If the level of excitement I feel could be measured, it would be close to a ten.

In Oxford I have learnt that I am not the most accomplished person in the room; and that being not the most accomplished person in the room is in effect a good thing.

Returning to Oxford for Module 2 was filled with anxiety and mystery unlike my initial journey.
