Incase the last post wasn't enough here is another to describe the happenings of the rest of naught week.

Luckily, Wednesday was a relaxing day. We had no obligations with our Program - the day was ours! I wandered into town to see the market near Gloucester Green, where the produce stands were swamped with people, I managed to find my way into one area and bought some brussels sprouts, which I will be eating for the next month, good thing I like them! I walked up to the woman to pay.

"A pound fifty"
"I think I've got it"
"Yes you do. Do you need a bag?"
"No ma'am"
"I do like being called ma'am."
"I'm so sorry. I'm an American it just slipped out!" and the kind woman said she knew and continued to tease me about calling her ma'am for several minutes until another customer came up to pay. I was terribly embarrassed, but now it's rather funny.

After my very American slip, I wandered to the grocery store for a few items, now i don't remember what, but they were important at the time!

That night I had my first pub experience. It was quite interesting to people watch. We were relegated to outside for a while until one girl found a table inside. Since we were all popsicles by then, we were more than glad to head inside. Not too much later the group called it quits and headed home. The fog was incredible by then, but we made it home, with the help of a bus - again it was rather cold.

Thursday flew by! We had our introductions to our college libraries followed by a tour by the Junior Common Room President - it's kind of like a student body president of the college. Our tour was rescheduled for today because our poor JCR president was stuck in a meeting for an hour and a half. Ah Thursday was a major grocery shopping adventure because I made dinner last night. My great-aunts' oven fried chicken and brussels sprouts. I was practically jumping up and down when the dinner came out alright! My flatmates even said it was good! Yippee!

Today I spent the middle chunk of my day at the library reading my text for my British women's history of the twentieth century tutorial. I swear I read that thing twice and I'm still not entirely sure what I read so I'll be back there tomorrow because I do not have borrowing rights at that library.

Have a lovely weekend and I will be sure to post about what ever adventures arise!
