Life is wonderful
I haven't really posted in a while, although I've been meaning too for ages, largely because I am lazy. Life in Oxford is going great - I don't have much work (comparatively) this term, what work I do have is incredibly interesting, my grades are good and extra-curricular stuff is great. I got about a hundred letters signed for Amnesty International this week, which is amazing considering we have only 376 undergraduates. I feel really great about the enthusiasm within college for human rights.
My social life in Oxford is as fun as ever. Although some people now live annoyingly far away, I've largely retained my habit of just casually dropping in on people and staying in their rooms for entire evenings as fun happens. I'm going on a crazy cycling trip to North Oxford and then some random farmland this evening, which promises to be strange.
I've had to start deciding on what to do in my year abroad. I've chosen to teach older children in one of the regions of Pays de la Loire, Centre and Picardie in France. I hope I get put in one of the first two, preferably in a city like Tours (that would be perfect). We'll see what happens...
Otherwise I am well and good. Perhaps slightly unhealthy in my eating habits, but such is life at uni. :D
Addendum: Glorious bread and cheese this term, yum. Oh, and curries. And £200 for getting a first, plus a snazzy gown. New board games... Heroes... Have I Got News For You... Amazingly good new fruit... Yeah... life is awesome.
