I have decided to start this calendar year with a look at the great events that 2011 holds for us, the Aston students. I have done “extensive research” to mark these in a Top 10 of "things to look forward to in 2011". Here is the beginning of the countdown (number 10 to 5):
10-Any type of academic work
Come on you had that coming; this is definitely the least thing to look forward to in 2011. Then again, think about it, there are so many people who are counting on this year’s grade to find a good job. Also, what purpose would you have if there was not a single assignment in uni? Still, looking forward is not the best verb in a sentence including the word academia.
09-The end of the galablog
With the end of the academic year, the end of the galablog will come. I know that trough the years you have grown to love losing your time reading my very annoyingly dull posts. Then again, would you not look back one day and think, god I wish the galablog was still on. Plus, did you think I would not leave with a blast (yes, the-end-of-the-galablog party!)
08-Easter Break
See, usually a break is a great idea but the Easter break, i don't know; it’s not warm enough to go to the beach, there is no snow to go skiing and stuff… it is just a boring holiday. Then again, it is a holiday and every holiday should be looked forward to (do make travel plans, it makes it better but more on travel plans later in this countdown)
07-Fresher’s Week 2011
I know this is not in the current academic year and, yes, I know I would have graduated by then but come on, I will still be in England and have mates in Aston, do you think I will miss Freshers week 2011. Yes, fake ID saying I am 18 and a fresher (this is a new personal low)
06-Celebrating the end of the May exam session
Now, this is going to be legendary, all the best parties are when you know that there is no reason to not party hard! And why would you not party hard when the year is over, you have no worries and the skies are blue again!
05-Celebrating the end of the January exam session
The January exam session is pure torture. I never sleep during this dreadful period. Mostly, due by the fact that I have not revised during the Christmas break (because I have a life). The end of the January exams is always so sweet and the party is so well deserved. Don’t get me wrong, the May and June parties celebrating a similar occasion are awesome but there is something about January that just makes celebration a must (probably it's the New Year, dunno.)
***the rest of the countdown in 4 days!***
