The end of another year…
So, we’ve reached the end of 2010… It’s been a fairly busy year, with my placement and the start of my fourth year, but it’s been enjoyable and definitely not all work and no play!
I’ve had a few good days out since my last post… Back in July I attended the Bloomberg Summer Party which was a brilliant day out with lots of free food and drink, and lots of activities including hovercrafting! In August I went to the Notting Hill Carnival which was good fun… It certainly helped that the weather was fine 
I’ve also been making good use of my evenings, seeing Dara O’Briain at the Hammersmith Apollo in September, Avenue Q and Have I Got News For You in October, Battersea Park fireworks in November, and Zane Lowe & Deadmau5 at Earl’s Court in December, all mixed in with nights out at various pubs/clubs…
I spent five days on holiday in Spain with Dave & Hugh, which was five days well spent! The weather was really hot the whole time, and I even went in the sea every day (it certainly helped with the sunburn…)! It’s also nice that the Spanish don’t really have any idea about measures… spirits seem to be served by pouring into a glass for an arbitrary amount of time, which was fine by me 
The last term has gone really quickly… it feels as if it’s only just started, despite the fact that it’s actually just finished! The workload was pretty high, and it all seemed to pile up into the last week. Fortunately that’s all done now, so I can concentrate on my individual project for a bit before next term’s coursework comes round. It’ll also help that I’m only taking three options next term as opposed to the five I took this term.
Amazingly, getting home from London seemed to go without any issue whatsoever, despite the large amounts of snow across London and Surrey. There is however more forecast in the next few days, so hopefully it wont cause any problems with my plans for Christmas or New Year’s Eve (when I intend to be back in London).
