A little tour... maybe some sightseeing?

I went for a nice walk today around the
University Parks. It was absolutely gorgeous. And the ducks were huge.
Were they swans? One can never know these things.

The Marsh

I also found a bridge... I went over it and found another path reaching into somewhere else... a mysterious place I had never been. I turned around.

I have a graveyard just south of the old hospital I live in.

This is the hotel right next door to me. It is called the old parsonage hotel. This is the dining area outside. I want to go there but I hear you can't unless you have a boatload of money.
I went to Christchurch college today. I originally went there for a colloqium on Heidegger and philosophy of religion... I got a little bored partway through so I left and went to the chapel. They were talking about living religion instead of putting it in various intellectual boxes. I heard the organ from the chapel calling me and I was out the door the next break. I really am learning a lot here.


Very wonderful indeed. The strange thing about going to a place like Christchurch or many places in Oxford that say 'no visitors beyond this point please. You know what that means! It is basically pointing out the fact that I am very special. 'Chelsea, please continue forward, as you have key and a student body card.' Oh it is very affirming.
Anyways, here is the church, and here is a tile of John Locke. I am going to send this to my philosophy professor Uzgalis, because he is definately a locke scholar, and he will like it.
Alright Harry Potter fans. Here it is.... the dining hall at Christchurch. Being set up for dinner for the witches.
A few general streets as I was walking home. This is basically what everything looks like here. Pretty boring really. I could really use a minimall or a Costco right now. Ooh or a walmart that just took over the local drive-in.
I want a coffee. I think I will go get one.
So anyways, things are going quite well for me here at Oxford.
