We made it to Oxford early this afternoon by train, and I the a revelation that I only have one more train ride before I head back to the homeland! These past three months have gone by incredibly past... particularly the last month or so. I'm excited at the prospect of not having to pack up all my clothing and books every few days. What a wonderful feeling to spread out once more (anyone who has seen my room at home knows that keeping my clothing confined to a small space is a challenge for me... I like to spread out). I have less than two weeks left now to wrap up my experience across the pond, and I know it will fly by, so I'll try to make the most of this last week and a half.
Oxford is very beautiful, definitely a college town. There are hundreds of bikes all over the place and an equal amount of students wondering the city centre. I never knew that Oxford University was made up of sooo many different colleges (my favorite being "Jesus College", I think I'm going to by their code of arms sweatshirt)!
I can't lie, I've been a little homesick recently. I've been looking forward more and more to coming home and relaxing. I'm also SUPER excited about visiting Whitworth (Novemeber 7th-11th for those of you Whitworthians) and I will be spending my 21st birthday with my best friend Kelsey at her school, Sonoma State, in California!
Not much time to relax, I know, but I'll be in Juneau from the 15th of November all the way through Christmas, hopefully substitute teaching.
Well, I will write more later... Lots of love!
