What An Awesotronic Year!

It’s almost shocking that we are already through with the 2010/2011 academic year! Indeed, how time flies. I can still vividly remember the Freshers’ Week/Jumpstart events at the beginning of the Fall term and then our very first Semester I lectures which gradually built up to the exams. Now, it’s almost two weeks since our last Semester II exams and I cannot but marvel at what an eventful academic year it has been. Continue reading →

JumpStart! Have I only been here two weeks?! Wow. I feel like I’ve been here forever – but in a good way. A very good way. Like most people, I arrived here amidst a confusing concoction of excitement and anxiousness, but I am amazed how quickly we have all settled in and what an amazing time I have had. Fresher’s week was extremely hectic and very fun. I met so many new people and forgotten oh so many names – but then that’s half the fun really. Continue reading →
