Today was not productive, but that’s okay
I slept in some this morning, and after my morning routine, I read Hitch Hiker for a while until it was time for lunch. I ate my tuna while reading things on the internet. Then I e-mailed some people and decided that I should read my last article for my tutorial, the only productive thing I did all day. It was an inflationary report issued by the Bank of England for last November. I know everybody is so jealous of me right now. As I was reading this, some random person messaged me on skype. I have no idea who he was so it was weird, so I answered his questions vaguely and finally told him I was going to the grocery and had to go.
So after this, when I had finished reading, I got ready and headed out to Tesco. I was in a really weird mood, just really relaxed, maybe from not doing anything all day. I got to the store and was sort of amazed. Sainsbury’s is pretty small and doesn’t have much stuff. This store was quite big and there were tons of people. They had a fresh bread section and freezer sections, where there were frozen pizzas!! I didn’t get one this time, but I think I will next weekend maybe because they have personal size ones for only 30 pence. I ended up getting some herbal teas, buy one get one free, so I got peppermint (my favorite kind of tea for cold days) and vanilla. I also got some milk, for my tea and other things, and some cheese spread (also buy one get one free). Then I got some cheap chocolate chip cookies, which I might have to get some more of those. And last I got a sandwich size baguette. I almost got a bag of a baker’s dozen of rolls, the kind with the hard outside, sort of like a small baguette, but I was afraid I wouldn’t finish them before they go too hard. And I got all this food for a little over 5 pounds and then with my discounts, a little under 4 pounds. Pretty good deal. So that was very exciting and made me very happy. Now I can have cheese and crackers as well as peanut butter and crackers. Yay!! I’m also just glad to have the store fairly close.
After I got back, I was going to work on my internship paper for G-town because I had almost forgotten about it. However, I was putting stuff up and Marshelle heard me (because you can hear whenever my door opens because it squeaks really loud). She came out and asked if I would want to go to a movie, as long as it wasn’t too expensive. I said sure. So hopefully I’ll finish that paper tomorrow and get started on my tutorial paper too. So after a little while, after I drank some of my peppermint tea, we left and walked over to the movie theatre, which is near Regent’s. We decided they were too expensive and we had just missed one showing so we opted to just walk around town, although most of the shops were already closing. We ran by Regent’s so Marshelle could sign up for her meals and then went by the Eagle and Child because she was really thirsty so she could get a drink. We stopped in Borders and then wandered around the streets of Oxford. We walked home a long way, walking down the street where my tutor’s college, Harris Manchester, is. Then we walked down past Tesco and down that road so I could show her the shorter way to get there because she had been going a different way. It was a good walk and good to talk. We covered a range of subjects, including GSP, which she also went to, at Northern.
When we got back, I made some soup and ate that with my baguette and cheese spread and a cookie for dessert. I was very full, I think the most full I have been since I got here, maybe too full, but it was good. I talked to Kyle while I ate and for a while after I was done. Then I read Hitch Hiker for a while. Now I am going to call my mom and then go to bed. So even though I wasn’t productive in one sense, I still did a lot, after I got out of my room for a little while, so still a good day I think.
