I made it to Oxford! There weren't any major flight delays or problems, I caught the correct bus, I had the right addresses, and I made it to the house in plenty of time. I met my housemates (6 girls, 1 boy - sorry, Charlie) and I'm writing this blog post from my fourth floor room (we nicknamed this floor The Tower) while drinking earl grey tea. It's only been about 38 hours since I got to the city, but I've fallen in love with it already. We haven't started tutorials yet, but I'm glad, as I get to spend hours walking/bus riding and learning this amazing city.

Imagine someone with a bad knee injury. They can barely drag their leg along behind them, and yet they refuse to use crutches or even wrap their knee. It's obvious to anyone and everyone watching that the injury is getting worse day by day, since it has no time to rest - ever - but the injured person refuses to give into using crutches. Maybe they believe it would make no difference, or maybe they are worried people would start to notice their injury. Anybody would think someone who did that was stupid...
