Religion

So it might astound some of you who know me to learn that yesterday, I went to church.

You read that right. Church. I went to Christ Church for the 11:30 service and participatd in eucharist.

I didn't do it under pressure. I didn't do it for a reward. I chose to go to an Anglican Christian service! And it was fun. Very interesting to hear a choir that was in perfect harmony. It was, simply put, beautiful.

At 1 o clock we had a garden party, hosted by the OSAP group. There I met my tutor, Dr. Emily Winkler, who will be teaching me in Arthurian Legend with a focus on Merlin. It will be very exciting. We met a few British students, including Oliver, a student who is studying German, and Robbie, a mathematician. Ollie was great, and 3 of us ended up walking around the Thames River with Ollie discussing theology. Some of the rowing teams were there, rowing up and down the Thames. It was entertaining to watch. It was a beautiful day to be outside; the sun was shining and it was just cool enough to wear a suit without getting too hot. 

The British students took us to a pub chain that is very popular around England, and I had my first Sunday roast. The Yorkshire pudding was fantastic, of course.
