Step one
I just got my passport for my trip so the preparations are well underway for my trip. My picture looks horrible of course, but I am told it is like this for everyone, a requirement almost. I have to raise some additional funds for things the grants and scholarships didn’t cover. It was suggested I build a website for fundraising but I am adding a link on here for donations. I keep meeting people from the UK and I flood them with questions regarding the differences in our countries and societies. They are all very gracious and most helpful. “Be prepared to drink a lot of tea” and “Carry an umbrella” have been the repeating themes so far. One guy tried to joke that the “It rains all the time” rumor is just a myth but his laughing out loud while he was trying to hand me that line of crap was a dead giveaway. I used near Seattle so it is all good. I am fully prepared to acclimate to that kind of weather. I know all about layering your clothes and wearing things with hoods. Besides, I’m a firm believer in dancing in the rain. It cleanses the soul.

I would say that is does rain a lot more than avaerage in Oxford, although it has been warm for the last week or two. I would be prepared to drink a lot of beer and coffee rather than tea, and there are lot os places to find both in Oxford! And in case it doesn't register it is @philhawley from Twitter, good luck with the studying!
