Nearly there

It's a year today since I left work. Lots has happened since then, as long-term readers will know. This time last year we faced a move to Cambridge, not really knowing what lay ahead. Looking back, it's not been too bad!

The course has flown by, and academically we're almost there. Today I finished the last of my first-year essays, which now just awaits my proof reader before being finally printed and handed in on Tuesday morning. For me it's been an amazingly productive week with three essays completed, but I offer a little piece of advice at this point - it's best if you don't doze off with your laptop on your lap. I am absolutely shattered - towards the end of the week it's been difficult to get out of bed, but no difficulty at all getting into it!

Now there is only the Greek exam to look forward to. The rest of the Bank Holiday weekend will be spent enjoying the Monaco Grand Prix (unfortunately not in person), with a bit of time off, and some revision, as well as hosting a barbecue for SPICE (the Ridley partner's group) on Monday evening.

In other news, Gavin and Ruth have clearly decided that I have forgotten about my Ferris Wheel. I told them I'd send a text when I'd forgotten about it....
