Eighth Week

Well it was another  busy week here in Oxford. I had two papers due this week. Neither one of my tutorials went very smoothly. I think my lack of sleep affected my ability to think of explanations (for why Celtic peoples did this, why the Romano-British villas differ etc).

I did make one of my tutors laugh. She told my other tutor (Wendy, on Fridays) that it was refreshing to hear an honest answer. Zena asked me how I found the topic (Villas in Roman Britain). I told her I though it was dull and boring (apparently most people don't just admit that out loud).

My Celtic tutorial with Wendy was really awkward. She did that stare-at-you-until-you-sweat stare that apparently is very popular with Oxford tutors (from comparisons with my housemates). I can't handle the staring; it makes me talk in circles because it takes forever for your tutor to reply to your answer. I guess they are waiting to see if you come up with anything else, but when I finish talking that's usually all I have to say (I like to put it all out there at once).

This weekend I went to the Lake District with my friends. More on that to follow (with pictures).
