About Peggy
Daughter Mollie is almost graduated from Portland State University and has decided to take advantage of her parents suggestion to study abroad for the Summer of '12. Mollie chose England which makes perfect sense as she has always had a 'connection' with England and the ways for the English peeps. She is going the IFSA`Butler program way and will be studying for 6 weeks at Oxford University!

Mollie just called! She is in her room at the St. Giles. F U N to speak with her and hear how all has gone. It sounds like all is well with her. The plane flight was non-eventful but she could…
Peggy Mollie! Thanks so much for the interesting comment on the blog. I am so thirsty for information. I can hardly believe how unique the program is. Be sure to journal a BUNCH as this is such a life event. I'm sending you an e-mail. xoxo

Mollie Hi mom! There was something I wanted to tell you about but didn't have time on the phone to properly explain it. I think you'll like it. Every Monday the school holds something called high table dinners and I went to my first one tonight! It's a very fancy event; formal dress is required, absolutely no jeans allowed and girls usually wear dresses and heels. Tonight I wore the polka dot retro dress and the black flats you loaned me, if you're wondering :) It all starts at 5:15 in the evening, when we all meet in the cloisters (this place http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3197/2483348495_94f4148f2b_z.jpg) for a reception/cocktail hour. After this we move on to a lecture hall to see a guest speaker. Tonight it was a couple who perform Medieval/Renaissance music on authentic replicas of period instruments. They gave us a history lesson at the same time and it was so interesting! Next, we go to the dining hall, where a select few students are invited to sit at the main table (or 'High Table' as it's called) with professors and program leaders and that night's guest. If you're not picked then you just go sit at one of the lower tables. I wasn't chosen tonight but I might be by the time this is over! Finally, we're served a fancy three course meal. And this happens every week! I almost can't believe how lucky I am to be here.
