Meet The Next Rhodes Scholar

That's me! Or at least I'd like to think that it COULD be me, after our weekend in Oxford. Needless to say, I enjoyed it, it was very nice, and being there made me want to go back to university. All very predictable for people who know me. Funnily enough, I even felt smarter while I was there.
It's hard to say which I liked better - Cambridge or Oxford. Cambridge colleges had nicer "backs" which faced the river, while Oxford was less crowded and probably had a higher number of cool looking buildings (and seemed to have a higher number of famous alumni). Cambridge DOES have a better math program, though. So basically, if they offered me a spot at either school, I would take it.

Although it doesn't seem like it based on my posts, I have still been living in Great Yarmouth and going to work at school every day. The past two weeks were nice because we had a couple of students from Nipissing university doing some practice teaching. It turned out to be an interesting experience for them (they had a lot of problems with travel logistics and such), but it was fun to be able to talk about home. One of them had even attended Laurier for a year and understood how great Waterloo is! The two of them have gone on to France now, but having them around definitely made the last two weeks go more quickly.

I am glad that it is finally March, because ever since we came home from our week off in February I have thought that it was March. The trees have already been blossoming for weeks, the tulips and daffodils are coming up, and the days have been getting longer. Spring is here! As is March, which means much less confusion for me.
