A Stroll Through The Meadow

---

Hello Again,
I hope you all are doing well? Yesterday afternoon was amazing. A couple of my friends and I when walking through a large public meadow called ‘Port Meadow’ to a country pub called ‘The Trout Inn’. I was a beautiful day! We strolled along the Thames, which is called the Isis in Oxford, and there are horses that graze freely in meadow that we petted. Then on the way back from having dinner at the pub there was an amazing sun set. I was a bit worried about not being able to go out into nature much while I was here, but this meadow is a 2 minute walk from my flat. I will be going there as often as possible.
Last night I also went to a performance of Hamlet at the Oxford Playhouse. It was very well done. The actor that played Hamlet did an amazing job. I was a lot of fun.
Well this week coming is 0 week, so I will be doing a lot to prepare for my tutorials. I already got my first reading list for my Philosophy of Religion tutorial, and it is quite extensive, but it will be very interesting. Well I have to go and starting work on that. Take Care!
Ad Deo Gloriam,
Matt

Concerning Existentialism
Alright Matt, you sack of crap. You get to go to England, and we all sit here in Kansas with nothing to do and without the privalege of making certain "racist" jokes, as some might call them. We miss you and talk about you all the time. I haven't juiced anything yet, but by the time you get back here I will have successfully fit a brick into said machine putting an end to your citrussy ruckus. In all seriousness, I miss you and I hope you're having the best of times *wink*! I guess that wasn't that serious. Okay for real: you're a dear friend to all of us and our prayers and thoughts go with you. We love you brother, and can't wait for you to return. See, that was serious? Your pirate name is Barnacle Bill. Plunder that god-forsaken island for all it's worth...neehar! Peace. -A-
