The Last Few Days in Oxford by John Thomas

July 25, 2011

So the last few days of the trip have dawned upon us, the students.  Thanks to the lack of forethought amongst us, no one did any work on the three major assignments on the weekend before the Monday everything was due.  So most people on the trip spent all three days of this weekend writing two essays and a 5 min presentation. 

Other than that, Oxford has been great.  It’s one of the oldest towns in England.  Apparently it was founded somewhere between the years 1000-1100.  It was originally called oxen-fjord because it’s where the oxen would cross the fjord… it’s what our tour guide told us.  Other than all that, the trip is over in a few days and I have to say bye to everyone.  It’s a sad reality that none one wants to admit.  Final exam tomorrow!
