Mr Phillips

I was happy when I woke up because it wasn't as early as I usually had to which was a good start to the day. I then put my hair up in a really awesome milkmaid braid up-do which was fun to do and I got loads of comments on it throughout the day. We then picked up Charley before everyone met at Tilehurst station. On the train we just messed around, took pictures and listened to New Politics so it was a pretty uneventful trip.

When we got to Oxford Mr Phillips directed us to St John's College before leaving us because he was only escorting us on the journey. The rest of us then registered (we were the orange group which Charley was happy about), had tea and biscuit and went to the briefing before heading off to our first activity on the future scholars program which was computer science.

It was a short walk and when we started the programming I got really into it so in the end Ewan and I had to help miss Webber out with hers when she got confused. Orange group then went back to St John's College for lunch where most of us had the pasty which was quite dry but came with really nice vegetable and the best frickin tasting potatoes in the world.

After lunch we got taken on a short College tour which was really interesting and informative. It inspired me to look more into college life at Cambridge which is where I aspire to go to University. We then went to the university natural history museum which was cool and also where Max and I held a cockroach.

There was a short Q&A when we got back to St John's College but we had to sneak out early to catch our train home. On the return journey we played the A-Z Band name game which was frustrating but entertaining and then the day was over.



Sorry this post is so late! I meant to upload on Tuesday but I hadn't gotten round to finishing up the post and now was the only time I could do it so here it is. My next post will be up ASAP and will be about the one direction concert I went to last Sunday with my friend Emz.
