Preparing for Living in Oxford

Beyond preparing for our course together, I'm also preparing to live in Oxford for six weeks.
  • I've talked with faculty friends who have taught in the Grady at Oxford program. They have given me practical tips from how to do laundry to where to buy groceries to some of their favorite dining establishments.
  • I have UK, England and Oxford guidebooks scattered about the house.
  • I'm following the news via BBC You can too -- www.bbc.co.uk/oxford/news/
  • I just found this webcam. It's down right now, but should be cool if it comes back up soon. www.bbc.co.uk/oxford/content/webcams/oxford_high_st_webcam.shtml

So, what are you doing to prepare? Oh, I suppose I should think about what I'll pack, too...
