The End of Augustine Term

Today marks the end of my first term at Westfield House. I'm here for two uneven terms. The first one that I just finished was called Augustine Term. It ran for 5 weeks, and now we have a 10-day break before Michaelmas Term begins. I've learned and experienced a great deal in these past 5 weeks as my previous blogs can attest. Now, at the close of term one, I'm caught up on my readings for my classes and am currently figuring out what my essay topics for each class will be. My "final" for each of my 5 classes will be a paper (between 8 and 20 pages, depending on the class) about an approved topic of my choosing. I'm sifting through ideas of Creation, Luther's biblical prefaces, Reformation issues, and Henry VIII's Ten Articles of 1536 at the moment. So I guess my workload for Michaelmas is cut out for me.
I know I've only blogged about 2 of my classes thus far. The rest are coming in Michaelmas Term, which is 10 weeks long, after which I'll be headed back home in time for the tail end of Advent. But before the fun of Michaelmas Term begins, I have 10 days of family fun awaiting me! My parents are making their way across the ocean tomorrow to spend the week travelling with their boy. We'll be hitting up Northern England, Wales, and a wide swath of Ireland this coming week. I couldn't be more excited. And rest assured, I'll get around to blogging all about it for you guys as soon as I can find ten spare minutes to type.
