Bop

Last Saturday was our MCR's bop (in normal English that mean's our college graduate society's party). It was a Valentine's Day party, which was actually good because it meant there was no set costume, which is annoyingly standard at these parties. Of course our new social secretary decided to go all out as cupid, which meant a diaper and not much else (I'll resist posting a picture). It was fun, but Shahz and I had volunteered to help work the door/coat check, which ended up turning into two+ hours of madness as drunk people tried to get in without paying, and drink people tried to get out without knowing what their coats looked like. Imagine 100 or so coats, and everyone going "I don't know, it's kinda black." Here's a picture of me looking dissheveled by the end of it all, and the wonderfully organised coat sorting system behind me.

The good part was that we got to wear new clothes from our shopping excursion to Bicester Village. It's an outlet about a 1/2 hour outside of Oxford with a ton of designer shops at a big discount. Normally everything here is ridiculously expensive (food, electronics, beer, etc.), but these were some of the best deals I've seen on some designers like Ted Baker, whose store I'd walked by every day in NY last summer.
