Finaly. I can blog...

Hi friends,
I know that I have not been very good about blogging on my little summer adventure but being in Italy and Greece didnt leave much time for blogs and my internet was down at the flat in Oxford for the past two days. Now that the summer term has started here in Oxfor I should be able to blog at least once a day so please check in and see what I am up to. I love hearing your comments as the time difference makes phone calss hard.

As stated in my note that I wrote on facebook Italy and Greece were an experance like no other I have had. I got to see some really amazing places and even made some new friends along the way. I took over 1000 photos so you should be able to get a good sence of what I saw one I have an hour or so to get them up.

I arived in Oxford on Monday and had the flt to myself for a few days as the other students did not arrive untill Wendsday. I have to say that the first few days reminded me much of being at Number Twelve Grimmauld's Place as the former occupents had left a few weeks before and they had left a number of fun goodies that should have been thrown away. Also, none of the linens had been cleanded or changed so for the first two nights I used the good old sleeping bag. I spent many hours battling the house and in the end I think I won as it no longer smelled like rotten fruit and most of the bugs had a meeting with their maker. It's a nice flat and it grows on me more and more each day.

This week has been an get to know Oxford week and I have to say that this town has a very magical feel to it. It is so amazing to be able to walk down the street to class and see the old building with their huge gothic towers and pass pubs with wonderful names such as the three goats heads, red lion inn, dead king pub, and much much more. I wish that all of you were with me to see such a place. I miss you all and I'll try to get my pictures up ASAP.

LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL
