About ten days into my time in Oxford I became aware of how people communicated. Notes were posted in the porter’s lodge in a pigeonhole with your name on it. Mine was now jammed full of increasingly frustrated notes from the history tutors, asking why I wasn’t attending all the start-up meetings. Christ. Damn it. I’d thought it had been kind of laid-back and quiet. The last note basically said if I didn’t come and see them ASAP, they would have to assume I wasn’t on the course and take action. I’d apparently missed social drinks, the inception meetings, explanations of the library system, and a bunch of other stuff that would have helped. So I went to see the professor and confessed the truth. He looked a bit annoyed that anyone could be that dumb, but told me to get to the library and get on with an essay due in a couple of days. I hurried off to the Bodleian Library, where it turned out the books I needed had already been taken by the other students.
