So the stress has begun to try and end the year on a good
average in order to put me in the best position possible for the third year.
With my exams varying between being worth 30%-45% it proves to be much lower
than the final exams back home in the UK, where the minimum percentage is
usually 50%. So trying to figure out how much revision is needed is pretty
hard. Although there is a lot less content to revise, this is compensated with
the numerous amounts of assignments throughout the term.

It doesn’t help that the sun decides to raise temperatures
to 26 CE and so threatening any attempt that I make at revision. There is the
“lets study outside”, but that usually ends with people lounging around, eating
and drinking the coldest beverages the scarce fridge has to offer. One of these days was inevitable and so
we decided to go for a bike ride along the harbour of Hamilton. It was quite
nice considering certain areas of Hamilton are pretty run down, due to the
remains of the steel industry that swooped over the city during the 20th
century. The bike trail was rammed with families, runners, long boarders and
roller bladders. Everyone was clearly making the most out of the weather. It
was a pretty cool ride up until we come across a child throwing stones at a few
ducks whilst his mother followed behind trying to take photos of him doing it. Albeit
entertaining.
So the day ended with strawberry and bananas smoothies in
the garden along with a pile of unopened books. Although, it is fair to say
that we deserved a day off as we recently finished all our classes.
