I made it!

I finally made it to Oxford after many trains, underground tunnels and buses. It is good to hear people speaking English again. On the train ride from Paris I was seated next to a bald Hungarian man with an enormous white beard. He was really nice and we tried to talk, but my Hungarian is rusty. He kept asking "Is London bella?" After lots of sign language and topic changes, I managed to communicate that he would need to change his Euros to pounds and he was grateful. Very nice guy.

My room here at Oxford is exactly like a room in Harry Potter....so exciting! My window overlooks a graveyard though. I originally thought I was next to a resident advisor because there is a huge bag of condoms on the door next to mine, but that room is apparently called the JCR and it is where we have all of our meetings. Jessica Kaplan's room is VERY CREEPY. It used to be the "sick room" so it has a hallway and creepy bathtub room. The whole place makes the hair on your neck stand up....looks like I got lucky.

Tonight we are having a meeting in the JCR and then a big group dinner in the dining hall. The campus is really old and beautiful. The area seems nice too and one of my favorite British eating places, Pret a Manger, is right around the corner. Tomorrow we have auditions, so I better go practice!
