I urge you to try it - it's not disappointing!
simply add hot water to lime squash, and about half a teaspoon of honey. Stir until dissolved. Then drink! Miraculous cold remedy. Seriously. I had a sore throat this morning and now it's gone. Amazing.

In other news... don't let anyone ever tell you that all an Oxford student does is bum around and write the occasional essay. THIS IS A LIE. Work is intense and it's not going to get any easier. I have an essay a week, for which MUCH background reading is required, and Greek lessons every morning, for which I get set MUCH homework, and Latin lessons once a week. And 2 lectures a week which are mandatory and many more that aren't.
And that's even before I start having a life. On top of this, I'm also rowing potentially 3 or maybe 4 times a week (although this is rather exciting, so I'm not too upset about that). Then I have to make sure I talk to people, so all the friends I made in freshers' week don't forget who I am. And I also have to find time for eating and sleeping.

It is not an easy life. It may only come in 8 week bursts, but I don't think I could sustain it for much longer in any case.

So - now you know how I'm set up for the next couple of months - sounds like fun, huh?
