The Reunion Tour

As I mentioned previously, this week I made my way back across the pond to take part in my DPhil viva.  I won't know my results for a few weeks, but I thought I would take this opportunity to make what might be my last post from England for quite a while.

The viva seemed to go pretty well.  I am happy with my answers, and so was my supervisor.  It is now only a matter of how major or minor my corrections will be.  I don't think I was asked anything extraordinary or unfair - it was all reasonable and more or less expected.

I also had many opportunities to catch up with friends over dinner, brunch, parties, etc.  For me, those experiences were just as important as the academic ones during my time here.

Sure, it's not the same as it was when I started, and many of my friends are no longer in Oxford.  But it was a great feeling to pick up where I left off, even after nearly eight months away.

Stay tuned...this blog isn't done just yet.

Love from the land of Ox,
