The Union Bar

Finding a place to study in a college town shouldn't be hard. And having a quiet apartment is a nice backup. But because I'm so easily distracted--oh wait let me post a picture.

Studying at the Student Union bar

Getting distracted is easy in the busy town that Oxford is. Today however I took my books over to the Student Union and managed to get some great studying done! 

The Union has a library, lounge space, a bar, and every Thursday hosts formal debates. Today was the first time I took use of the place. On a Sunday there was hardly anyone else there. It was just Cam, Britney, and me in the bar. I'm used to Hendrix where Sundays mean "study ass off cause you didn't at all for the last two days." 

The Union also hosts other events (not just debates). More to come later this month about that. Oktoberfest is in two weeks! And then Halloween, which yes, is celebrated here. I don't think "trick-or-treating" is a thing, but I do think the "spookiness" of the holiday is celebrated. We are planning to go on a ghost tour of the city. I also want to find a pumpkin to carve. Then I'll light it up at night in my window and give my neighbors something to wonder about. "Dear, come to the window. There's a glowing gourd across the way giving me the most evil grin." MUAHAHA!
