Have now been in Oxford about thirty hours. Already been set first essay, and it's haaaaard. Last night the guy in the room next door got so pissed that he passed out with his door locked and his cd player going full volume. Walls here are paper thin. Finally managed to get him to wake up and turn it off at around three am. By that stage was beginning to wonder if he'd DIED with his door locked and his cd player on full volume. And there's only one other girl in my English set.
Other than that, having a great time. My room is freeeeeezing cold but has a view of the college building and the river. And I get to watch the Enland-Turkey game on widescreen TV with free booze and popcorn.

So jealous about the England game. My residential college doesn't even have cable! As I've probably ranted about thousands of times on lj :)

YOur English classes are the reversal of what happens in New Zealand where about 90 % of the class is female. And my suspicions of Oxford students being partiers have been confirmed. I don't know how anyone can stay out so late yet still pass their courses. I need five hours of sleep minimum.

Tell me about it. Five hours sleep minimum, but preferably more than that.
I don't actually think it's ALL Oxford students as such who are partiers, just Magdalan students, and specifically the people living in my hall, which is a massive sixties built monostrosity with the thinest walls you've ever seen. But hey, what the hell, it's Fresher's week, and at least it was decent rock music rather than god-awful pop or garage, which is vaguely encouraging. The rules say no music in rooms after 11.00, and I think the Deans will make us stick to it from next week. And if not, there're always ear plugs ;)
