Oxford!

So I have spent a couple days here and it has been a blast.

Here is a picture of the house I'm staying at.

And here is the other house.

The house I am in has a smaller group. It's nice though to be in a quieter house but also a lot of the fun things happen at house 9 because they have a commons room with a television and games and such. They're both really cool! I think I heard that they date back to the 1870s. Our houses are about a 20 minute walk from the centre of town.

So today the first episode of series 7 started. It was really good and it was also cool to watch it on time in the UK.  This series (by the way they say series instead of season in the UK so that's a fun fact) started out completely different than what I was expecting.  I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series to see what all happens because it should be very, very interesting.  We also watched a game show called Secret Fortune, probably mostly because it is what came on after Doctor Who.  It was pretty intense and really intriguing.  I think it's really cool to watch television in different places.  Even in different countries with languages I don't understand I really enjoy watching local television.

Fun Fact: I learned that Jumping Jacks are called Star Jumps in the UK.

Well that's all I can think to say for now. Bye!
