Cambridge

I was kind of expecting Cambridge to be a smaller town… more like Davis. Its actually quite large and a lot of it is modern. The town around the train station is actually quite modern and I was wondered if the college would be anything like I had imagined it. The map we found made it seem like our dorms were in walking distance, so Hannah, Nyssa (who we found at the train station and is in our program), and I began to haul all our our bags. Cambridge is really really crowded on weekends. There were hordes of people. They would have overwhelmed the Huns, had they been invading. So our walk was more like a swim upstream in a raging river while dragging 50 lb weights behind us and fending off a swarm of bees.
However, I would argue that the walk was totally worth it. Cambridge is BEAUTIFUL. Once we actually got to the college, the town transformed into a gorgeous, old, beautifully gardened, amazing college. I am sooo ENVIOUS. I WANT TO COME HERE. I was busy dragging stuff with me while I saw all this, so excuse me if I don't have any pictures at the moment, but I am seriously going to take some ASAP because you all need to see how fantastic this place is. I'm so lucky!!! yay! To stave you off so that you don't go insane with jealousy at my description with no pictures to look at, I'm going to throw some images of our room at you guys. It's very nice. I think that its supposed to be for one person, but they've converted it into a two person space, probably to pack more people in during the summer.

I've been having lots of problems with pictures, but hopefully I'll be able to circumvent them now. Arg @ weird trouble.
