Tuesday, July 10th
My psychology class went on our first field trip. I wish all of school was like this with 2 days of classes and 2 field trips per week! We went to downtown Oxford by train, which was about an hour and fifteen minutes both ways. We went to the Bodleian Library which is very historic and important around here. Also, I got to be in some of the rooms that the Harry Potter movies were filmed in! That was pretty awesome, even though I'm not much of a HP fan. After this, we had a very long, boring lecture from a man who talked in circles and knew a whole lot about a little bit of nothing basically. This part of the field trip sucked, but it got better. After this, my professor arranged for us to go on a scavenger hunt around the city. I didn't like the idea of this at first, but it ended up being a lot more fun than what I had in mind. Me and my group (we call ourselves "Team Default" because we're the only ones who didn't cry like little babies when we couldn't be in a group with people we don't know) ventured all around Oxford. We ended up finding all kinds of awesome pictures and landscapes around the area. We also climbed to the top of St. Mary's Cathedral where the views were breathtaking. Everything up there looked like it should have been on a postcard! We had an early morning starting of about 7:30am and didn't get back till right at 7:30pm. After that, I ate dinner which was rice and meatballs... I have no idea where they thought to put those together... but then I went to Sainsbury's market and bought food for my room. Cafeteria food is less than delicious! Then I finally got some sleep for a change!
