I am not sure why I like this cartoon, maybe because it is classified as a historical comedy so I can say that it is a way to improve my general knowledge and it is funny too. :))
Anyway, to draw a parallel – in September when I arrived here it was all very exciting, everything was new, I didn’t know a single person here and I had never worked in a church before. It sounds frightening but for me it was also challenging; I have learned a lot and am still learning, I have had good and bad moments, I have met lots of different people. After 7 months here, I find myself in a routine again; day after day, week after week just repeating the same things. This Saturday I am going to France with some team mates; not sure what we will do there, but any change is a good change. When I come back to England I will have just over two months left which I am certain will fly by. Having to think about what to do next year, entertaining some friends who will come to visit me and maybe being given some new tasks in the summer term will contribute to that.
So what have I been up to in the meantime?!
Well, I can’t say that I wasn’t looked after. Our boss, Sarah took us to Oxford. We spent a day there walking around, sneaking into the college gardens; it’s a university town and it seems a nice place to study. I thought it was very pretty, with the charm of Italian towns.
I also started dancing classes – never danced before but I love it; for 28 days I didn’t eat any sugar – it was a real struggle because I have a sweet tooth; finally started jogging regularly – which I am very proud of; read a couple of books; hooked on Tony Campolo’s talks. That is about it!
These photos show Oxford! Little bit of culture...
...and non culture....
Sometimes it sounds as if I’m complaining; maybe I do complain but I like life as it is – a circle, now and then broken.
