The end of 7th week

Some of the Summit Oxford students at Stonehenge

It's been a while since I've last posted, but I've been busy. We got to see Warwick castle a while ago, and last Saturday we went to see Stonehenge as well as the city of Bath. But for now, here's a recount of yesterday, Friday the 21st.
At 10:30 am I met with my English Literature tutor, Dr. Rooksby. We discussed the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins and Thomas Hardy. It was a great session as always. We discussed the differences in styles between the two writers as well as the differences in their worldviews, one being a Jesuit priest and the other being a secularist. I'm loving the studies we do on the writing and how these brilliant authors communicate. I'm reading "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens for next Friday, so I'll be busy.

Kevin and I met for lunch. We talked about a variety of issues, many of them relating to my future and career goals. After speaking with him, I feel like I've got a much better idea of what I should do for my undergraduate and perhaps even in consideration of a post-graduate degree. The trick for me is that I have so many interests ranging from philosophy, theology, history, film, theatre, literature, economics, politics, culture and so on that I struggle in finding what fields to focus in. But I felt today was really helpful.

At 4:00 I went to the Lamb and Flag which is one of the pubs that C.S. 'Jack' Lewis and J.R.R. 'Tollers' Tolkien used to meet at. Emilie Noteboom, Kevin Bywater, Josh Hynie and a friend of his, Tim Brahm, all came to discuss various issues. We discussed art and to what extent an author's intentions make his art virtuous or perhaps even immoral. It was a great discussion.
Today we're off to Lane House at 2, so I've got some work to get done by then.
