Here are a few of my Exeter conference photos – all told it was a pretty fantastic experience. The campus was situated high above the town and offered gorgeous views of the Devonshire countryside. Aside from all that the campus itself was very beautiful and actually reminded me a lot of the Huntington and surrounding area in the sense that it not feel like a typical English campus. The conference was a ton of fun (it gave me a chance to wear my new white dress and pretend to fondle statues, one of my favorite vacation activities) and I ran into a woman who is an expert on Anna of Denmark (a figure whom I have researched extensively and wrote my MA thesis on many years ago) and we had a wonderful talk which made me feel less like a grad student and more like a professional academic (which I guess is what I actually will be in a year or so) so the whole thing was great. Oh, and there was free food and booze. And pretty views. So yeah, a good time was had by this gal! Then it culminated in a three hour train ride back to London where there were no seats and I was literally pressed up against a window by the door the entire time. But I got a few “train ride scenery photos” out of it.
