Ninth Week

This week started out really fun. Andrea and I went to a concert, Sleigh Bells, on Monday night. Before the concert started we sat in an outdoor cafe and had a drink. It was beautiful weather that day. The rest of my week was consumed with work (per usual); however, I got some great feedback from my tutors.

In my Roman Britain tutorial I gave a presentation of the effects of the Roman Military on Britain. My tutor told me that I had a natural knack for Roman Britain archaeology as someone who had never studied that particular culture. That was nice to hear, especially because she doesn't give me grades (and I hate giving presentations).

I wrote a paper for my Celtic archaeology class, but then on Friday morning I got an email from my tutor canceling class. This meant I could go join my friends in London for the afternoon (and get some shopping done for my travels afterwards)!

I met up with my friends, Sarah Smith, Sarah Conkin and Rachel, in Kensington Park. We then grabbed some lunch before splitting up. Conkin and I went shopping for the afternoon, but we found Smith and Rachel again at Paddington Station and grabbed a light dinner there before catching the train back to Oxford. In the station, the Paddington Station Band was playing; it was nice to listen to them while eating dinner. I had a great afternoon!

Here are some pictures from my week:
