A View from my perspective

This post is dedicated to giving you a glimpse of what life is like at the vines and in Oxford.

Above and below are pictures of my room where I spend quite a bit of time. My bed is directly under our awesome window. I can look straight up into the sky at night. If it's clear (which happens about once every two weeks), I can see the stars. This is also the best place to watch the sun set over Oxford.

This is my "bookshelf." On the occasion of this picture, I was reading Sir Gawain and the Green night, Paradise Lost, and the Screwtape Letters. You can also see my copy of C.S. Lewis' collected letters which I received from my Aunt for Christmas.

Above is a shot of the kitchen at 6:30 on a Friday evening. As you can see, it's PACKED! I'm surprised that no one has gotten burnt, cut, or seriously injured by a cheese grater! All the students get along very well and everyone is patient. Moving around from one corner to another is not an easy task. As a result, there are occasional cries of "throw me a spoon!"

Oxford students aren't always studying! Here Kristin, Laurie, Nellie (taking the picture) and I are watching Wycliffe Hall play Queens College in Football (soccer). The game ended in a 2-1 Wycliffe victory! Three student from the program are playing on the Wycliffe team this term.
