A Journey of a Thousand Miles...

1/9/2014

I stare at the TV without really even registering what I'm watching. Sheldon Cooper rants on about how uncooked tapioca pudding can kill you. A funny commercial featuring a Thanksgiving Day turkey being thrown across a table.

It's 2300, the night before one of the most exciting journeys of my life begins. A semester studying "Comparative Education" and the
"Sociology of Education" at Oxford University: such a fantastic opportunity. The pressure is on to ensure I make the most of it.

Throughout my experience, I will keep a journal detailing my exploits at Oxford and across England. Please feel free to check back often as I will take care to upload pictures and anecdotes from my travels. I should be able to update from my phone, but we'll see if that will actually work!

I'm looking forward to the adventure, but I'm going to miss my friends and family back here in good old Mendham, New Jersey, and my classmates and company-mates in Charleston, South Carolina. I can't wait, however, to see my friends and family in England again (for the first time in almost two years) and make even more friends.

I made it through knob year: I can make it through anything. Bring it on!

Sincerely,
James McManus
