Hello everyone, I hope you are
well rested from the Christmas break and ready to start the second term. Last
week was a stressful time for me, as I had three exams in one week! It was as
horrible as it sounds, and meant that my Christmas break was as revision filled
as you can imagine. It did mean though that as a treat, 11:30am on Friday the 9th
of January 2015 marked the start of a weekend of rest and zero revision, yay! For
those of you who have followed my blog updates, you may or may not know that I
am a fan of The Sims. Although I am a fan, I am slow to move to the next
version once it has been released, and this time was no exception. One of my
friends finally convinced me to get The Sims 4, and I was surprised at how much
better it was than The Sims 3, and I loved The Sims 3! So as you can imagine,
the weekend I had off after my exams was spent playing The Sims 4, and I must
say it was time well spent.
So as the title would suggest, I
thought I would take the opportunity to let you know my plans for the year
ahead. In terms of my studies, this year is the year I will complete my degree,
which will involve multiple assignments, more exams, presentations, as well as
a dissertation with a grand total of 15,000 words… it will all be worth it in
the end! This year I also plan on sorting out my finances, taking at least one
holiday (abroad), and just generally making myself a better person. I suppose
it’s not very original, and the vast majority of people will have similar goals
every time a new year comes around, but sometimes being cliché is needed.
As you may remember from my last
blog, I thought I would start including a fact that I find interesting just to
make a change to the regular blogs that I write. This time, my fact is about
Highway 1 in Australia, which is the world’s longest national highway,
totalling 14,500 km! Highway 1 circumnavigates the entire country, and joins
together all the mainland state capitals. As the highway passes through nearly
every major inhabited part of Australia, it is very popular with tourists. It
sure would be one amazing road trip to circumnavigate Australia on Highway 1,
just think of all the things you would see! It would be an extremely long drive
though, and would probably take a very long time! Plus think of all those miles
added on whichever vehicle that was used.
I hope you found that fact
interesting, and that you are working hard this year to get the best results
you can. Until next time everyone!
