Photos of Oxford

The freshman dorm building.

Starbucks is taking over the world!

The "Oxford County Courthouse."

My Thought Process




“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?”
-Alice








Interconnected


I always think through stuff and then mess it all up
I always am thinking what others are thinking of me and its never good

I am a huge dreamer
I guess its what keeps me going
or else life would be boring

I want to HELP our environment (because there is no hope to SAVE it now)

I want to travel the world ... 5 more continents to go

I know a lot off things you don’t know .. and vice versa
so educate me

I am worried about my future and the worlds

“I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!”
-Alice

6 Days to Go!



Apart from being nervous to leave (and fly to a different continent by myself!) I am looking forward to going. I have read a lot about Oxford, so here is some background (but interesting!) information:

-Oxbridge was originally a fictional composite of the University of Oxford and the University of
Cambridge in England, and the term is now used to refer to them collectively.

-They (Oxford and Cambridge) are the two oldest universities in England. Both were founded more than 750 years ago.

-The University of Oxford has 35 independent Colleges and Halls.

-Their motto, Dominus Illuminatio Mea, translates to "The Lord is my Light."


-The date of establishment is unknown, but what is known is that teaching at the University has existed since 1096. (Exactly 30 years after the Battle of Hastings, 119 years before the establishment of the Magna Carta. Poor Prince John)


Well, that’s it for now!
