The last few weeks have been pretty full-on with study - there's been at least one exam every single week, and they have all counted towards my final grade in each subject. I'm doing 17 credits in total this semester, as well as two honors projects on top, so it's a full workload (usually the maximum they let you do in a single semester is 18 credits - 12 credits being considered a full time course of study). It doesn't look like things are going to slow down at all until my finals are over in late December - I know I have at least one exam next week, and regardless of that, the last few weeks of a semester are often the busiest because professors suddenly realize how little time is left and how much they have yet to cover, so suddenly the workload doubles just when students need time the most for study towards the finals. I'm not complaining by the way - it's certainly better than sitting on my arse doing nothing, and it'll most definitely be worth it in the end. My results so far this semester have all been between 90 and 100%, so I'm happy with that - should get straight A's again this semester as long as I don't slack off, and I'll be on the Dean's List too (which is a good thing apparently).

Amber stayed with my Mum in Auckland a few weeks back, so I was able to spend heaps of time on the phone with her which was awesome. Mum sent me a couple of photos of Amber too - wow I can't believe how much she has grown - and she certainly looks older than her 11 years too! When I have more time I will put some photos up on the site - I still haven't had time to redo the photo area since I redesigned the site a while back ..maybe after exams are over? Amber is doing really well - she's won all sorts of trophys and awards for her dancing, and got the top marks with honors too in her jazz-ballet exam recently - awesome. Amber is also surfing a lot and doing well at school too. I'm really proud of her. I miss Amber heaps.

Ok better go - it's Saturday and I have a heap of study and project work to do by Monday, and the other Weasel wants an egg for breakfast *giggle*. Cheers.
