I have been accepted to Oxford University to read for an MSc in Global Governance and Diplomacy. The program will start on October 9th, and will last for one year. When I was a child, I often thought of England as I played knights and have always harbored a fondness for the University of Oxford. It was applying for the Rhodes Scholarship that convinced me I would truly be a good fit for the university. And so I have applied and have been accepted. What a dream come true.

Since being accepted, there have been many steps to accomplish: graduating with a 3.8 GPA, graduating with the degrees and majors I told the school about, proving I can pay for a year in Britain, etc. Most recently, I have been notified that I was given housing! So, I mailed my signed copy of the contract to Nicky today.

The purpose of this blog is to document my time while studying at Oxford (thus the name :-D). I hope to be able to write about the people I meet, the experiences that continue to form me, and MOST importantly, my classes. I really love to talk about classes and coursework and the content. So, we shall see what happens as the year progresses. Perhaps the blog will become something totally different (a ranting corner?). I hope it is fun!!!!
