Kristen S. - Oxford, England - Spring 2008

So, I am a little over halfway through my time here in Oxford. It has been quite a trip. I have been to Wales, saw Princess Anne, went to London, saw the British Museum twice, saw the Tate Modern, and ate pizza at a European Pizza Hut--they are very classy here. Bottom line: I have seen a lot of awesome sights in UK so far. Tutorials and Seminars are almost done, so in about two weeks there will be no more weekly essays; I am quite ready to see those go. I am in the process of planning a trip to Germany, which is something to look forward to. Soon we start having integral lecture, and all the Oxford students go home for break. It is getting to the point where going home is not such a bad thing. It would be nice to eat food that tastes like I want it to taste, and, secondly, to have more than eight shirts to cycle through. No severe homesickness yet, which I appreciate. I had a visitor from home, and when my visitor left, I had a more much more difficult time. But things are good now. On Saturday we went to Blenheim Palace which was interesting and huge. It was nice to take a break after a week of four papers. So a little burned out on writing and British food, but overall doing wonderfully across the pond.

As always, if you got a question, send me a comment. Have a wonderful day everyone!!!!
