My Life is Awesome

It's probably time that you all knew the truth. This program involves actual homework doing: things like reading and writing papers. Shocking, I know.

And there has been a considerable increase in this as our term draws to an end. Perhaps that's there has also been a considerable increase in blogging.

One thing that has been tricky for all of us here, is tailoring our study habits to a college that essentially consists of a tourist's hostel and a rented room in the Swedenborg Society. We are all a little attached to our Libe at school, and have had to search a little farther afield for study spaces (I think this is a bit difficult for those who prefer the "monastery quiet" floor in the Libe--there haven't been monasteries in England since the 1530's).

Coffee shops are always a good option. I do a lot of reading and long-handwriting in coffee shops, even at Carleton. (Though I still haven't found one that replaces my beloved Blue Mondays). However, most of them make you pay for wireless internet. My new favorite place to study has become the British Library. I can't actually get the books without a readers card (a process that apparently nearly requires the academic version of an FBI security clearance), but they have free internet access, nice atmosphere, and good inspiration.

Exhibit A:

Compare to my situation at Carleton:
