is this our house?

Our first night, after going exploring around the city, we all had to stop and look twice at our house to identify that we lived there. since then, however, we have gotten pretty settled. i went to my first pub last night, which was far less scary than i ever thought it would be. today i have already written one paper, and in five minutes i'm about to go write another one. i have two to write tomorrow, also. classes start monday, but these are impromptus for each class that will be graded and show our tutors our abilities in each class. intimidating much? i also got my syllabuses this morning, and i'm overwhelmed. but i'm really excited about it. i'm kind of looking forward to the hard work. there is one other guy doing a spanish tutorial at oxford, so we may go to spain sometime. maybe. i don't know how i'm going to survive this semester in the second most expensive city in the UK. i'm so budgeted, though. i wonder about the people pounding beer, though.
