Hey chappies,
It's 7th week here in Oxford.. in fact, as from Sunday, it'll be 8th week. This time next week, it'll be one day until term officially ends. How crazy is that? I can't believe I've been here this long... A year ago, I was doing my A levels. I didn't know anyone here (well, apart from Ruth and Tom, sort of). I certainly couldn't have guessed the sort of things I'd get up to (this term in particular 
) and the stuff I'd do, and the friends I would make. I love it 
Even as I type this, my future college child is out there somewhere, just waiting for all these crazy experiences to start, with not the least idea of what they are letting themselves in for. I kind of envy them, because this has been such a fun year, but I know also that next year is going to be awesome too and I don't want to wish it away by living in some alternate reality where I'm still a first year
Everything is looking pretty peachy at the moment, although it's been a bit of a funny week. Somehow I seem to be doing more rowing than I even was before VIIIs.. which would be fine, if I hadn't had 3 essays in four days.. which would also have been doable if I were getting any sympathy for it! But nooo, everyone else has exams so their lives are necessarily a ZILLION times worse. Which, granted, they probably are. But still. All said essays are done and dusted now so it's ok. Only one more essay this term, yeehah!
Also, a shout out to my cousin's band Orphans and Vandals.. today I put their name into spotify to see if their album was on it.. and it is.. and actually, it's really pretty good. I am WELL enjoying listening to it. I might even buy it (although obviously, I'd quite like to be given one for being related, and maybe get it signed too ). So yeah, listen! It's pretty damn good. I like Argyle Square and Christopher the best.. although all the songs are pretty cool.
Right. I hope you found that illuminating. I'm off for dinner
