So, lets talk

So I didn't write much about my oxford trip only the fact that I wish I did the exchange with oxford. lol. But I am a proud owner of an oxford sweatshirt which has the british flag on it. WOOT WOOT. lmao.

So, waiting for the bus was freezing cold. Yes, I got there super early because I was scared I was going to the wrong place again. lol. I know I should just relax and not worry. Of course, the bus was late coming over to get us. We were all freezing! I wore my thicker sweatshirt but that did nothing for me! I am going to have to start wearing the thicker jacket soon! oh dear.

The bus ride was long and cool. Saw a field of horses grazing and sheep! White sheep, Black sheep, and Brown sheep! It was awesome. :D There isn't much building between places. Just field which is amazing!

Got to Oxford! Had the fastest tour ever! One hour! lol. The guide had another tour at 1pm. So we saw Christchurch College, Radcliffe Camera, Bodleian Library, and the cover market! Christchurch College is the best college ever! The students live the most beautiful area! The meadows in the front area with cows grazing on the field! The Bodleian Library is completely shocking from the outside! I didn't see the inside but I wanted too! i wanted to see where the library where harry potter was and the exam room where they had the hospital and where they learned to dance for harry potter! When i got with Virg and Mom! The Radcliffe Camera is amazing. I have photographs. It was like the perfect day too take photographs. I need a wide angle lens! lmao. The cover was nice! I got a pasty and cookies from Ben's Cookies. They had Jiff for sale there but it cost 5 pounds 50 pence. BOO! I didn't get any so i am waiting for shan shan to send me some peanut butter!! The had an awesome bakery there. :D I will try to upload the photographs there.

So there is more to write about but I am getting tired and talking to mom and kelly. :D So I am going to head to bed. Sleepy! But I will probably watch a movie.

love you all!!!

EDIT:
so I will finish it right now because I am so slacking with this!

The bakery was awesome. They were making stuff in the window so you could see them work. There was a guy on a tightrope playing a violin. AMAZING. He didn't fall i would have fallen on my butt in like two seconds. lmao. but free health care so i guess he didn't have to worry too much.

across the street from the entrance area to the meadow near the christchurch college was the Alice's Shop where Alice used to get her candy. It is a small shop with lots of tourist in there. I got the book Alice in Wonderland! it look so classic it is amazing. There was a book store near there which had rare books. So one of the like the first couple edition of Lord of the Rings! IT was breathtaking!! I know virg would have gone crazy in there! it was super cute store. So many scholars and students were there and I felt dumb. lmao. Look at me, I don't have the grades to get into Oxford! I wish I could. I know they would be like F NO! lmao. but I am going to try to for my master and if they accept me I will die. lol.

After the tour of christchurch school we headed to the bus and walked around every. Saw this awesome small church and graveyard. Some of the grave stones made me cry. They were so sweet. I have some photographs of the outside with my holga.

Went onto the bus and get to go this village where they had lots of stores and stuff but we all headed to the cafe to get some food and hot chocolate. Had some good hot wrap and hot chocolate. lol. It was nice warm and toasty. We hung out there for about a hour then headed to the bus which was an hour bus ride back to Hatfield. LONGEST BUS RIDE EVER! Got home and sped to the dorm. FREEZING.

Got back and uploaded the photographs and video chatted with lanesa then talked to my mom! i miss her so much!

Now, my eyes burn and I think I should get ready for bed.

Today was good. Woke up early even though I wanted to sleep in, damn you body. Did my wash, cleaned my bathroom, upload the stop motion video, went to the lrc to print out my graduation form, and met up with faye and whitney to get things planned for our trip! We are going to London december 19th to the 21st and visiting everywhere!! So awesome. :D Then hopefully in January Whitney and I are going from Scotland to Hatfield for a week. We are going to make our way down England! That is going to be awesome!!! ;D I am going to do the host program about a couple of times here! Just living with a family for a couple of days here in UK or Ireland. I want to go to Ireland and stay at a farm!!! But I don't know. I am going to try to go to the meeting on Wednesday for that.

So good night. sweet dreams. have an awesome rest of the day in the states. miss you all. wish you all were here with me. lol

Love,
Marianna
