shopping, eating and clubbing. (no wonder i love it here...)

Sunday Jeff and I met up with a group of the FL girls (the pic is with Taylor, Stephanie and the two of us) and we ate lunch at this cute little Italian restaurant called Bella Italia on the south side of campus, which we had not explored before. It’s right next to this really pretty lake where there was more punting, naturally. We walked into town and did a little bit of window shopping at Grand Arcade, which is basically the Cambridge mall. I didn’t buy anything because it mostly consists of high-end European retail stores which will suck away my money. That night was the first time all week that we didn’t go out, haha. Instead, we spent some time in the game room after dinner, which has, amongst other amusements, a set of huge Jenga blocks, so that provided massive entertainment. I also beat Corbin repeatedly at Connect Four. Afterwards we chilled in Chase’s room for a while until it was past our respective bedtimes.

Yesterday Jeff and I went shopping again, and this time I actually bought some things because we went to H&M which is relatively cheap (although it still makes me cringe every time I do the mental conversion of pounds to USD), and got two shirts, a sundress and a top for going out for £14- not too bad, right? We grabbed sandwiches at Pret a Manger, a little café slash takeout chain which is delicious. Last night, we went back to Revolution, of which I've included a pic of its daytime appearance, and had what I think was our craziest night there! The pic is of Lindsay, Laura and me- yay Helenes!


Today I’m going to Wagamama with Jeff, Lindsay and Laura (who’s visiting her) and then tonight we’re planning on having our own garden party in Selwyn J I also wanted to go to tonight’s lecture on the American presidential election, I think it would be interesting to hear about it from the point of view of a British academic. Tomorrow Jeff and I are determined to actually run and go out to Grantchester (I have no idea where it is and he partially remembers from last year, so it’ll be an adventure). We’re also trying to arrange for a group of us to go to London for the weekend, since we’re seeing King Lear at the Globe this Saturday anyway, we might as well spend more time there. Hopefully it all works out!
