A Typical Street in OxfordThis Guy is a Sentinel that Separates the Scholars from the Regular Folks (there are 13 more like him)
We went on a walking tour of Oxford today. Kathryn Bevis, who has been a student here for like 10 years, is some kind of administrator for our group. She took us around and told us about all the different schools and monuments in town. There was a building that was a college founded in like 1200 or something. There is a place in the middle of one of the streets where some protestants were burned at the stake for heresy.
She showed us the building where all the Oxford students take their exams. They have to wear a special uniform. Then their grades are posted on boards in front of the schools. Most of us were glad that our grades weren't posted in public. It's a tradition to congratulate those in uniform who look happy. Those that don't look happy haven't taken their exams yet, I guess.
Apparently they found out who the bombers in London were. Dan said that a mother of one of the men had called the police because he had been missing for days. They put the pieces together and it turns out they were suicide bombings. They were all born and raised in the United Kingdom.
