back again

Hi!

I came back to Oxford on Sunday after the Easter holidays. Term doesn't actually start until next Monday, although I have a talk about the FHS (Final Honours School) this Friday. I haven't got any work to do at the moment because I had exams at the end of last term. The FHS course, which I'll be starting this term, is four terms long so they were effectively end-of-year exams. I found out yesterday that I don't have a viva (an oral exam given to students with borderline fails to give them a chance to redeem themselves without doing resits) and I'll get my results on Friday.

Until then I have nothing to do except enjoy Oxford so this afternoon I went punting and had a picnic. Fortunately the forecast rain didn't materialise and we had a lovely time. I went punting once last year but I should have more time for things like that this term because of the lack of exams and less work pressure. The first four weeks contain introductory lectures and a foundation course to help us choose and prepare for the options which we start to do research projects on in the final four weeks of term. This term is known for being very relaxed for second year medics! So I'm off to spend some more time enjoying the start of it!

Bye!
