Why is time passing so fast?! This is not happening.. So anyway, I just finished two papers. One take home, and one oral exam. Rushed through the take home paper so I could study for the oral exam 'cos it was the next day and it was really one of the worst paper I've done. I just hope it'll be enough to pass..
Passed my oral exam too! Even though I didn't study as much as I would have liked.
Two more papers to go, let's hope I pass those as well! So I can have a lighter workload when I go back..
Can't wait for monday :D

54 days left
The date is set. I'm due home in less than 2 months time. Torn between wanting to go home and staying. Where did the months go to? I've been here for almost 5 months now, but thanks to the horrid weather we had, I feel like we haven't been and done so many things.
Now the weather's looking better for picnics and BBQs, I'm stuck home trying to study. But look where am I now, doing everything BUT studying. Damn.
Fervently hoping by some miracle I'll pass everything here.

UK (cont)
Ended off at London at the previous post before I headed off to Amsterdam..
Salisbury 270310
From London, we took a train down to Salisbury. Had a bit of a shock as we realized that John booked the tickets for the wrong date and we ended up paying an exorbitant amount for a one-way ticket :s buying tickets last minute is really expensive man.
So anyway, that aside, when we reached Salisbury, the sky was so gloomy and I was really hoping it wouldn't rain. We bought our tickets to go to Stonehenge, which came together with a visit to Old Sarum.
When we reached Stonehenge, my first impression of it was just.. "This is it? A couple of stones lying around..?" But thank goodness with the audioguide explaining the history behind it, Stonehenge seemed much more than 'just a couple of stones'. We spent such a long time walking around Stonehenge, and mind you, it was really a small area to cover. Being typical Asians, we took 163561356 photos which turned out pretty similar in the end.
We took a bus from Stonehenge down to Old Sarum, site of the earliest settlement of Salisbury, and the weather changed for the better. In the end, we got sidetracked and took 371637613 jumpshots before we actually reached the castle, which was in ruins by the way.
Did a collage of the three of us, John was the one who noted that Mel should be coined 'Sidekick'. Not me :p
And here's the castle, which is basically.. Nothing?
Bath 280310-290310
From Salisbury, we took a train down to Bath, where we couch-surfed for the first time! We made our way to Joe's, our host, and arrived there earlier than expected. The house was pretty cosy and the living room ,where we were to stay in, had a set of drum sets as well. Joe brought us out to town that night as Mel wanted to have Macs and he recommended a few places where we could try in town as well.
280310
I remember the weather in Bath being gloomy, typical UK weather.. Nevertheless, we trekked out to town, based on our memory on the route we took the night before. The main places we intended to go to was..
Bath Abbey
Roman Bath
The Roman Bath was really pretty cool, if only we could just take a dip in it :p they even had Roman characters walking around and they were really into their characters man.
Dinner with Joe back at his plae where he cooked us a fabulous meal! We settled down for a movie together, and I must say, he is really knowledgeable! And has really good taste in movies and music too.. :D
290310
We started off with fish&chips in town which Joe recommended, Mel and John had mushy peas (eew) which Joe insisted did not taste like peas.. But it did!! So anyway, we had a relaxing day walking around Bath and its little stores. Made our way to Royal Crescent as well.
Bath was, albeit a small town, really romantic and I really loved it. Very quaint and pretty. I remember reading somewhere that Bath is the one of the most romantic places, and I can only agree with that.

Been back for a few days from Amsterdam, and I'm still mourning over the loss of my camera and itouch.. Both stopped working on me within one week, and I'm seriously feeling so handicapped without it. Metro rides doesn't seem the same without my precious itouch to accompany me; bag feels too empty without my camera.
): x 100000000
Trying to see a silver lining in this, but it's not happening... Damnit.
The weather in Amsterdam sucked, it was raining basically almost everyday I was there. Together with the wind, it was seriously torture to walk around. Nevertheless, I really did enjoy myself. It wasn't my best trip (UK still ranking as 1st) but it was by far the most interesting one I had. It's the first time I travelled together with the rest of the Copenhagen gang (less Mel) as well, and I'm guessing it's going to be the last.. ):
With the Amsterdam trip over and done with, I now have a grand total of 4 (UK, Switzerland, Kiruna & Amsterdam) trips I've yet to blog about. I wonder if I will actually get down to doing it.
P.S. I am still secretly hoping I will wake up one day and realize my camera and itouch is suddenly functioning.
