New Classes and the Keble College Ball

Now onto the school aspect, school has gotten much more relaxed now that we are in normal Oxford tutorials. William and I are coincidentally in the same tutorials, International Law and International Business. We have each class once a week, one on Wednesday and one on Friday, with just the teacher and us. We have essays due pretty much every class and have to defend them in front of the teacher, especially in our International Business class. It is not that the tutorials are any easier than the seminars (because they are arguably harder grades wise), it is just that the seminars were eight week courses condensed into four, whereas now, we have the appropriate time to prepare well for class. Our classes are in Brasenose College (pictured below) and in the Law Faculty building (which is nothing to write home about).

Last Saturday, we also had the Keble College Ball, which was quite the event. Keble is apparently known throughout Oxford for having one of the best balls in the University. Those rumblings are correct. There was unlimited food and drink galore, with five or six restaurants catering. There were also two stages with four or five bands on them throughout the night. Additionally there was a live Karaoke band in the college bar and stand up comics, a hypnotist, and a huka lounge. It was extravagant and also one of the best nights so far in Oxford.
