The pace of the uni life is simply relentless, and I am now back to the familiar high school days whereby you are constantly aware of the week numbers and the looming deadline.

While there are no experiments to do, no studio to sleep over nor long time-table since there are only 3 hours of lessons per module; there is plenty of hidden lesson time ( Read more... )
