A rollercoaster named Oxford

These past 36 hours have been a range of emotions and activities.  On Thursday night I went to a debate at the Oxford Union. It was absolutely incredible experience in and of itself. You go into a room and hear debating from an opposition and proposition of a proposal. In the case of Thursday's debate it was "This coalition believes we have strengthened the British University system by the increase of fees." There is name calling random yelling and pretty much everything we would consider unacceptable debate behavior. Imagine Joe Wilson at last years state of the union about every ten seconds. It was an amazing experience and a lot of fun and something you can never see in the US of A. However after that I had my first tutorial. It was quite informative but quite disappointing in all honesty. This had nothing to do with tutor but more of the lack of quality work that I created for her judgment. We spent an hour going through every syllable and it was a surreal feeling. My self-esteem took a beating but I learned an incredible amount and I know more about the creation of the BBC than I could ever imagine. Then on Friday night I had my first school entze (party) and it was wonderful. The theme was london underground so I went as King's Cross which was quite a hit. I had a blast and met a lot of great people. The rest of the weekend was fun but nothing worry of your time. That is all and now the week starts again. I've had my cider and off to bed. Goodnight everyone and a special shout out to Chris H. and Chris C.
