Home. How nice that is going to be.

Well, my first term of university has finally ended. All my classes are finished so now the start of studying for my first university exams has begun. So far it has been somewhat stressful but I believe I will be alright. Starting today till exams are done is going to be 24/7 quietness so students, like myself, can study. Yeah. Let the studying begin other words.

I have four exams so it isn't that bad. I would have like to have 3 or even 2 but I can't really do anything about it. What is nice is I know what study method works for me so I am happy about that. The method I use to study are FLASH CARDS! Seriously, it is a pain in the but to write down every term on a piece of paper and the definition on the other side but it is worth it. It is quiet effective but exams are to study you knowledge and your memory. One thing flash cards do is to test your memory. HURRAY! Anyways, I wrote out all of my flash cards for my exams and there are a lot. I might be a bit nuts for writing so much but a) I am a writer and b) the flash card method works for me so....

Going back to exams, I have my art history slide test on the 5th of December, written french exam on the 6th and my philosophy and effective writing exam on the 9th of December. THEN I WILL BE HOME! YAY! I land in Toronto at 3:15 pm on the 11th of December. I can't wait to go home and see my lovely friends and family. The stories I have for them... (queue evil laugh).

I do like it here in the United Kingdom but it is really nice to be home. I get to sleep in my own bed. I get to see and play my instruments again. I get to paint and draw and do artistic things. I get to spend time with my mother, brother, my little puppy and my cats. I get to eat homemade food and TIM HORTON'S! (You guys have no idea how much I have missed the taste and smell of Tim Horton's.) I get to sing and be marry with my talented friends. I get to chill at home for three weeks and not worry about getting assignments done on time. The bliss that awaits me is torturous but hard work pays off.

I would inform you on crazy events like visiting a new country or going into London for a field study but I haven't done anything like that for a while. My next field study will be next term so I have nothing new to report. Just studying for exams, stressing about them and wanting to go home.

Till next time,

First University Exams

Ok. I am a bit nervous for exams because these will be my first university exams. I believe I will do ok. My first exam is my Oral Exam for french which is on Tuesday, November 26 at 5:10pm. In reality that is the first half of my french exam. The other half is on December 6th which is the written. Part. I have started studying which is good. My other exams I have to write is Philosophy, Art History and Effective Writing. They won't be that bad but still. They are exams.

I do believe that is it.

A sad thing is that it hasn't snowed yet which is very sad because I miss the snow. A lot of family and friends back in Canada have been saying that it is snowing on facebook and I look out the window and I see no snow on the ground. The weather is cold and windy. No sight of snow anywhere. The good news is that I will be home soon! I can't wait. I get to see snow on the ground. I get to decorate the Christmas tree with my brother and my mother. I get to bake Christmas cookies. I get to have homemade food. I get to see friends and family again. I get to sit down and read, create art, write and play my instruments. I am really excited to be home again and have a 3 week chill period. It will be a nice break from school because everyone needs one.

Anyways, I have to get back to studying for exams. I will update when my exams are done.

Till next time!
