Fish and Chips?

Sorry for the delay in blogging, skype is up and running now so I've been quite distracted with it! My skype name is emcarrollwil if you wanna skype ever (: So on Friday we had fish and chips! If you don't know, I am a vegetarian but sometimes I give fish a chance. I was very excited for this classically British meal however, I just could not bring myself to eat more than a few bites. I did really like it I must say but I just couldn't get over the fact that the fish used to be alive! Ahhhh!!!!! I wish I could though really. Anyway, then yesterday I got a new phone! Yay!!! Its way fancy haha I don't know how to deal with it. After I bought my phone we went to this really cute village called Islip, its really close to Barton. Islip is famous for being the birthplace of Edward the Confessor. Who, unfortunately, I don't know very much about! There is a shrine to him in the church which is now an Anglican church. However, it does have this really old tapestry upstairs that has the Catholic Profession of Faith on it. It was beautiful and I just felt a huge spiritual connection there. Then Haroun and I came home and made a giant Victoria Sponge!!! If you don't know, a Victoria Sponge is a two layer sponge cake that has strawberry jam and whipped cream between the layers. Yummy, yummy, yummmyyyyy!!!! We made the cake because Heather's cousin Alaster and his wife Lynne came to stay the night! They live in New Zealand and they are just finishing a three week tour of Great Britain. They are really great, fun, and interesting! Today we went on a picnick at Blenheim Palace with Lynne, Alaster, Heather Haroun, Heather's sister Caroll and her kids Alice and Timothy. This evening I got to skype with my amazing friend Nolan! I've really missed him and it is great to be able to talk so easily! Tomorrow morning I'm going to school for some kind of orientation! I hope it goes well!! Wish me luck!
