Yes… it’s true and very sad. Term 1 ended yesterday. Most of my friends that I made are either on their way home or doing some traveling before going home. On the upside, that means I won’t be distracted by friends inviting me places so I can finish my essays.
Although yesterday, I didn’t do my essays like I should have. I realized that I had seen hardly anything in Cambridge! Sure, I’d seen much of the city and the Kings Chapel but that was about it. So yesterday, I visited the Fitzwilliam and Sedgwick Earth Science museums, Wren Library (Oh my holy! So stunning… I wanted to actually touch the books that were in the roped-off book cases), Kettle’s Yard, swung back around and had lunch at a mexican restaurant I’ve been wanting to try (too much salsa, but it was good), walked around to the park behind it and had a little nap before hitting the mall before going back to my college.
I have a couple new favorite stores: Jane Norman and All Saints. Their clothes are so cute! A little expensive, but it’s the good quality stuff. Bought an adorable jacket, a mini-dress, and a tee shirt. Also got a new pair of sunglasses at Monsoon since mine broke while I was in Oxford last weekend. Dropped quite a bit of money, but I’m in love with what I got so it’s worth it!
After dropping off my shopping bags, I attended a choral evensong at Trinity College. The choir was truly phenomenal… They all had the same tone and color, sounding unbelievably uniform. Add the acoustics of the Trinity Chapel and you’re looking at a truly spectacular spectacle of choral music. In the middle of the program, someone announced that they were the “irregular choir” made up of previous Trinity choir members who had agreed to come and sing and that the “regular choir” only sung at them during the school year. I was floored! From the way they sounded, the group seemed like they had sung together for years. If that’s what their irregular choir sounds like, I’d kill to hear what the real choir sounds like. My hunt for the Trinity choir CD will commence once I finish my essays.
Did some research for my papers last night before going to bed and now I’m going to start the actual writing of the essays! I know I should be writing them instead of this blog, but I hadn’t updated in a while so I thought I would while I remembered everything from yesterday.
Registration for Term 2 is tomorrow. Should be fun! 
Oh! New pictures are posted in my Facebook. (Let me know if you can’t see the pictures by using this link in a comment)
