Greetings from Oxford!

It's 12:30 in the morning and I'm so sleepy, but I just couldn't let another day pass by without checking in! Since I arrived on Sunday it has been nearly nonstop, but I'm having such an amazing time!

There are about 50 students and 10 tutors (that's what they call the teachers leading the seminars and workshops), representing about 25 different countries. On my very first evening, the group at my table was comprised of a Romanian man, a Lebanese woman, a Japanese man, a French woman, an Austrian woman who has lived in Norway the past 30 years, and me, an American. Talk about multicultural! Besides the amazing teachings I'm receiving, the best part of being here is meeting people from all over the world who share my passion for teaching and learning.

I promise to share more about what I'm learning, but in the meantime here are a few shots of what the last three days have been like.

This is the chapel at Exeter College, where I am studying:


I wake up to this beautiful building outside my window every morning!


The Fellows' Garden in Exeter College, where we enjoy the sun during our lunch breaks:




Hamlet outside the Bodleian Library:



I have many more pictures to share, but wifi is spotty so I'm having difficulty syncing my pictures from my phone to my iPad. I hope to remedy that soon, so please keep an eye out for future posts!
