Hilary term classes came to a close two weeks ago- our marathon spring break is well underway. Time to work. Work, you ask? Yep. Welcome to Oxford's Spring break. There are books to read and essays to write. Accordingly, I've been hard at work-plus getting to a handful of doctor and dentist appointments, and overseeing a group of visiting students from the States! Spring break doesn't exactly seem like an appropriate name for my experience. That said, the break is over a month long, allowing it to still provide a reprieve from the timetable, the flexibility to sleep in as needed, and other such refreshments.
Celebrated the end of term and the beginning of break with a trip to- you guessed it- Maison Blanc.
The other good news about Spring break: going to Rome for several days with two of my girlfriends here. We planned the trip awhile back, knowing that we'd be working through the break and needed to set aside time- away from Oxford and its libraries- to actually have a break. Really looking forward to that next week! Until then, however, I have an essay that needs writing...
