first day of classes..

so today we had our first day of classes.. it was humanities, it was an hour and a half but we meet every day... not too bad cause all of our other classes only meet once a week... but since humanities is a 6 hr block we have to meet everyday. the teachers here are fabulous.. all of my classes are so interesting and today we were talking about the history of the anglican church and stuff which was crazy cause i went to one yesterday for the first time and could relate to a lot of the stuff they were saying and traditions that are upheld. nuts. anyways we talked about when queen mary, and when she killed those priests in the middle of town because they werent catholic.. and the first day when we went into town and every day since we pass the statue dedicated to those priests. because it happened right here in oxford. it was pretty insane. usually history is my worst and least favorite class but this semester its like a huge story and i get to see where everything happens so i feel like im going to like it a lot better..

after classes we took a nap and hung out and stuff then after we went and walked to the city center to get school supplies and stuff. thennnn we went to the eagle and child pub.. its a place where c.s. lewis and j.r.r. tolken used to hang out and write.. its really famous so it was fun to go in and see everything.. the food wasnt too bad either
