english thoughts

i am in england, and it isn't raining...shock! i am quite disappointed in Jane Austen, she makes England out to be a rainy and gloomy country, but then, i guess there is an epic love story to interest you. sadly, i have no love story to write about and it is in fact sunny. well, i flew from America here and i now officially have jetlag. but i couldn't miss the sunshine so i trekked around Oxford for a bit and it's just like a fairytale. the universities resemble old castles and they're surrounded by lush gardens and perfect grass. me and my brother made grass angels and fell asleep in the botanical gardens. and then, rather fatefully, we decided to go punting along the river(bad idea). my brother was pretty good apart from going backwards for a bit, it was me who was a failure. when he passed me the pole for my turn, it was so heavy i slipped down the bank with it and almost fell in the river. yeah, i was not cut out for punting...it was fun though.
