first day of classes and Naomi Wolf...

Today was the first day of classes, and I am lucky enough to start off every Monday morning with Finance II. Ugh. This is going to be a challenging course, and a rough start to every week. The lecturer is fairly entertaining, but he is moving so quickly! At least it’s the only class I have on Monday. In the evening, I went to see Naomi Wolf give a talk at the Oxford Union. It was interesting to hear her stories about when she was studying in Oxford about fifteen years ago, and also about her new book, but the rest of the talk digressed into what my friend Catherine accurately described as a ‘therapy session’. It was still interesting, but I think it could have been a softer approach. I’ve decided I’m going to try harder to catch more speakers and hopefully some debates also at the Union this term. It’s such an amazing place.
