We've only just met, but it's official: I'm in love with Oxford. Sometimes you just know right away. I mean, it has everything going for it... it's beautiful, quirky, cozy, lively, full of brilliant/interesting people, you can walk across town, and it only takes an hour and as little as £4 to get to London. That's no worse than travelling within London! They even have weekly West Coast Swing dances, which is more than I can say for The Big Smoke.
Also, the locals manage to make snow seem fun:
And when your extremities can't handle the cold a second longer, there is always a neat little pub with a fireplace you can dash into... or a swanky tea house, serving some of the finest coffee in England.
I really think I may have just found my niche. I'm looking at PGCE programs for September, and the program at Oxford Brookes University just shot right to the top of my list.
