Busy month. To sum:

I passed my practical driving exam, on the first try, despite a strike by the examiners the day before. I felt confident and relatively relaxed, and only had to do the two least-difficult maneuvers out of the four. It was a huge weight off my mind, as I didn’t want to have to spend the money or time on more lessons.

Mom has arrived and returned back to the US already, squeezing as much entertainment into her yearly fortnight-long holiday as humanly possible. We had a nice day out in Oxford last weekend which included Sunday Roast at the Head of the River and a welcoming garden tea party hosted by the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford Brookes.

I enrolled in my courses this week, which kept me out of the office more days than I’d anticipated. A bit chaotic, but at least I have an idea what will be expected of me. This semester will be dipping the toes in the water, and next semester will be twice as busy.
