Week 7 - Tuesday

No pictures today, just a hurried reflection in the midst of the chaos that is end of term here at Oxford. It is amazing how the eight weeks of term mimic perfectly the experience of riding on a roller coaster. The first four weeks seem to take forever. It feels just like sitting in the roller coaster car and inching your way up that first incline, thinking you're never going to get over the top. And then Week 5 rolls around. You're at the half-way mark, you feeling like you're just sitting still on that hill looking down at what's to come and the next thing you know you're barreling down into Week 7, everything is rushing past, and all you can do is toss your hands in the air and try not to throw up. So, yeah, that's pretty much where we're at right now. On a happier note, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Wish I could be there with you.
