Captain’s Log: Stardate 25.6.06 (Ignore that other date up there)

Spaceship nearly ran over a bicyclist and then nearly hit same with the side door a she rode by slowly to yell. As I was not at the helm, I take no responsibility, but clearly, we need a new pilot before or next voyage. I, myself, arrived in Oxford Galaxy, a place with historic beauty around every corner. My quarters are respectable, although they do smell like mothballs. With the windows open it was a breezy 79 degrees at 6:00 pm. Nice. Cooler now. Local beings quite enthusiastic tonight because of something called “football”. Met the other student in my tutorial, Tim. He then ran off to watch football. Met Silvia, from some place that sounds like Montana but that used to be part to Romania. She and I explored the town, found two drug stores and shopped for necessaries, and then returned to unpack. Brought my new travel alarm clock to life, with thermometer. Later we went for a walk and had Indian food at a place we will most likely not return to, but it was decent. Food is very expensive here. Ug. Tomorrow we must find grocery stores to stock our little fridges with easy meals that require no heat to prepare. Went for another walk to the other end of the campuses. Feet quite tired, but I am pretty sure I burned off at least some of my calories. Talked to some ducks. Said hi to the deer in the deer park. Must photograph EVERYTHING while I am here. Soooooo beautiful. And now I must read more of my scary book so that I can have weird dreams in my new bed with my wussy pillow. I heart scary books. More tomorrow when the internet is actually working. That’s right. This is just a word file because I couldn’t wait to write to you until then.
