So I moved back to Oxford yesterday. It was great to get to see Eton, though - Matthew is going to have a great time, I think. His housemaster seems fantastically nice (as does his whole family, really), and the people around Eton have been, by and large, very helpful and friendly.
My friend Jenny kindly came to pick me up from Slough yesterday and drove me back here to Oxford. I didn't have a room to stay in until this morning, so I slept in the MCR. And then today, I got to move in. :)
I'm busy putting posters up on the walls. I've hung my shirts and suits, lined up my books, made my bed, and unpacked and stowed the suitcases. Now all that's left are the walls and the random knicknacks that end up going in the desk drawers and such.
So I picked the day of the St. Giles' Fair to make my return to Oxford: all of St. Giles Street is filled with stands selling candy or carnival food and massive rides. It's cute, but a little bit overkill on my eyes, especially as I was really looking forward to coming back to a quiet and serene Oxford.
A bit of good news: my conductor at The Queen's College chapel choir was able to secure enough funding over the summer to make me a lay clerk! What that means is that I will make more money singing there this year. I'm psyched. :)
