Summer in Oxford

I'm headed to Oxford this summer for my fourth summer with the Bread Loaf School of English (though they'll tell you third summer, but I blame that on WVU... I digress).  I've become obsessed with trying to figure out precisely how little I can pack while maintaining an adequate amount of wardrobe options and dealing with the fluctuations in weather.  Expect thorough debates over exactly how many pairs of socks I'll need (tentatively 4), and whether the hemp or leather Rainbow flip flops make the cut.   I don't want to be bogged down by lots of stuff - and I don't want to wind up with the dorm room disaster that has plagued me (though particularly in Asheville) each summer.  This is to say that I'm hoping to live comfortably while I'm there, but not wind up with possessions that make the trans-Atlantic jaunt just for the heck of it.  

This is just a sample of what my room in Asheville looked like on any given day, so you can understand why thinking through what I'm taking is playing a prominent role in my preparations for the summer.
