Horrible Histories & Scary Swans

me outside the Bodleian library

I have a lot of videos to share of my life in Oxford, but we can't figure out how to put them on this blog yet.  Soon.  I had a good week this week.  My school got first place at a sport event we competed in with other schools.  I had to run really fast and jump the short jump and high jump.  My legs are still sore.  I had a really great sleepover at Imo's house, and then a whole bunch of us went to a place called Snakes & Ladders in Oxford that is like being in the game Chutes & Ladders with loads of slides, tubes, climbing, and fun.  Last night I went to my first opera.  It was really good, part of it was really funny, and the main singer was so pretty.  I still like being here but I do miss everyone in Whitefish and I miss my cat and dog a lot.  We are half way through our trip. 

 the swan at Christ Church meadows came a little too close the other day

 Just one more month in Oxford.  Then we'll travel around in France, Germany, Austria...for the whole month of April.  I'm excited to have a long break from school and to be with my mum.  She's been so busy with reading, but in two weeks she will be done with her degree.  I'm excited to take some trips here.  I don't like my school as much as I did at first here.  Some of the kids don't listen very much and our teacher has been very cross lately.  But I do really like my friends and I will miss them when we go.  I am going to send a package soon to my classmates at Muldown--thank you for my great Valentine!  You are all so nice.  One more thing--kids & Mrs. Argabright--I don't know if it will work from the US, but I watch some really cool British TV shows at http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/categories/childrens/tv  One of my favorites is Horrible Histories.  They tell you all about history by acting it out and it is smart and also really funny.  My mom and I watched the one about the Romans, the Victorians, and the Egyptians this morning--it is gross and funny.  I hope you'll be able to watch it.

Bye, Naya

Me leaving the dining hall at Christ Church--where Harry Potter was filmed--We only get to eat here for two more weeks before they close for spring break and we will miss this so so much.
