technical details

so, i feel like a need to update a bit more about what my life is like here and what's been happening as of late. now that i have an alarm clock, i actually wake up at decent times of the day. for my first few days here i was basically just a huge "lay-in" kind of guy. since the last update, i have been really busy with the orientation to my course. the faculty are wicked- super casual, not into oxford bullshit and doing really interesting research. my particular supervisor has the thickest and most wonderful scottish accent and must be, at the oldest, 35.

in the evenings, i've basically been spreading myself across oxford pubs. we've also had "freshers" events in out mcr and so i've met lots of great people at my college. i have a "massive lad", as he would say, as a corridor mate named thom and he's from britain (massive lad means he's wicked) and he and i hang out quite a bit. we went out as an mcr to an italian place two nights ago and then went to a dance bar and people were actually impressed by my skills :)

most of my course has been interesting except for my "guide to the internet/intranet" which was really just a basic instruction on google searching- however, in the most monotone and uninteresting way... i left early :)

ciao for now ...
