Oxford and School - Rachel Van Deventer

On Saturday I went to Oxford and took a tour of the college and town. I really enjoyed learning about the history and the amazing programs. I will surely be applying for the Rhode's scholarship that gives Americans full rides to Oxford. I am keeping my options open for grad school!

I was able to tour a free art museum and a free science museum, and a free medical museum. The Science museum had a chalk board that had Einstein's writing on it which was pretty cool. The medical museum discussed how penicillin and a vaccine for malaria were created at Oxford. Pretty cool. I ate lunch at a pub "The Eagle and Child". The pub was known for being the meeting spot for the Inklings, including C.S. Lewis. I ate a chicken and mushroom pie that was excellent and much different from American pot pies.

This week I have been struggling through my statistics course. I have a fairly bad cold and have been sniffling for a few days. I am going to try to tough it out! I have a statistics test tomorrow but then I am done for the weekend! I cannot wait to see what adventures I have this weekend.
