I was watching some Naruto (subbed) because my little brother, everyday runs into my room and is like.

'So Katie, let me tell you what happened on Naruto today.'

So we watched some fights, some epic fights. Like Reanimation Raikage vs Naruto, and Itachi + Naruto + Bee vs Nagato, then some other fight with Naruto and a bunch of White Zetsus

Now, I havent watched Naruto Shippuden since like episode 20, and it was dubbed. When the heck did it get so badass!? 

It was awesome! And Naruto with his sexy, cool ass Japanese voice, with his Rasen-Shuriken and shit!

Can we talk about this! My mind was blown!And Octopops is cool! and Itachi was inside Naruto as a crow! 

Wow Man.

I hope I do alright....

Wish me luck Charle!

"Hmph. You are bound to fail."

I saw them three times but the first time I saw them I had been working furiously for 6 1/2 hours, had not eaten all day, and was rushing back to my apartment to finish the cookies for thesis, hopefully grab a bite to eat (did not pan out... I didn't eat until 5:30 today), and make it to thesis in time. So that meeting was a bit rushed.

Then after thesis I was walking back to my apartment when I remembered the Oxford Q&A was about to happen so I wanted to sit in and see what the slide show was like after having attended. I went my freshman year but I am positive my perception of the pictures and everything has changed. Well, no one showed up so Francis, Penelope, the study abroad advisor here, Colin and I sat around and talked for an hour. It was a lot of fun getting to catch up and chat.

Tonight there was a dessert party at my German professor's house for them. It was at 7. At 7:30 I remembered it was happening. I am not sure how many people were there before but it was a rather small crowd which pleased me. I hate big crowds so the intimacy was more productive. The group of us sat around and talked Oxford, theses, masters programs, LA, C.S. Lewis, smart phones and computers, pastry school, etc. for two hours. That was one of the best conversations I have had in a long time. 

What I noticed, though, is that every time we were talking, even when I ran into them unexpectedly in the SLTC, it didn't feel at all like any time had passed. It was the oddest sensation. I almost felt like I was down in the library at 27 talking about my tutorials or politics or literature or just life in general. I have only spoken to Penelope a few times since I have been back about business of different sorts but I felt so comfortable around them. I have to go back to Oxford and soon.

My sister and I were both able to stop in on the meeting about going to Oxford for interested students and see Francis and Penelope again! I also later ran into them as they were about to go into the caf to eat! I just kind of laughed inside my head thinking: "you can't take Francis Warner into the caf to eat, he's too classy!" I wish I'd had a meal plan so I could have joined them.

Francis was sweet enough to sit and chat with me for a minute though and ask what classes I was in and had just come from. I told him I'd been in Greek, translating and he asked me what. I told him we were doing Shepherd of Hermas and had just finished the martyrdom of Polycarp and he goes, "I wrote a play about that, it's in your library." I just thought: "Of course you did, Francis! And OF COURSE it is!" So tonight I went to the library to check it out. I also brought back another play of his and a copy of a lecture he lent me when we were talking about WWII back in Oxford. It's such a beautiful lecture.
