It has rained for A WEEK STRAIGHT! Weather forecast for tomorrow: no rain. Thank god! On my way to the library today my umbrella did one of those inside-out numbers. Soooo awkward.
We had to elect a house rep today of the 3 people I live with. We've been putting it off for a little while, but now one of the showers is a little messed up and we need someone to make Deepak aware of the situation. No one really wanted to be house rep of the 3 of us- so I just volunteered. I'm the oldest, after all. I've always been used to being the youngest- out of us 6 girls last year I was the only one not graduating. It's weird being the old one. Not just in the OPUS programme either- in England undergraduates study for 3 years. So really, most of the people I talk to are at least a year younger than me.
Not that I'm an old fart or anything (even though I kind of am-) but I think because of this I act a little bit more like a grad student. I get up a few hours earlier than everyone, which I swear has never been the case before! With the tutorial system, everyone manages their own time, and has so much of it. A lot of the exchange students sleep in till 12 at least, then study in the afternoon, and party at night. I wake up early to study, do stuff during the day (explore/rowing/meetings and other randoms...) and then study and hang out for a bit then write and go to bed around midnight, which is early to everyone else.
I'm in this weird in between where I'm not "an adult" but not really a typical college student either. Whatever. I like getting up early and I like studying things I find interesting. That's what I did all day and I enjoyed it, so who cares? Plus, Zach Braff (Garden State, Scrubs) is coming to Oxford and speaking at a Union Society meeting tomorrow, so I have to get as much done as possible so I can go tomorrow night! If I have to miss that I'm gonna be so disappointed!
