Writing a Tutorial Paper at Oxford

The scary bust in the Taylor Library. I think its eyes follow me.

Research at sunrise

Finishing up the paper at sundown

Bed by midnight - in scary bloodstained CMRS sheets.

Writing a paper at CMRS takes exactly three days. Half of this is spent during research in the libraries, the other half is for actually writing the 2500 word paper. The libraries are all really strict about NOT taking pictures, but I made good use of the photobooth app on my mac. Long hours of work are eased by lots of tea, clementines, and crumpets (not pictured here). I like to work in the CMRS dining room, which is really sunny in the mornings (if there is any sun). It is also conveniently located three feet from the kitchen. Churning out two huge papers a week, plus reading for a seminar and colloquium is almost unmanageable, but I also kinda like it : )
