To market

This morning I woke to the sounds of water splashing....turns out that Courtney took a "shower" in the kitchen sink today! Haha, we were out of hot water, so she decided to splash cold water on herself rather than take a steady cold shower. :)

After class ended at noon, I went to the market for the first time! I loved walking around to the different booths and seeing all of the fresh fruits and vegetables...and they were cheaper too! I did homework this afternoon, and then I had class again from 4:00-6:30 pm. After dinner, a group of us (Me, Sarah, Jennifer, Beth Ann, Denyce, Josh and Nathan) went to Freuds for drinks. When I got back to the house, I started planning the Scotland/Ireland trip I'm going to take with Leigh Ann in October! I am so excited! :)







"Aged Cities"
I have known cities with the strong-armed Rhine
Clasping their mouldered quays in lordly sweep;
And lingered where the Maine's low waters shine
Through Tyrian Frankfort; and been fain to weep
Mid the green cliffs where pale Mosella laves
That Roman sepulchre, imperial Trèves.
Ghent boasts her steet, and Bruges her moonlight square;
And holy Mechlin, Rome of Flanders, stands
Like a queen-mother on her spacious lands;
And Antwerp shoots her glowing spire in air.
Yet have I seen no place, by inland brook,
Hill-top, or plain, or trim arcaded bowers,
That carries age so nobly in its look
As Oxford with the sun upon her towers.
