Santa at UNE!
Hi, everyone! So, this past week or so has been just hectic! The general theme – final exams and final papers… tons of them! Almost everybody seems to be on a caffeine + study diet and by the time we go to bed, it’s almost time to get up:)
Believe it or not, I love it this way, as tiring as it may be. Actually, I’m thinking about posting a more detailed entry about this at the end of the semester (which is …pfuu…next week!). Right now, I’m just dropping a few lines so you don’t think I’ve forgotten about you. By the way, I heard that about 11,000 postcards with your beloved bloggers were sent out yesterday… So, if you’re a prospective student or anything, make sure you check that mailbox regularly! And if you’re not but you really want a postcard of us, apply now and you might even get an autograph (did that sound like home shopping or what?) =)) I’m kidding.
There’s a lot of exciting stuff going on around here, in class as well as outside. I’m pretty excited about the academic part, but the recreational activities are always welcome. The big event this weekend was Santa’s coming over! Yup, you heard me. The university organized an event called “Breakfast with Santa” on Saturday morning. It was meant for staff/faculty members and their children and it was really enjoyable. There were student volunteers who did arts and crafts with the kiddies, there were goodies available, but the party really hit of when Santa and his trusty helper showed up:)

The kids were really excited, more so when they got the chance to go for a ride in his sled :) It was a chance for us to unwind a bit and take a break form studying, too. All that smiling with and for the kids charged our batteries.
Speaking of which, I should get ready for class. Have a great week, everybody! Take care.
