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,
