Wow, it's hard to believe that I have now been home for almost a week and a half. The last week or so in England was so busy that I didn't have time to update and now, well I'm just missing it. In this entry I'll catch everyone up on my final couple of days in Oxford. Monday was really my last day to finish papers, but after a couple hours of typing I was ready to get out of the house. I had been sitting in the dining room in the same spot typing, it seemed...

Yesterday we visited Hampton Court Palace! The traffic was awful getting there, so we got there over a hour late. However, we still had time to see some of the palace and the grounds. It was huge, so there was absolutely no way we could see everything in a couple of hours. For me the most fascinating part was the outside of the palace and the gardens. The flowers, as you can see from some of my pictures, were beautiful. Me and Elise, another girl from the p...
