More of Oxford
Aug. 17th, 2004 11:24 amHmm...If I work like nothing doing and am really smart, I could be a Rhodes scholar and study in Oxford for grad school. Hmm.
More of the wanderings around the city--I found Jordan College! It's an art and poster shop. In the same complex as Exeter. Also I found the canals and a few boats, but no gyptians.
We moved to the hostel--it's swank and lovely--and I have black and white film in my camera and things are happy. Oxford is a funny city...it's the same old-and-new juxtaposition as a lot of European and English cities, but made a lot weirder by the presence of the old, old colleges. Probably old colleges make everything weird.
Off to see if I can watch a bit of cross-country...or Olympics of some kind. And then to explore the Natural History Museum, maybe, or do some writing, or poke around parts of the city I haven't seen (there actually are some still).
Eight days till I get home. And get to see the play and everyone I've missed!
