Hi everyone! My name is Zoe, second year undergrad at the University of California, Berkeley. I, like so many of my stateside bretheren, have applied to study at Oxford for the 07-08 school year. I have been sorta kinda given a place at St Edmund Hall, barring scheduling conflicts with the courses I am interested in. Yet, I have been in this sorta kinda place for about two weeks, and, as the pirates say, "it's drivin' me nuts."*
Sooo...who should I contact to find out if I am actually accepted for the year? I've been emailing back and forth with Melanie Hawkes for some time, but now she's on vacation and won't be back until mid-April. Are there any other administrators or staff around who would be available to answer my questions? Should I email the tutors directly (a daunting prospect)? Oh, ye wise Oxonians, what should I do?
Thanks!
*I don't know if this joke has hopped the pond: A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel attached to his crotch. The bartender inquires about said steering wheel. The pirate replies, "Aye, it's drivin' me nuts!"
Sorry.
