Pictures: Up and Running! (I hope...)

I think that this address will go directly to my PhotoBucket. If anyone experiences issues, let me know!

There's more to come, trust me.

First Impressions?

I just returned from my first class of the week-- Philosophy of Love and Relationships. It is already exciting to me, as my teacher is amazing and there are only 2 other girls in my class. Since she decided that our 3rd class of the week will only be office hours, I have no classes on Wednesday. Depending on my work load (which doesn't sound like much), I will probably use that day to explore.

Thus far, Oxford is amazing. It is cold but not nearly as much as I thought. My ears have been hurting from the wind, but the rain is minimal and I've been getting away with wearing a t-shirt, sweatshirt, jacket, and scarf. Wonderful!

Must go, Lesley (I've been spelling it wrong-- oops!) and I are going into Oxford to get a bus pass for the rest of the time we are here, then off to ethics class together. I also spoke too soon-- it's now raining outside. I'll update more later, and hopefully get some pictures up!

Satisfaction upon arrival

It is 9:30 pm, and the girls of 388 Barnbury Road House have just returned from the Dew Drop Inn pub, where we each purchased a pint of our choice and had some very in depth conversations. We have decided to get into our jammies and hang out, since orientation isn't until 11 am tomorrow. Leslie is slowly moving her stuff into my room, as she hates her tiny closet that has been called a single bedroom. I'm just happy to have a roommate.

I wanted to post some pictures of my room, but I might be forced to make a PhotoBucket account or something since I seem to be experiencing difficulties with posting them on this. I will put the address up as soon as I figure this out.

As for now, the only plans I have are to hang out with the girls tonight/move Leslie in, plow through this week of class, and head to Dublin with the girls downstairs for the weekend. Miss you all!

Before Seattle

Well, here I am, sitting in the airport and waiting for my flight to Seattle. It leaves at 3:30, so I have a few hours to read up on the places that I want to go to, primarily in England as opposed to the other countries of Europe.

I will figure that all out when I get there.

Right now, I'm incredibly sleep deprived (due to hours of a little RLS last night) and just ready to go. My heart is racing with nervousness and excitement and the consumption of way too much coffee today. I have about 11 hours of flight time to look forward to, then I will be in London at noon tomorrow (Saturday).

As far as communication goes, I won't be able to call but I will have Skype and AIM and email, so feel free to use any of them (you can look me up on Skype using my screen name for AIM or my full name). I would love to hear how everyone is doing!

Farewell for now-- my next update will be in my dorm in Oxford. Wish me luck.
