Is it Thursday Yet?

Over the semester, my roommate, Amy, and I have been hanging out on Thursdays because neither of us have class that day, while our two other roommates have class all day. We refer to Thursdays that we spend doing fun things together, or really anything together, as 'Thursdays with Camy' or 'Camy Day'. (Camy because it is a combination of Caitlin and Amy. It was created by one of friends at our home univerisity because we were roommates and spent a bunch of time together.)

At the beginning, Camy Day was all about going to a new place to eat lunch and ordering something interesting. We did because we cook meals for ourselves all the time and it seemed only fair that at least once a week we eat out somewhere exciting while we are studying in Oxford.

We went to several cafes and a few restaurants on Camy Days, getting food ranging from a Twix Crepe and Bagel Sandwich with Turkey, Brie, and Cranberry Sauce to Jacket Potato with Cheese. Usually the food places we choose are really tasty, such as the local pub Angel and Greyhound (although technically we went there on a Friday) and Georgina's. But recently Camy Days have somehow morphed from tasty new restaurant experience into tasty new flavored milkshake from Shakespeare's.

I am not entirely sure when this change happened. One week we planned to go to a local pub called Chequers, but it was not open so we went grocery shopping instead. Did we get milkshakes that day instead? I am not sure. We also were usually not that hungry for an entire meal anyways, though, because we wake up late and eat breakfast late. I know that we planned to get Shakespeare's one week because it looked like a fun, new, hip place. (I mean, it's named after an old, famous poet, so of course it is going to be cool.) And we did plan to get milkshakes as a celebration for winning elected positions in our home organization's board.

But however it happened, we now have to get a milkshake at least once a week. I actually went with Austin over the weekend while Amy and Libby were in Paris, so I think I am going to end up having gone there twice in one week, which is crazy.

And if you are wondering why I seem to always end up talking about candy and sugar, take this picture as your answer:

Until next time...

Embrace the Odd,
