From Uxbridge Road to Oxbridge Robe: My Freshers Blog

Given the number of Freshers Blogs that have already sprouted up recently, I thought that I should add my own to the mix. I desperately wanted to call it Donning the Studfusc but I didn't want to be sued for plagiarism or suchlike by medbh. :tongue:

Anyway, I'll update it every day until I leave and then hopefully anything between once a day (unlikely, in all fairness) and once a week. I'm reading English Language and Literature at St. Edmund Hall, Oxford. I'll post my blog updates here for anyone interested.

Incidentally, I was considering doing a Question and Answer blog each fortnight or something for those applying/those that just have a burning query regarding life at Oxford/university/studying English. If so then just PM me the question and if there are enough to make a post then I'll do the aforementioned as regularly as possible. :smile:

I hope you enjoy: here's today's post, and you can find yesterday's if you so wish. :smile:

I'm sorely tempted to, but I like the current title. Perhaps a colon is needed... :holmes:

Guys, I regret to inform you that there will be no Freshers blog tonight, tomorrow or Wednesday due to me being away on my running camp. Of course, I shall post a detailed update on Thursday night. :smile:

My apologies.
