Legoand etc.
Hello,
Fortunately the weather was better for the Legoland trip. I had a good time and I think the girl I was paired up with did too. She loved the ferris wheel and carousel, although she wasn't so pleased when we got squirted with water on the train ride. After we got back to Oxford on Saturday I went down to the river to have a quick look at the Summer Eights rowing, where college crews and "beer eights" compete to see who can bump into the boat in front first.
On Sunday I cooked for a christian union barbeque in the university parks. Again, the weather was sunny and everything went well. My parents, brother and Aunt came up for lunch on Monday, because it was the Bank Holiday. Bank Holidays are generally ignored here because the short terms mean there isn't time to stop, but since I don't have any lectures at the moment all I had was a meeting with my project supervisor in the afternoon. He discussed my essay with me and gave me an article to read and think about, in the hope that I'll get ideas about how to solve the problem of heart reversal. Tomorrow there will be some chick embryos at the right stage so he is going to show them to me and I might get a better idea of what the practical side of the project will involve.
I also talked to my supervisor about working in the summer holidays. For my project, as with most others, it is not absolutely necessary to work in the holidays but I would like to get as much done as possible before I have a lot of other work to do. Since my supervisor is away at the end of this term, I will probably come up to Oxford a couple of weeks early next term and make a start then. That will also allow me to be involved in organising activities for international freshers who come early.
Bye.
