hawkwing_lbExams are over. The last one was yesterday: I feel pretty okay about them overall, but it's going to be a wee bit tricksy containing my suspense until the evening of June 23, when the results are published at the entrance.
I have sixteen days before I leave for my month and a few days in England: first a couple of days in London to see the British Museum and the Imperial War Museum (hopefully: I might spend all my time in the DM and not go anywhere else). Then on to Reading, and Silchester, where I will erect my new tent (sold to me by a handsome climber in the Great Outdoors) and take part in a training excavation for four weeks.
I want to get started on writing and serious exercising first, and maybe look at some thesis books, if my lecturer gets back to me. I'll have busy times, but fun: I don't have to spend my time nose-down over a page of notes for another year, and by damn I mean to enjoy every minute until lectures start again at the end of September.
I haven't made arrangements to return from Silchester yet. I was thinking of train and ferry, with - if I can afford it, and I probably can't, because I'm broke now and I will be dead broke then - maybe a couple of days for sightseeing in Oxford or Cambridge. I have family in Oxford, so maybe I can work something out: the last time I was in England I was thirteen, and I saw not enough of Oxford and not even a day's worth of London.
