A Week in the Life of the Organ Scholar at Jesus College, Oxford
Hannah Seward (Organ Scholar)
Name: Hannah Seward
Organ Scholar: 2001-2005
Course: BA English and Modern Languages (undergraduate four-year course)
From: Kent - Ashford School
Living in: Own accommodation in Oxford
Written in: August 2005
Monday: Even though the week officially starts on Sunday, each week has the feel of building up to Choral Evensong the following Sunday, so I'll start with Monday. 6 am: I seem to have lost the ability to stay up late to finish essays, so must resort to early morning efforts - the morning is spent typing up something about Shakespeare's late romances (missing several lectures, but needs must...). 12 noon: Cycle into College in time to send email reminders about singing lessons. I try to send them earlier than this, but am particularly forgetful and busy at the moment. Lunch is always a social event at 1 pm regardless of food quality (though this is invariably excellent compared with anything I could concoct...). Unfortunately my post-lunch JCR-chat-and-tea-drinking hour has to be curtailed by an English tutorial at 2 pm. There are three of us in the tutorial and today my tute partner Kate is reading out her essay, which means my hastily typed one has to be surrendered to Dr Kewes for marking. The tute, as ever, keeps us on our toes.
