Things I Have Learned

Things that I have learned while in Oxford so far:

1. You will get wet.
2. The English like their food hot and solid. Their food means business.
3. Walking. There is SO MUCH walking.
4. It is impossible to dress for the weather. You will be either too hot or sopping wet, and you just have to accept that.
5. Who knew that so many pairs of shoes cannot handle a three mile walk without making you wish you didn't have feet?
6. Have I mentioned the walking and the rain?
7. Beer is a way of life. You are supposed to drink it with lunch, dinner, before bed, and after church with everyone else from church.
8. It is a forty minute walk to school and it rains all the time. A bus pass will be absolutely necessary.
9. If you have an American accent you are either oafish and loud, or cute and adorable. Usually, it is the former.
10. California is ugly.
11. The English are witty.
12. We may both be speaking English, but it a totally different language.
