Spent the day in Oxford, and it is incredible. We arrived at the bus stop at 7:30 this morning and did not return until 7:30 that night. We went to 8 of the colleges and their chapels. Oxford University is made up of variety of colleges that each teach a variety of subjects. Seniors are currently taking their exams, so they were all dressed up (they looked like characters from Harry Potter.) While we put on sweat pants for exams, Oxford students wear bow ties, dresses with tights and long black robes. Some of the buildings on the campus were made as early as the 1300's, when Oxford began as a school for priests. Each college had a private garden. We also went into Christ Church College dining hall, better known as the dining hall used in Harry Potter. We also strolled down to the Eagle and the Child, where C.S. Lewis and Tolken would meet to discuss ideas. The town of Oxoford isn't bad either, it was made up of an eclectic mix of boutiques and cafes. So I guess you could say I finially decided what to do and where to go when I graduate. Don't worry mom and dad, I'm only kidding (kind of).
