St. Antony's

My friends and I spent the day at Oxford today. One of our friends had a meeting with a professor there so the rest of us decided to hop on a bus to meet her there for lunch and to hang out for the afternoon/evening. We went to St. Antony's College (part of Oxford University) to check out the library (in the picture above). I'll be spending many hours of research perusing through the archives at St. Antony's library this summer when I start working on my MA dissertation, and certainly even more time when I start my PhD. The library was great - very cosy and nice. The university was beautiful, and the town had a nice feel to it. We spent most of the afternoon and evening just walking around the town for hours, talking and looking around. It was a lovely day. But at the same time, it felt good when our bus arrived back in central London at night - this city really has become home.

The rest of my weekend will be spent in major paper-writing mode! This was the last week of term. We have a one month vacation now but it'll be spent finishing up papers and then revising for exams in May/June.
