Strange feeling, returning home-to reality. It's nice to be back, of course. One can't stay escaped from the normal world too long. But days in England will definitely be missed.<div><br /></div><div>While I have a journal logging the events of my travels. The following could offer a different, and a more brief, perspective of the trip...</div><div><br /></div><div>Digestives. "Look right/left" signs. Minding the gap. Pret a Manger. Coach rides. Toilets. Oxford dessert. Tea. Tea. More tea. Cadbury. Cathedrals. Graves. Sheep. Late sunsets. Mentone breakfasts. Plays. Musicals. "Cheers". Pubs. Accents. Les Miserables. Coffee. Used books. Jack (C.S.) Lewis. Shakespeare. Tolkien references. (Pink) Football. "Cheap and Tawdry". Rykenisms. Dutch Blitz. Colorful hand-outs/maps. "London, baby!" (Friends references). Overcast. Rain. Fells. Tourists. (Occasionally stupid) Americans. Papers. 6 digit building codes.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096641110915624228-5553779920727400878?l=jsblanco.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jerome Blancohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16886719822220731799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096641110915624228.post-36699185468627534942009-07-21T14:10:00.000-07:002009-07-23T16:33:35.308-07:00<div>Location: Room in St. Anne's College, Oxford University</div><div><br /></div>Hello, public.<div>Hello, exposure.</div><div>Hello, pressure.</div><div>Hello, anxiety.</div><div>Hello, world of "blogging."</div><div><br /></div><div>After much hesitation, I have finally given myself the final push to create one of these blogs. I am not quite sure about the specifics I intend to use it for, but I do know that I want to write. And blogging appears to be a method that could help pull the words out of my mouth... and unfortunately take those words and place them in the world of opinion. As frightening as that feels, I acknowledge that accountability and pressure to perform may prove to move my work forward exponentially.</div><div><br /></div><div>Let's see how that goes, shall we?</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5096641110915624228-3669918546862753494?l=jsblanco.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jerome Blancohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16886719822220731799noreply@blogger.com0
