Back at School!

Well, another long summer is over. Why do we get such long summer holidays as students? Is it just so the academics can get a long break? Or time to actually get on with their own research? Either way, I've had a good summer, but a large part of it has been spend working just to be able to afford the rent on my flat. I'd much rather have continued with my architecture course and just taken a nice 3 week holiday somewhere. Fast track degrees, that's what we want when we're turning 30!

So, what did I do with my summer apart from working,... I hear you cry. Well, 2-3 weeksin August were spent in Iceland with Nick on volcanoes and with Thor gaying it up in Reykjavik. Then in mid September I went back to the rock that is home and went to a most fabulous wedding. And just before the start of term last week I enjoyed a little trip to Sweden, which included a couple of nights in Stockholm - one of my favourite cities. I accidently wandered right to the front of the Architecture School at the Royal Technical University there, which just happens to have an exchange link with Edinburgh College of Art! Hehe... is someone trying to tell me something?

Anyway,... off to plan for the big 30.
