Every Nation and Cheese

Today, I went to church with Papa and Ann. Some other people from the program showed up, Katherine, Katlin, and David. Laura also showed up with her parents, who are very sweet! Church was really good. It was very refreshing and afterwards I got to briefly meet some other students. I am thinking about going on their student retreat, but it costs 40 pounds and I don't know if I can afford that. I am thinking of making a budget for myself so that I know I can make it through the semester. That will be interesting.

After church, we went out to eat at the Hamburger Union. It was very good! We all enjoyed the food and it is really close to my flat, so I might end up going there again, providing my proposed budget will allow it. :-)

After that, they went back to the hotel and I came back to the flat and read some more Bleak House and then took a little cat nap while Tracy banged around. Then I made a quick spaghetti dish for myself and then headed over to the Winston House.

Tonight Dr. Oehler and his wife, Alice put on a little cheese tasting. They had four different kinds of cheese from around England. They were pretty good although there was really only one that I really liked. It was called Seator's Orkney. It was soft and buttery and didn't have a strong bite to it. I enjoyed it. Ann and Papa came and got to meet a bunch of the people in my program. Then there was a movie that they were going to show, but Ann and Papa decided to head out since they were so tired and I decided I didn't really want to see another war movie... Since I've been here, in the last two or mabye three weeks I have seen: The Gladiator, Braveheart, and The Wind That Shakes The Barley. I figure that is enough gory, violent movies to last me for quite a while. So I came back here and watched Evan Almighty and was very happy to get look at my cousin. :-) Yay, Jesse!!!

Prayer Requests: That Ann and Papa's luggage will get here....very very soon...before they leave... Because it has a bunch of stuff that I need and they need clean clothes... I think that's all for now. Thank you so much!
