Pictures of the first few days...

 This is a picture of my closet (which has a sink inside it!)
 My bed and nightstand 
 One window in my room...
 ANOTHER window!!!  Gosh, these pictures are exciting!  But, really, having two windows is great.  I have the biggest room on my floor so it's been dedicated as the "hang out" room
 My bulletin board with lots of great info and stuff
 Here are some notes that my mom hid in my stuff!  I'm posting them on the board as I find them, I've since found more than these four :)
 The view from my two lovely windows
 Here's the river for which Cambridge was named... The River Cam
 It's a swan!!!
 Cambridge has several lovely parks, this one is called Jesus Green
 More of Jesus Green
 Their lamp posts have sweaters!!!
 Jesus Green
 This park is called Christ's Pieces and is a lovely place for reading, writing and people watching 
 The little archway in the center is a Princess Diana Memorial and is covered in really beautiful roses that wind up the iron bars, decorating it with splashes of pink and white!
 Here's the market that's right around the corner from Caius... it has some really tasty (and cheap) lunches and lots of fresh fruit, not to mention great scarves and cute dresses!
 More of the market and the back of a church in the center of Cambridge right across from King's college and Caius college
 A quaint little Cambridge street :)
 This one is for my mom and dad... look what we have!!!
 Now I know I'm in Britain (no Tardis sightings yet though)!
 This is the main street entrance to Caius college... you can just make out the tree court beyond the gates
 Caius college from the center square
 The Great Hall

 The High Table and dining hall

  1. Oh my gosh, Emily! Are you even going to want to come home?!!! The view from your window is amazing!!

    I'm so glad you're liking the notes I left you. I notice that you found one about Skype ... haven't seen that one put into action yet, though! ;-)

    Love you!!
