The first picture-less post for quite a while:
Hi there my Dear Faithful Readers!
It's the end of week 5 / start of week 6. The end of autum brings with it gloomy, rainy (basically just rubbish) weather. People smile less these days and are afflicted by SAD. Well, c'est la vie.
Half a term has just whizzed past. Those lucky students in other colleges have had their reading week (you should know how I feel about reading week by now) and very soon, it'll be Christmas Break!! Albeit for only three weeks.
The workload, while not getting heavier in absolute terms, is definitely a step up from first year. I find myself having to use a certain instrument a lot (it's called a brain) to get my work done. To some degree, I have to admit I am enjoying my course (got the pun?) at the LSE. Yes, it is tough and makes me want to just tear my hair of at times. However, if it were too easy, I wouldn't feel any pride if (IF and not WHEN) I graduate would I?
Week 5 of term was not the best of weeks for me. The highlight of the week was probably a Thursday afternoon which did not really start off too well. After lecture, I was passing by the Quad when I saw a group of Indians and Pakistanis watching Cricket, and my plans to get 3 hours of revision were suddenly forgotte. I have to admit, while it was raining cats and dogs outside, the Quad itself was almost like a cauldron. I exaggerate, but you get my point. In the end, Pakistan won with a ball to spare. But it was a good game with a good crowd.
Thursday evening's Cathsoc Bible Session was just me and Father Iain. We watched a DVD on two Catholics who have had their lives transformed as a result of their beliefs. The DVD was meant for youths in the diocese who were about to be confirmed. I have to say that while it was a bit frightening at some points, the messages put forth held a lot of meaning and would certainly help the younger generation better understand the Catholic Faith.
On Saturday, Eng Kiat and Winston came over for dinner. We had Tatranski Cai, tomatoes with cheese, Turkey Bolognese Pasta and Tiramisu. The Cai did the damage and we were quite tipsy by the time dinner was over. However, we had a lot of fun watching videos from www.collegehumour.com and listening to all kinds of rock songs. We should do something like that soon, with more drinks of course.
That's all for now my DFRs. Week 6 beckons.
Cheers.
