This is me procrastinating, but ALSO we went to the Kilns today, which is where CS Lewis lived for 30 years! Jonathan Kirkpatrick, who's involved in SCIO, is the Scholar in Residence there (yeah, he lives there!), and he gave a group of us and free, fun, and educational tour, complete with tea and cakes afterward in "Jack"'s common room (sitting room). We biked out, about 20-30 minutes away, spent about 3 hours touring the house, walking through the woods out to Holy Trinity Church and back, and then stuck around for tea and story time. :) Sarah and I then biked home, had a quick (3pm) lunch, and hopped on the bus to get into town and spend a few hours at the library before it closes at 7. So that's what we're up to now, and there's so many other SCIO people here, frantically trying to finish researching for their long essays! Mine is going pretty well, actually, but I can't shake the feeling that I'll nearly run out of time, especially since I'm still very much in the note-taking stage. Goal is to finish enough reading/researching/noting tonight that I can construct at least a basic outline, so I'm not totally starting from scratch when I start writing this darn thing! (It's due on Thursday at noon, by the way. So 36 hours from now. Yikes! I'd better get back to work!) ~It is now 6:17pm, and I'm going to post this and get to it. Much love!
