European Experiences final column
By Kylie Kinley
Blue Hill Leader
I am wrapping up my stay here in England, basically packing and studying for finals. And since I am taking finals at one of the most prestigious universities in the world, I am a little nervous. However, I have had enough fun in the past few weeks that I suppose it is time I had to do something a little tedious. I left off in this column right after we got back from London, and the week following was spent just hanging out in Oxford and going to class. Our excursion for the week was a trip to the Sandown Racetrack last Wednesday, where I lost two pounds on a horse named Hip Hip Hooray and then quit. As an added bonus, the Pussycat Dolls were performing at the track, so I can now say that I have seen the Pussycat Dolls in concert.
