Day 48: Business Strategy, Dining in Hall and the Central Library

Because of my laptop dilemma, I've been spending a lot of time at the Central Library using their computers. They have computers available that do not have internet access but has Microsoft Word. Therefore, I save the articles I get from the Oxford database system into a jumpdrive and read them there where I have time and a desk to utilize. I was in that library from 10 in the morning until I left at 12. Came back at 3:30 and didn't leave until around 6:30 that evening which explains why it is the picture of the day.

When I left at 12, I had lunch at the New College dining hall (called "Hall) for the first time. It was quite interesting. The way New College works is you basically top up your Bod card/University card for breakfast and lunch and you need to pre-book your dinner. I met Joyce there (another girl from the OPUS programme) and the two of us ended up having lunch together. Afterward, I headed to the Said Business School (SBS) for my first tutorial for the official term.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect. My tutor picked me up from the SBS lobby. There was a bit of a mixup with the rooms so we ended up having our tutorial in the SBS library. The tutorial went way better than I expected it would. He was fairly impressed with my paper and the style I utilized. I can't help but smile. I was glad that the paper went well. The tutorial itself was fun. I was able to fully express my views and ask the questions I've been meaning to ask. Definitely a great first tutorial

I went back to the Central library afterwards because I had a lot more readings to do for my marketing essay and I wasn't quite close to being done. Thus, I spent the rest of the day reading. But what else is new?
