One thing I hate about England is the unpredictability of the weather. I just got back to my room, soaking wet because I was stupid enough not to bring my umbrella when it was clear that the skies were gray on my way out this morning. But then it went from cloudy to sunny, then just pouring throughout the day. This was in contrast to our second day when we got great weather to visit The Orchard, where Watson (DNA), Rutherford (atom split), Turing (computer), even Prince Charles have sat to enjoy some tea.
We're part of St. Catherine's College (sort of like a "house" from Harry Potter) and got to tour the halls, libraries and classrooms. The pictures are from the common area for students, the lawn where we had some champagne and the dining hall where we had our first formal dinner.
It finally kicked in, I think to most of us here that school's on. I have to finish a book by Wednesday, others, a 20 minute presentation tomorrow. I can't say I'm complaining especially when I'm more excited about our trips in the days to come. We will have an excursion to the Globe Theater this Thursday and a group of us have already booked a hostel, a 100 meters away from King's Cross in London, until Sunday.
