Hello all!
Doing well here in Oxford. I was incredibly homesick, but now that we have Internet, things are much better.
Yesterday, we had an all day orientation. It was very informative, but 8 1/2 hours of information was a bit much though we did get tea and lunch breaks.
Today was a lazy day here we all slept in then had a flatmate meeting and dashed off for groceries. We will probably eat some frozen pizza and watch Downton Abbey. My flatmates are lovely people and our flat is cute.
Grocery shopping here is very different from the States. First off - much smaller and tiny portions, which is good. They have things at a grocery store I hadn't thought would be there. Nothing bad, I just didn't expect hiking boots at a grocery store.
Tomorrow i'm going to adventure into the city centre to find where my college and my Monday meeting are.
I haven't taken any pictures yet, but we took a flat picture as we headed of to the grocery store.
I'm going to check with the Porter at the college to see what they say about mail then I can give my address.
Hope all is well back in the States!
Becca
Yes, there is something about getting internet that makes you feel closer. Glad to hear you are getting settled in. Can't wait to hear about your impression of the city. How is the weather? We have been in the single digits :( Thinking of you! ly
ReplyDeleteFirst trip to the grocer, flat mates meeting and have menu for dinner already planned! Sounds like you're off and running. It's great to have good flatmates. That makes all the difference. Good luck on your venture tomorrow and next week. Thinking of you! Mary
