blog post #12
hey gang! i've missed you all so much xx. i've been super busy in the UK as of late - i'm doing a philosophy/modern history/literature course in oxford for my summer. it's been inSANE. i'll give you a little rundown:
basically, i stay in a dorm in Balliol College - one of the oldest colleges in the world. it's pretty incredible. i decided on this course because, obviously, i love all three of these things. and when i say the course is incredible, i mean the course is actually SO GAS. we've been studying cartesian solipsism, dualism, locke and hobbes, romantic poetry, speeches from history, rhetorical analysis and literary tactics, and pretty much history from industrial rev to present. (boo, renaissance is where it is at!)
i'm actually in a college seminar right now, but i am a little bit bored because i am already aware of how to apply in the US, this is more centered for UK/international students. might as well update the ol' girl blog! what else...
i made a lot of friends! girls from liverpool, switzerland, the netherlands, france, germany, japan etc. we ALL take the philosophy etc course. unfortunately, almost EVERYONE at balliol right now are taking the business course offered. #lame. also...not to play the male bisexual card but...lord almighty. some guys here are FINE as hell. and for some reason, gingers from the US who have an interest in philosophy are a catch and a half. i've pulled a good few individuals. a good day to be me.
the english food is, uh, exactly as media portrays it. mediocre. VERY mediocre. for dinner, i've had the world's most criminal offense of a burger, heinous spaghetti - it goes without saying that i've been eating off campus. breakfast here, however, does hit the spot. i go straight for some classic beans on toast, porridge, and a delicious cup of black coffee. (tequila drops her meal plan?!?! not clickbait?!?!)
some interesting occurences: MY FUCKING ?!?!?!?! BIRD INCIDENT???? ok so: i was checking into the common room for a meeting with my house - yes, english people do actually have this shit - and there was this literal fucking pigeon in the room. just, like, sat on the couch. and people are screaming, and his ass is just SAT there. does not give a fuck. chilled the fuck out. iced, even. (virgin human losers | chad pigeon) anyway, everyone was freaking, so i ran in and just. picked him up. and put him out the window. alright.
because myna is going to shit BRICKS if i don't, i am going to do a good omens page / post somewhere. it wont be a BLOG post because i am not CRINGE - but do expect a little link page to a location with that kind of content there.
lots of love,
tequila xx
