How strange it is to be back in the English-speaking world! The past five weeks on the continent have been a whirlwind of fun. I’ve experienced so much new life in different languages, meals, and sights! We have such little time left abroad and I cannot help but feel that I am ready to [...]
All good things must come to an end, and today marks my last day of living in Oxford. I cannot believe I have been here for six weeks; it is the ultimate paradox of time, for it feels like I just got here yesterday and at the same time feels like I have been [...]
As my stay in Oxford comes to a close, I am left thinking about the locations I will miss the most, places I have filled with many happy memories in these six weeks. One such location is The Eagle and Child, a famous pub of Oxford. It goes without saying that [...]
