Quick post today since I'm on a professor's computer and other people want to borrow it!
Took a train to Oxford this morning (100 mph - I want to bring one of these back with me), and grabbed a quick lunch before we went to the Bodleian Library at Oxford University. We got to see the room where they filmed the infirmary in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and a bunch of books that haven't moved from their shelves in 400 years. Nerd heaven!
Afterwards we walked to the Ashmolean Museum which had tons of early history artifacts from places like Greece, Egypt, Iran, etc. Nerd heaven! I got to see Priam's Treasure from the excavation of Troy, which is something David Anderson talked about in the FSEM class that he taught and I was the WA for, so that was extra cool. No sketching assignment today, just journaling and reading, which is great because I am soaked and cold and overtired again. Early to bed, I think. Tomorrow I'm hopefully off to do some shopping and get a second pair of jeans and some kind of waterproof coat!
