Rain? Yes it does that here...loads and loads!

Today was our first day in Oxford!!! We had to make it to the train in Charlbury for just after 10am...I know, posh life, eh? haha. Everyone made it - even Matt and Ben who live right by it (aren't the closest ones always last??) and Phoebe and I - me who set my alarm for pm and Phoebe who ignored hers:) What a team! So we took the train into Oxford where we were met by Lynn who will be teaching us one of our courses - she's just great! and we procedeeded to do a brisk walk though most of Oxford to make it to our appointment at the Bodleian Library on time. Now my spatial ability sucks so this fast pace didn't help me pay attention to where I was! and did I mention, it was RAINING? Try not to fall of your chair in surprise! Yes rain, all day. But it wasn't cold.
So. We made it to the library - which if you didn't know, is world famous and has more books than probably the population of the UK. The granting of library cards is a pretty official ceremony, we even had to swear an oath...you can imagine - I will not deface, blah, blah, blah or set fire or flame to the premisis, blah blah blah;) and then I proceeded to sit on the throne in the Convocation Room where we were ( the room housed Parliament during the Plague, I think) when an alarm went off. Yea, oops. Actually, it was the fire alarm! pheewwww.
After that scare, we walked and walked and walked until we found Regent's Park College where we will be attending. And we had lunch, which is quite the affair every day. We met some fellow students and this whole Oxford thing seems it will be loads of fun!
Then we walked and walked and walked so more - we had a thrilling session on using the Bodleian Library (kidding, soo dull, but necessary) and then Lynn left us to do some shopping or whatever before we caught the train back to Charlbury.
When we got back, we went for dinner at Mad's which was great! Our whole group, organizers included, is just a hoot!
So that was another super day! The rain has stopped, for now, and it's a beautiful night! Makes me want to go for a walk and I miss all my walking buddies! ;p
Now, first day of classes tomorrow! The real work had to start sometime;)
