I sat down to write tonight and realized I was too tipsy and tired to do so. I have slept an average of 2 hours a day for the past three days, and just got back from a birthday party (and they’re British so you know there was lots of wine). I walked the forty minutes back at 1 am, by myself, half drunk, entertaining myself with pseudo-philosophical musings about the eerie peacefulness of the night. Below I’ve captured some defining moments of the Oxford night scene on a weekday.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, a piece I wrote was featured in American Goulash, a blog about growing up in a cross-cultural environment.

Also please reply to my poll in the feedback page to let me know what you would like to see more of!
