Autumn in Oxford

Hello to one and all,

It is Autumn in Oxford - I call it Fall, but apparently that is not the "British" way - so its Autumn. I don't think anyone is actually reading my post anyway, but to all who are, koodos to you and HAPPY EARLY HALLOWEEN!

We have decorated the flat quite nicely for Halloween, which they don't really do here actually. However, November 5th is like a great holiday here apparently...you know the film, V for Vendetta where Natalie Portman goes all "cracked out Britney Spears" and falls in love with the masked dude. There are fireworks here and bonfires - very excited.

Leaves are everywhere and it feels very spooky at night with the castles and things - really a perfect place to spend the holiday.

I've been meeting a lot of people, which is nice and I've joined a variety of clubs, including the Law Society which basically consists of mad hot guys getting drunk as all get out. I've also joined the orchestra, which might be good and am loving Chapel. Its this beautiful stained glass stone church in college..funny story, the guy who made the stained glass windows had to do the story of Jonah and the Whale. However, it was the 1600's and he'd never seen a whale, so he kinda used his imagination and its the FREAKIEST thing you've ever seen! The whale had flippers and teeth...it's the funniest thing ever.

My tutorials have been going well, although my first water conflict one was total rubbish. Grilled about my academic merit in a windowless concrete room. Basically Mexican holding cell style.

Spent my day in the gardens of Wadham feeling like Elizabeth Bennett. I discovered this little stone alcove with flowers and wrote some prose - its was lovely.

Anyway, I think I am off to meet some people at the pub. Everyone come and visit. Miss you all. Sorry, this was like the most boring blog ever. I feel pity for you all.

CHEERS!
