A Semester Abroad

This blog is to update our friends, our families, and random blog-addicted strangers regarding our semester at Oxford. We figured this would be easier (and more fun) than a mass e-mail list, and it won't clog anyone's inbox.

We will be leaving on January 5 and returning home April 16. While in Oxford, we will be taking two seminar classes together: one on Shakespeare, the other on English History, which will include a lot of trips to historic sites in England. In addition, we will each take two tutorials where we will meet one-on-one with the instructor. I (Buddy) will be taking Victorian Gothic Literature as my primary tutorial (meeting once per week) and Greek Tragedy as my secondary tutorial (every other week). Christine's primary tutorial will be 20th century British Literature and her secondary, 19th Century Women writers.

I will also be working on an internship, editing several papers presented at Cornerstone University's After Worldview conference into a book. Contributers include Calvin Seerveld, Jim Olthuis, Al Wolters, James Sire, and J. Richard Middleton.

We will attempt to update regularly, but please be patient if we get swamped (and don't expect much before we actually leave). Please leave us a note. We'd love to hear from you. And if you know of anyone interested in tracking our activities, please direct them to our blog.
