Me and Molly in front of a hotel which we were too underdressed to go in
Me being a "local" and on the right is the pub that C.S. Lewis and JR Tolkien met at often(Eagle and Child-not Green cafe, lol)
this a church near our house
Today, I woke up at 10, and had gone to bed at 8 the night before...wow i got a lot of sleep! Which is good because I needed. Me, Krisann, Jessalyn, and Casey walked around before we had orientation at 1. We found primark, which everyone had told us was like Walmart/Target. It has ALOT of cheap clothes but I dissapointed it did not carry tolitries and other departments. I know where to buy cheap clothes, purses, shoes, etc. now though. Then we had orientation, where we were split up into three groups, and we were given a lot of information about the house, rules, and travel breaks. etc. My class schedule is:
Monday
9:00-11:50 HUM 222
2:00-4:30 INTS 240
Tuesday
1:30-4:00 HUM 240
Wednesday
9:00-11:50 HUM 222
Thursday(no class!!)
Friday
9:00-11:50 HUM 222( which i am kinda bummed about having this on friday because we were told we would have NO CLASS on fridays, but she said it wouldn't be EVERY friday. I wish I could switch my thursday and friday schedule, but I am sure that I will adjust.
Then I went exploring more and we found the big Sainsbury grocery store, that I liked a lot better than the smaller one I had been to yesterday. It seemed more familiar somehow, but I am having a hard time figuring out what to cook/eat...because I don't know how to cook, lol.
Then, later tonight me and some other girls heard that there was free jazz music at a hotel nearby. I thought it sounded fun and i wanted to get out of the house. We showed up and it was a REALLY fancy place. Some of the girls walked in and everyone there gave them weird looks, so we left.
Please email me or facebook me because I really want to hear from you guys!!

I am suddenly homesick for Oxford.. imagine that. You already look European! I love the hat :) I hope you are loving getting aquainted with the beautiful city. Have you even thought of where your first trip will be?? I know it's a little early but I thought I'd ask :) That stinks about your Thursday/Friday schedules. I wish they were swapped too! I'm sure your professor will be understanding throughout the semester. I love your blog so far :) Thanks for keeping us updated!!
