Yesterday was another annual regular day of nightmare. I had to carry 60kg luggage by myself all the way from Durham to Oxford. But luckily my housemate Cate’s dad gave me a ride to the station and the train was on time, at least. When it comes to this time of the year, moving from a place to another is always a hard time!
Anyway, I am in Oxford now. I am staying in my previous landlord’s house. I lived with her family three years ago and luckily they have a room want to rent in summer, so I pick it. I know her family very well and they treat me like one of their families too. And my little friend (brother) Jiawei now had grown to a little guy now. We are going to have fun this summer!
It’s very hot here. The temperature today reached 30C according to the radio. It’s warm in Durham, but here is HOT. I stayed in the house all day just unpacking and watching TV. This was the first time in England I felt too hot to go outside. But even though it’s a bit too hot, weather like this will not last for long in England, got to enjoy it as much as I can.
Summer plan
About my summer plan, I will be staying in Oxford for most of the time. Try to get some work and earn some money for travelling. If I got enough then will go backpacking around Europe. But first of all, work! Also, need to start doing my reading for dissertation, as well as keeping my Japanese for next year.

Don’t forget to chercher my “red beans”!!!
Come to Japan! You can revise Japanese AND do dissertation research (your doing Japanese economy right?)
where you will stay for your last term study? Durham or Oxford?
To Valen:
I will try my best, but it seems hard to find.
To Megan:
I wrote a post about travelling to Japan, you might be interested to have a look. Well, let you know when you are in Japan, show me some photos when you come to Durham. Hope you have a good time there.
To Jassic:
Still back to Durham. Oxford just for holiday. Because I lived here before I went to Durham, I have some friends here. That’s why I’ve got a place to stay. Also, there are more job opportunities in Oxford than Durham.
