I know you haven't heard from me in a few days! That's because I have been SO busy: We are in class from 9-4. Then I walk a brisk 20 min. walk home (my dorm room). Recently I have had errands every day so that means trying to find what I need before it closes at 5 or 5:30. Most places close early! I have a favorite place that I have eaten dinner for the last 3 nights called the Turl Street Kitchen. It is a farm to table type place with the freshest food. They change the menu every night. I always eat at the "community or share" table because that way I don't have to eat alone. Several people always sit at the long table and we share the meal and conversation! The girl that I sat by last night had just come from working for the Peace Corps in Costa Rica. She was in Oxford to see about applying for a graduate Business degree. Today one of our instructors took us on a museum art tour around Oxford and someone came up and tapped me on the shoulder--it was the cute 25 year old that spotted me and came over to say "hello."
I will talk more about my classes when I can catch up with you this weekend. I am loving the studies!
Cotswold honey-colored stonework, quadrangles, domes, bell-towers, slim spires, cobblestones, winding-alleyways, punting, beautiful gardens, "golf-course" like grass in the quadrangles, C. S. Lewis, J.R. R. Tolkien, ancient doors and gates, afternoon tea, the colleges and halls...................some of my early impressions and things I have noticed. I haven't had much time to explore yet.
Tonight I am heading to Michael Ramsden's home for a barbecue. (one of the professors)
More later! Mae Ann
