I am at the University of Oxford...

So there are a few manuscripts at Oxford's Bodleian library I needed to see. I thought it would be difficult but they were so nice. I now have my reader's card and am in the Duke of Humphrey's reading room which dates from the 16th century. It is magnificent. tons of old books on the shelves, stained glass in the windows, Latin on the walls, and an ornate ceiling. This is the greatest academic experience of my life. I found a picture online, you can't take pictures in here and plus i wouldn't want to look like a dork. But I am awed by the room.

It is a rainy day in Oxford but it is brilliant inside the library.
