Oxford!

Remember to go ahead and read my post before this one first, as it sums up the travel portion, and this one just introduces the Oxford half of things.

So here we are. Oxford. This is the Oxford Study Program, after all, and we've finally made it to the place. I've only been here for 16 hours or so, so I can't really tell you much, so I'm just going to go ahead and give you the basic rundown.

First of all, we're staying and studying at Worchester College, just a tiny campus in the grand Oxford University scheme of things. Most of my travel group mates are staying in the Canal Building Dormitory with me, and let me tell you, we're getting spoiled in here. I was all excited for North Ave. next year, and it's probably going to suck in comparison to this. Well, all the video games will probably even things out. haha.

To give you a taste of where I'm staying, I filmed a quick tour of my room. Keep in mind that I have this room to myself. I have no roommate. At all. Zero.



Yeah, it's pretty awesome.

I don't have class until 13:15 (another win), but I got up early today to get some groceries, since we don't get served lunch here. We do get breakfast and dinner though, and while I haven't been to breakfast yet, dinner is pretty much a three course meal which gets served to us. Unfortunately, we don't really have any control over what we get served, so last night's dinner wasn't too great, considering it was Salmon. I tried to eat it, I really did, but I got sick to my stomach after 2 bites, so I stopped. haha. I was a bit hungry going to be last night.

I suppose that's where the groceries come in though. I got a whole bunch of stuff (bread, lunch meat, detergent, snacks, apples, drinks, etc...) for only 15 pounds, which I feel is pretty cheap. Also makes me glad that we have our own fridge. Certainly comes in handy.

I think that's a pretty decent overview of things. I have class from 13:15 to 16:25 every Monday-Thursday. The campus here is beautiful, and we see a lot of it because the Canal building is literally on the opposite side of the campus from just about everything. Even though I don't have class 'till the afternoon, I still think I'm going to try and get up early, so I can get breakfast and then get into the routine of writing for an hour or so every morning.

Also, keep in mind now that since our routine has stabilized itself considerably, I probably won't have as much to tell you guys. I'll definitely keep you all up to date with stuff, but just don't expect an update every day, cause that would be just as boring for you as for me.

Hope everything is going well.
