 Oxford Summer Course Diary


Day 3: A Day of Learning and Leisure: Punting in Oxford


Breakfast and Morning Session:

I started Day 3 with a delicious breakfast, fueling up for another exciting day of learning and activities. The morning session focused on enhancing our creative writing skills. We explored various narrative techniques, delving into the art of crafting compelling characters and vivid settings. The discussions were insightful, and I could feel my writing evolving with each passing day.

Afternoon Activities:

After a productive morning, we had a break for lunch, followed by some free time. I took this opportunity to explore the beautiful surroundings of Oxford. Walking through the historic streets and soaking in the rich culture was truly inspiring.

Evening Adventure: Punting on the Lake:

The highlight of the day was our evening activity – punting on the lake near Summerville, Woodstock. Joined by fellow students from around the world, we navigated the serene waters, enjoying the picturesque scenery and engaging in lively conversations. It was a perfect blend of relaxation and camaraderie, making it an unforgettable experience.



Five Pearls of Wisdom: Making the Most of Your Summer Course

1. Stay Curious: Always ask questions and seek deeper understanding. Curiosity fuels creativity and opens up new perspectives.

2. Network: Connect with peers and instructors. Building relationships enhances your learning experience and provides valuable insights.

3. Take Notes: Jot down key points and ideas during classes and activities. These notes will serve as a useful reference for your projects and future endeavors.

4. Embrace Diversity: Engage with students from different cultures. Their unique viewpoints enrich your understanding and broaden your horizons.

5. Balance Work and Play: While it's important to focus on your studies, don't forget to enjoy the extracurricular activities. They provide a well-rounded experience and help you unwind.

Day 3 was a perfect blend of learning, exploration, and fun. I look forward to the upcoming days and the new adventures they will bring!
