Five days to go until the end of the first term. We have one more group project to deliver and academic papers to submit. The time past is hard to gage. In some ways it feels like I just got off the plane yesterday and in other ways I feel we have been in it for years. It's natural with something this intense. Our head lecturer, Jessica, told us they load the first term with as much as they can in order to teach us the skills to help make the following terms successful. After all, next term we are sent out into the world on placements (or internships, if you're American). We will still have classes two days a week but three will be spent in the field. I am really looking forward to this experience and know that I will learn much just being in the environment.
Today I had a brief break from school focused work and had a pre-holiday meal with some of my hall-mates at the student accommodations. We went for dinner at a local Lebanese restaurant. One from our party is from Lebanon and guided us through the menu. Also at our dinner table was a student from Italy and another from Pakistan. One of the things I love the most about London is the number of international students I meet. Getting to know people from all over the world, from different cultures is an education and enlightenment unto itself.
Okay, back to the grindstone for me.
Lots of Holiday shows opened this past week. Go see one!
Take care!
