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!


Love,
