Greetings from across the pond! Oxford is AMAZING!
I arrived yesterday in a daze, spending most of the day drifting in an out of sleep on a couch in the hostel lounge. In between sporadic naps, I spent a few hours wondering around the nearby shops and streets in awe of the architecture and culture. The people are kind and friendly, and only sometimes give me a funny look when I speak.
Today was beautiful, sunny, and a balmy . I spent most of the day wondering around the central city exploring and taking in a few of the sights. The architecture is simply stunning, the air is clear, and there is green everywhere. Walking down the streets feels like walking on a movie set; its surreal!

Panini’s are a delicious local favorite for lunch and are really affordable. This one cost only £2.69.
Tonight it started snowing and it just makes everything look even more beautiful!
Everyone else will arrive tomorrow for housing check in, and then orientation begins Thursday!
Cheers!
