My first post from Oxford! Even though I've been here for a couple of days already. I arrived with my parents last Thursday, and spent the first two nights at the hotel. We had such an exhausting journey, that we didn't really do anything but eat and sleep the first day. The day after, we went to see Tim and the house, and bought some stuff for the room. Which turned out the be a lot more than we expected. For one, Tim forgot the mention that we had to bring our own duvet. So we basically run around for groceries and utilities for the entire day. When my parents dropped me on Saturday for the final time it was a little emotional. Even though it's for just 6 months, it is my (and their) first time away from home. But so far I can say I'm not really homesick, as the house is really nice (although the kitchen could do with a proper cleaning) and Tim seems nice too, if maybe a little shy. I am a nervous about tomorrow though, and starting at the lab seems really scary now. But so far so good, and of course I'll keep you updated!
With love, Willemijn
