Thank goodness Oxford is back to normal after the animal rights demonstration at the weekend. I missed all the fun (sometimes living out of town is an advantage) but the even-earlier-than-usual-closure of the Bod meant there was no point going in anyhow.
Goal for the day: finish writing a paper before my supervisor turns nasty; buy a new bedside lamp as the old one, not content with a homicidal urge to throw itself off the bedside cabinet if I so much as looked at the cord, eventually turned its rage in on itself and died.
Of such is a postgraduate's life made.
I'm ignoring the plot bunnyish picture of Hermione as a grad student in Oxford (the Bod is remowned for its collection of mediaval magic manuscripts in certain circle, you know...) as I'm not sure what to do with it - and it wouldn't contribute to paper-writing, either.
On the other hand, at least Formal Hall has started up again. Hurrah for food, gowns and table talk.
