…So it’s been a while.

(Please don’t flay me).

I was still in India when I last posted a blog. Yikes.

In case it wasn’t obvious…I’m back at Oxford and am already in Week 4 of Hilary Term. Whoops.

I’ve honestly picked a terrible day to blog – I was up very late last night working on a paper that was due this morning and I have another paper due tomorrow, but I figured I’ll just do a super quick update now and do a more in-depth update in a few days when my workload slows down.

So, here goes:

1. Term’s been treating me well – I’m busy as ever. My tutorials this term are Middle East in the Age of Empire (1830-1971) and Postcolonial Historiography: Writing the Indian Nation. Two history tutorials this time, and both are equally fascinating. Fun fact: I have two female tutors again, which is incredible. All four of the tutors I have had have inspired me and have pushed me in ways that I never have before. Can you tell I love the tutorial system?
2. I’m still basically living in the library.
3. I’m making an effort to post something about Donald Trump and his policies every single day on my Facebook page, whether it be an article written about him, one of Trump’s ridiculous tweets, something that someone in his cabinet says or tweets, or something one of his followers shares. My mom is doing the same thing. Like mother like daughter?
4. My first Oxford ball is on Friday!!!! I’m going to the Union Ball with a large group of friends. The theme is Dante’s Inferno. I can’t wait 🙂
5. This week marks my halfway point. I’ll write a bit more about this in the next few days, so look out for a blog post on that.

That’s all for now. Back to the grindstone!

Much love,

Tasha
