Today was a sleep in day. I'm still not adjusted to the time zone so last night around 11pm Caiti and I were wide awake, dancing around my room. Since we missed the 7am meal (ew), we walked down Trinity St looking for a nice place to have brunch. We happened upon 'Tatties' and I have an omelet and Caiti, Cambridge sausage. Not an everyday occurrence, but we shall revisit.
History class was good again today and I was assigned a presentation on an early modern woman from English or Scottish monarchy. My lady is Anne Boleyn and I am very excited. Some of you may know the fascination I have for Henry VIII and his wives, but for those who don't, I like Henry VIII. For this project I have free reign, with the only requirements being a 5 minute presentation and 750 words. Awesome. I'll explore her early life, her religion, and her obvious influential power over Henry all the way to her accused crimes that brought about her beheading.
In other news, the opening banquet was this evening. It began with an exciting social time on the forbidden grass, which was very much anticipated. No one is allowed on the grass in any of the courts, so tonight was comparable to eating ice cream for breakfast; you know it would be awesome, but is severely frowned upon. The formal affair was complete with candles and waiters during a lovely 4 course meal in one of the college's special halls.
