So This is the Forest of Arden
The guy in the middle is Jonathan, our valiant and fearless Junior Dean, a.k.a. The Queen's Favorite, a.k.a. The Guv'ner. On Valentine's Day all fifteen of us girls in the house surprised him ridiculously early in the morning--because the Guv'ner keeps odd hours--with a giant card, balloons, flowers, confetti, and breakfast. Ever the proper Brit, Jonathan was properly embarrassed, and said, "I believe this is my best Valentine's Day ever." Which, of course, earned him a rousing chorus of "Awww!"
Tonight Sara and Bethany and I went to a student performance of As You Like It at New College. It was in this little room in an old medieval building (cold! because it's still snowing) with only about thirty chairs, and the actors were about four feet in front of the front row. They did a terrific job, and the best part was, the British accents weren't faked.
One last anecdote:
Me: Why is the Archbishop of Canterbury so famous?
Sara: Because he made all that chocolate...oh wait, that's Cadbury.
