Another Lovely Friday!


Today was another amazing Friday, one of the days where I am especially thankful. Fridays are when I have my history tutes. My tutor is more than simply my academic guide, she is a mentor, friend, and sometimes she feels like family. I am so blessed to have her in my life.

Today, we talked about Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own, which for the life of me, I cannot seem to understand. That is exactly what I said in my essay. Luckily, my honesty went over well.

We get to talking and before we know it, someone is sticking their head in to get the room for a meeting! We are far from finished so Dr. Davies takes me to an adorable little B&B near Lady Margaret Hall (LMH, as Oxsonians say). We sat in a gorgeous sitting room and enjoyed our coffee. I got to talk about my London trip, which is something I owe you all an explanation of as well as photographs. I don't even think I did my joy justice because I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. Coming back to scramble to churn out an essay on lesbian feminism was less than ideal, but oh well.

I did not have any firm plans for my day, I just figured I go to the Bod (the Bodleian Library) and do a little work, possibly do my formal blogs for my Mason credits, nothing set in stone. I ended up riding with her over to Woodstock a Lovely little town north of Oxford. I think I will have to go back and take pictures because "quaint" and "tiny" just do not do it justice. I felt as though I had been plopped in the middle of Stars Hollow, except that this town is much older than that fictional one--it has more character and history. It's just so cool! We stopped in a tiny book shop to pick up a book then headed over for a bite.

I cherish every minute of days like this because I am truly lucky.

Though I did remark, "Whatever will I do when I have to go back to the States!? I'm going to miss you [my tutor] and Oxford so much!" Driving around DC just doesn't hold a candle to English cities and countryside. I will admit I'm kind of looking forward to driving again, but otherwise I'm just having such fun!
