I ask for a little sympathy at the start of next term, as the chances of me being able to confidently write 60wpm in shorthand or to have read all the politics books by the 19th of January are increasingly looking quite bleak. 

As most of you are aware at this time I have a friend over from Australia, which means taking him to all the wonderful sights this country has to offer and also braving the Channel to go to France. However, all this means that there is never a dull moment these holidays and having spare time to myself is a rare occurrence, let alone having the time to work. 🙁

Just don’t be too surprised if after all the days out in London, Bath, Brighton, East Grinstead and Paris etc, I arrive back completely burnt out and unable to tell you who Margaret Thatcher is! 😛

I hope everyone has the chance to relax and enjoy being with family and friends, I will try especially when I get to see my dog and my lil’ sister again!
