Yesterday, Laura and I snuck into New College without having our ID's yet! We sort of just acted like students and convinced the custodian that we owned the place. We will be studying at New College for this Michaelmas Term (eight weeks starting on Oct. 7) and we were very anxious to see our new home. Contrary to popular belief, New College was not very "new". It was established in 1379.

The inner wall around New College. These places were heavily fortified! But not strong enough for us :)

 

 

 Evidently, there's Mayan temple in the middle of the New College gardens.

 

One does not simply walk into the black gate of New College. Unless your name is Frank or Laura.

The man himself. Dr. Jenkins made it all the way out to the UK just to take us out to dinner in Oxford. What a guy!

 



Some blurry pictures at The Perch after a victorious bike ride to the magical Wytham Woods!

The sun peaked out when we were passing the Bodleian Library.

Monica and I played Frisbee near Christ Church.

 

Mongoose finally founded her beer company.
