PRINCE HARRY WATCH: Day 1, nothing

So after a long and uncomfortable plane ride followed by a excruitating wait on the runway...ahem delta...I arrived to lovely Oxford only to discover how truly amazing this city is. I'm talking true scenery. My room is huge with a big window looking out over the quadrangle (one of thousands on campus) and chaise lounge in case I need to swoon or ponder life's mysteries. So neccessary. Last night, we had a welcome barbeque with the three other American universities that we are sharing Trinity College with. It was a bit like a middle school dance in that people were clearly sizing each other up and judging each respective school against each other, but fun nonetheless. Afterwords, we gathered in the college pub ( Yes, that's right. A bar inside my dorm building. How great are these Brits?) to watch the EuroCup final. Woo. After a couple of pints we venutred out to the city to experience the night life. We offended some spainards, met some scots, danced the night away. the usual.

Today, we were given a very informative tour of some of the campus' highlights. Things to remember/google later:
Sir Thomas Wren
Bodelian Library
Wishing Bridge
Men's Rugby Team

Tonight we have our first High Table Dinner which promises to be exciting and filling. Can't wait!

So far, I am completely head-over-heels, butterflies, crazy person in love with Oxford and all of its charm. My return status is currently up in the air....sorry Mom and Dad!

Anxiously awaiting departure

Hello friends and family! As you know, I am leaving shortly (as in like 9 hours) to travel and study abroad in the UK. I will be attending the prestigious Oxford University, where I will most likely be studying my butt off, and traveling around Great Britain, Wales, Scotland, and (if funds allow) Ireland. This online journal will be a memoir of my trip and an update of my life for those of you who are not as lucky as I to be flitting around jolly ol' England. I will be sure to include every superfulous detail of my every move and, if I can figure out how, pictures of my journey. It will almost be like you're there with me! (Except that, in actuality, you are sitting in front of a computer screen somewhere in North America...) What can I say, I'm a giver.

But seriously, the plan as of now is to update at least every other day so that you, my dear friends and family, can keep up with my life. Oh, and to give you a place to request souvenirs...

Wish me good luck! Or as the English say "Cheers!"
