In the four years since I've been at university, I've always found that the second term goes faster than the first. This year is definitely no exception. Tomorrow is the 1st of February already! One month closer to graduation, one month closer (hopefully) to postgraduate study.
There's not really been much change this week in terms of lectures. My lecturer sought out my knowledge during a neuroscience lecture, and announced to the class that I had published a paper on the topic being discussed. That was a pretty nice moment, although I doubt it'll win me many friends. My clinical psychology lecturer was a strange man. We'd never been taught by him before, and the fact that he started the lecture by saying 'people who get first class degrees have no personality' didn't exactly make me warm to him. Still, it was only two hours out of my life, and the topic wasn't so bad.
Otherwise, all I've really been doing is research work. The clinical trial is running smoothly, and I'm almost done with the first part of a new lot of research assistant work. Hopefully, this work will continue throughout the year, as I'm finding the dearth of coursework somewhat tedious. I'm halfway through one piece of work, planning on writing my dissertation next week and then it's just two essays until freedom!
One exciting piece of news I have today is that in April I will be going to Paris! My French classes have been going very well, and so I've decided to go on the class trip. It will be a nice break after the term ends, and I will be forced to use the French I have learned! I'll be away for four days from the 12th to the 15th of April, and everything is taken care of by the school of languages. It's definitely something I'm looking forward to (thanks Dad for making it happen!).
