Hi all,

Comments from my Poly Sc Professor,
I could never have imagined! 

Just a quick note to say as we reach the last week of the semester, my blog will be inactive for the winter break. I've greatly enjoyed blogging, and been overwhelmed with the support from all of you, so thank you! This semester has been so tough academically, but truly brilliant in other ways. I've met a lot of new people, had some academic success that I could never imagine, been too far many concerts.. One on Thursday night a singer called 'Trevor Hall' and laughed a lot a lot... so all in all the hard work has paid off, but i'm ready for I feel, a well deserved rest!

Finals week is a bit of a misery for myself, but i'm getting through it. Completed two finals today, half an hour break in between in Political Science. Two tomorrow, and then one on Wednesday. Not sure i've ever had such a crazy Final schedule with so much to learn. But sometimes that is the way it goes! Best you can do is prepare and be sensible. I put a lot of pressure on myself all of the time, and sometimes this can be really unhealthy. I'm trying every time these exams come around to relax more. Also, one plus to this week is that no one will judge you whatsover if you look truly terrible, we're all in the same boat. But I do envy you if you have 'take home finals' or 'no finals'... yes i'm slightly bitter!

Regardless, we're nearly there and this final push will really be worth it. I can't wait to get home to see my special loved ones after so long. My brothers are in the picture below, really old picture but it was very snowy that year! I'm becoming more Californian, as I complained to my mum about the temperature here..forgot the Antartic conditions that await me at home! I hope everyone has a lovely break, enjoys Christmas and comes back refreshed and ready for next semester:) 

Crazy Finals Prep!
