(Back dating slightly -time to get back on track!)
Well, well, well. Oxford seems to be one of the most beautiful university towns I have ever seen, with it's historic buildings, and stunning grounds. But really, I could never work so hard or be so well off to ever get into a place as prestige as Oxford! Beautiful, but a bit too toffee-nosed for me!
It was a lazy Saturday, with a walking tour led by Tom and Nathan, two activity leaders. Their banter, and the funny little facts about Oxford Nathan would chip in for my benefit more than anything really made the day lovely. It wasn't raining, and the air was warm enough for me to walk around in a long sleeved top, and not be rugged up!
We walked around buildings that have been used in so many movies, the most well know for the younger generation is the use of it in Harry Potter! People were walking around holding white owls, Hedwig replicas, and pointing out the many spots they thought they knew. It was £13 or so to get into different parts of the Hogwarts sections of the university, so we skipped that and went to the movies.
'Dinner with Schmucks' - if you value your mental health, or you have a high opinion of Steve Carell, I wouldn't recommend this film. The amount of times Tom left the theater to go grump at the staff was quite often, and he had to climb across me to get out. The movie was NOT good! And the cinema we were at was equally NOT good, with the sound and screen cutting out, and the film dropping down so half the image was missing... we definitely wasted 2 hours there!
The afternoon continued with laziness, and we finally went back to the coach with the students. Another hour later and back at Bridges hall for a dismal dinner, and a rainy night with splodgy mud between dinner and bed. If only sleep was easy then.
