Work, University Open day + Snow!

This week has been crazy! Feels like so much to do in such little time! Spending a lot of my time in the library, more than I would actually like to but hey, it has to be done! Especially when you are in the same boat as me, you know a third year student! The main thing I have been focusing on is reading and taking down a lot of notes, but that tends to get tedious after a few long hours, hence I decided I should just get on with the essays, at least start them off. This way it feels like I am actually moving forward rather than at a standstill point. The first time is coming to an end, which is why the workload is increasing; it is understandable… hmm is it really? No, no it is reasonable amount, well not really! Nevertheless, those are the perquisites of wanting to study Education (!) I need to work on a presentation, do some essaying, work on logs, and my disso. I want to say I am looking forward to my Christmas holidays, but it will not be much of a holiday! I want to be somewhere hot and sunny, ok perhaps not hot because I cannot stand the heat! Don’t I sound like a ray of sunshine? Ha-ha! Truthfully, the heat bugs me; some say depending on where you go the type of heat is different, in some places, it does not feel stuffy and sweaty, not sure how much of that I can believe. Speaking of weather, the big news at the moment is London is going to be hit by Snow this evening, which I highly doubt because we all know what the weather forecasters are like. Although, it is incredibly cold and the temperature has been dropping below Zero degrees, I still feel rather pessimistic. I am not sure if I want it to snow. It has a propensity to be beautiful scenery, the ambience blah blah blah, BUT, a big BUT… the chaos it brings with it (mildly due to the fact that we cannot actually handle a bit of snow) – lack of grit I am afraid makes it a frenzied experience for many of us.

Day 1

Day 2

Moving on to discuss the university open day that we held for potential students, also reminiscing once again how cold and bitter it was! The day itself went especially well, enjoyed meeting and greeting different people. I did about two tours of the Avery Hill campus, which consists of two sites, and in between, sits the Avery Hill Park, which was coated in frosty ice that morning, lovely scenery. :) I layered up thoroughly, well I thought I did! Turns out that I should wear a few more layers of clothing to protect myself from going numb and getting a frostbite! (I didn’t really) However, I must stress and put much emphasis on the fact that it was FREEZING! For those who did come along to the open day, I hope you found it be an enjoyable experience. On the other hand, for others who wanted to grace us with your presence but could not; then our next open day will be held on Saturday 5th February 2011.
