Monkey With Advanced Typewriter: Tutorials!

I have either one or two tutorials a week. "Tutorials" are one-on-one classes with a professor. The professor assigns a (huge) reading list the week before, and I write a paper during the week. We then discuss it at the tutorial.

One of my tutorials is at Christ Church, perhaps the most famous of all the Oxford Colleges. It's also the most touristy, and visitors are not allowed to go through the main gate.

I don't actually like Christ Church that much. I think a lot of other colleges look much nicer, and seem less stuffy, but whatever.

Christ Church has a large main quad. That's the entrance from the previous photo.

Another view of the Quad, this time taken from the entrance.

You can't see it, but there's an arch on the right side, at the corner of the quad. I go through that to get to my tutorial.

Up a flight of stairs is the Christ Church dining hall. Tourists everywhere.

I'm actually eating a formal dinner here tonight. (No idea why the pictures came out so blurry, but oh well)

Notice that there is a lot of silverware on these tables. Seems to be about 5 implements per seat. These pictures were taken just after lunch, so they're probably setting up for dinner (which comes before formal dinner). There are also "guest dinners" which are even more formal than formal dinner. I'm guessing that there could be up to 9 pieces of silverware at the dinner tonight.

That's the arch I go through. View from the upper level balcony.

I go through the arch, but those stairs lead to the dining hall, not my tutorial. Normally I go this way.

Turn right into this courtyard.

Then go through this passageway.

To the meadow buildings. They're kinda in need of renovation...

Here's my professors office (she didn't want a picture taken). Notice that offices are much friendlier here. You can see clothes and stuff everywhere, because it seems professors half-live in their offices. This professor didn't want her picture taken.
