A wasted ego

This week has been a good week and my tutorials have gone well. I am still making mistakes with my writing that need improving, but I am heading in the right direction. It has also been a very humbling week. I think one of my biggest issues is my ego. It has grown and continued to grow as things started going my way. However, Oxford is a perfect place for an ego deflation. I am surrounded by some people that are more committed, more educated, and as hard as it to say more intelligent. Now don't take this decrease in ego as a decreased in confidence. I work hard here and I can clearly see the benefits of hard work. I am glad I have this chance to grow and I hope that in six months I can conquer more than I ever have before. On another note it blows my mind about the happiness simple pleasures can bring. I found a website in London that will send American coke, made with corn syrup instead of sugar, sour patch kids, Frank's hot sauce, and ranch dressing for 4 pounds. I had such a smile. The simple thought of having a good ole American coke makes me happier than any depressing British weather could.
