...approaching end of term

Michaelmas term is nearly over...with just 6 days to go before our last exam this term. It is amazing how quickly time passes by. In one sense, it was only to be expected; yet, when it does actually pass by this quickly, one cannot help but wonder where all the time went.

I'm not really sure what I did this term other than go through proceedings a little mechanically. Classes, career sessions, company presentations, etc., took up a lot of time. Study group meetings took up a lot of time too. Spent quite some time in one pub or another - either in a small group, or in a larger, noisier one (The Turf Tavern has been popular!). Tried rowing (just once), played volleyball twice and table tennis an equal number of times. Have been to college a handful of times, and visited just one other college for dinner.

The first month was spent in the library - with no broadband connectivity at home I used to feel completely disconnected otherwise. Once we did get connected (though the experience with BT was not pleasant), I preferred working at home rather than in the library.

I haven't posted at all these last couple of months - it's not really a question of time; rather, of having the carefree, creative, mood one needs for activities like this. I hope to improve on my record, though, in the next term.

It has been thoroughly exhilarating, though. Getting to learn myriad new subjects (including ones I have had no exposure to before: Finance and Accounting), learning to cope with intense pressure (of a different kind than one is used to, at work), struggling with time management, working long hours in study groups...it has been exteremely interesting, in the very least.

Already I am looking forward to next term, with elective subjects chosen and the entrepreneurship project team formed. The Christmas break is going to be short, and hopefully intense, and then it's back to action...
