Orginially from Ohio, I went to the big city of New York for about 5 years (mainly for school), and now I am working towards my masters at Cambridge in England. I hope this website gives everyone a taste of what my life is like here... and if nothing else I think you will find it fun and entertaining!!

Pembroke Formal Hall
See look how speedy I am!! I am already posting the Pembroke Rowing Exchange Formal Hall pictures. If anyone wants full versions of any pictures on this site for printing out, just let me know!! These will not print out nicely but they download fast for viewing purposes over the Internet.
Here is an overview of the table picture. It doesnt do it justice though. It was a very gorgeous room with candles all up and down on the tables. We all sat on hard wood benches which made it seem like the movie Oliver, but then you check out all the painting and sculptures surrounding you and it feels like eating in a museum hehe. Hey look you can kind of see "Prince William" in this picture!!
This is me with my rowing buddy Mark hehe. He has a hard time keeping his eyes open and his tongue in his mouth in pictures haha... but it was very entertaining. Plus he gets extra points for buying wine earlier and having a prettier cork.
Rachel you are sooo far away!! Your hair looked so nice at the formal hall!! How was your wine? She went with the red wine and Lucy and I went with the white wine... until we finished Mark's white wine too... and then we moved on to red wine hehe. Oh also note that everyone in the picture from Pembroke is wearing their gown... this is because they have a strict and formal gown policy at formal hall... but since we don't wear gowns at churchill we are kind of exempt.
Me with my first friend from Peru hehe!! He had good red wine!!
Here is Mark's famous tongue sticking out picture hehe.
Notice we finally have a great picture of Mark and what he almost looks like in real life hehe. Also look at my first Scottish friend :) he is soooo cool, plus he wore a kilt so gets automatic extra bonus points.
Rachel and Lucy!!! YAAY Rachel came to visit our side of the table.
Here we are after formal hall trying to decide what to do.
What? Staircase P has free drinks?? Then why are we going to the Queen's Bop!!!
hehe oh yeessss I know why we shouldn't go to staircase P... because it will just be lots of little people and we will feel like JCR (Junior Common Room... it is the MCR for undergrads) freshers hehe. So Lucy is working on determining our next plans to meet up with her friend. Meanwhile check out how cool the outside of their bar and hang out area is. I guess the picture didnt come out so well.
Lucy with her friend at Rat and Parrot. Lucy had an amazing drink called a Screaming Orgasm that was essentially a milk shake with a tiny touch of alchol hehe yummmmmmm... but this is already her second drink, maybe she had gin and tonic here?? I don't remember.
Then we went to the Queen's Bop but I didn't take pictures there. It was a decent disco with cool lights, fog and effects. Fairly empty at first but pretty happening by the time we left. I always have said that we are the center of the party Lucy!!! If we come, they will follow.... hahaha just kidding!!!!
Hugs and Kisses!!
