Oxford 17: Returned
Well, friends,
My time at Oxford has come to an end.
Unfortunately the jet lag has not.
I returned last Wednesday (14 December 2005) and, a week later, 6:00 PM still finds me barely able to keep my eyes open.
My time in Oxford was altogether phenomenal. And I am looking forward to applying and developing what I’ve already learned in future coursework--specifically, Philosophy of Religion and Worldviews (Senior Seminar) in Spring 2006.
I’ve already been able to visit with friends and relatives and am looking forward to more of that in the coming weeks. Yesterday I visited with many of my uncles and aunts on my mom’s side of the family. For those acquainted with the reference, I can now say that I’ve been to Pink’s of Hollywood. And the rest of our time was great too.
Today’s highlight--I went to the Norton Simon Museum with Melissa. That was an absolute joy and pleasure. My visits to the Ashmolean, in particular, in Oxford have reawakened a desire in me to explore art and the history of art. Everything from the Fifteenth to the Eighteenth Century--I love it and want to learn more about it. Hanging out with Melissa is very cool.
So this ends the Oxford series. It’s been fun. I’ve met new people, made new friends, gained new experiences, learned new things, grown in new ways,...
And it’s just going to get better from here.
Praise God!
Thank you, Lord Jesus!
Merry Christmas to you all!
