I was about to post this before I was invited by Ollie to go on the radio for an hour and a bit; it was most enjoyable, although the nerves got to my Zoidberg impression, alas. Prior to that, I had been to Blackwell's to sell some of my now no longer needed books. It was the first time I had done so, and I have an extra £30 for my troubles. Most of the books were the primary texts to the Special Subject (which seems to be having a post fest today), and the lady who was serving the people next to me noted with interest that I was giving in my Saints and their Miracles in Late Antique Gaul. This was a particularly hard book to track down, but the lady pointed out that it was the second she had seen today, and the third this week; prior to this, Blackwell's had never even seen a copy. It's good to see that others found it as interesting as I did...

On return to my room and flicking through some blogs, I saw a link to an op-ed in the NYT that discusses (indirectly) what college students do with themselves once they're done with college. As Ollie and I were discussing on the radio, post-finals life is remarkably different to our expectations - not worse by any means, but just different. So, again, it's good to see that we're not the only ones.

In other news, Amy is currently in her Principles of Commericial Law exam, so all those looking forward to answering questions on bills of lading, floating and fixed charges and the Sale of Goods Act should stick around. I'm off to Blenheim Palace tomorrow, on the history trip, which will involve finding a hill to roll down. It's also history dinner tomorrow, though in a break from tradition, it's merely jacket and tie, rather than black tie. There are many rumours flying around the net right now about a deal between Apple and Intel, which will probably mean that I'll want a Mac again, but will leave it for the time being until they sort out what the hell it all means. In all, I'll probably buy a Mac at the time I actually leave here with a D.Phil...
