A few of my classmates outside Wycliffe Hall- home sweet home! For our OCCA classes, we walk down the road about five minutes to the RZIM offices.
Posing with a few of my fellow American classmates- we felt like school kids with our first stack of books, all tied with a ribbon!
Orientation today was mostly welcomes and many introductions. We laughed a lot. The morning really set a wonderfully honest and welcoming tone for our OCCA community.
After me and another guy (who turns out to be a pro surfer, who knew?) both claimed our favorite "food" was coffee during introductions, my new friend Adora informed me that it is International Coffee Day and that she is a coffee lover as well... so needless to say we found the closest coffee shop and celebrated!
We also had a social outing to end our introduction morning- we went punting on the River Cherwell. It was a sunny day- absolutely perfect for being on the water. I loved it and plan to go more- all the better, since its apparently a quintessentially Oxford pastime. But the pics of that will have to wait.
I have to go to bed and continue orientations tomorrow...
