Oops no post for a while!

Yep yep...it's been a while but that's because I've enjoyed being back at home - reading, playing games; hobbies I don't get to indulge in during term time! Too be honest, my 'dossy' period didn't actually last that long because for the first time in my life, I decided to do a little work and not leave it till 3 days before collections (or indeed never!). However, it's not going to last very long...I can see myself going back to play Fire Emblem 2 soon enough! :)

Anyhow, hopefully whatever work I do get done will make up for the appalling lack of notes made during term time where I tackled each essay seemingly the night before the deadline....*shudder* bad times.

Well, since the end of term, I've been up to Leeds to see some old friends (yeah!) and go to a youth conference. Oh yeah, and I went to the House of Lords for some leadership thing - it was kinda just like Oxford to be honest which wasn't *that* much of a plus...ha ha..jokes...maybe. The buildings were pretty old and cool looking...mmm...I'm thinking more and more about potential career choices and if Blue Peter doesn't work out, perhaps life as an MP? Though suppose they're getting a bad rep right now for expenses and whatnot....I feel sorry for Jacqui Smith though....

Oh yeah, some cultural teachings - don't say I never say anything mildly educational :) We've just had one of the 5 main Chinese festivals though this one wasn't particularly 'festive' to be honest. It was grave sweeping day :/ Mmm..nonetheless I still hope that such traditions will be kept up when I grow up...suppose I should learn mandarin properly first!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!

Ah...new year has come around again...so quickly! It was great to usher in the new year at home - fantastic to be away from all the commotion of Oxford. YUMMY food all around and general merriment. I like how the media latches on to the whole 'ox' thing with the "hardworking" animal hopefully leading us out of this recession..wishful thinking but then again, I always like to think positive as well!

Unfortunately, I had forgotten that my annual temple trip needed to be made and thus I prayed how many thousands of times (I lost count!) and then went to sleep at 2am but had to get up at 5am to go to Victoria :( Back in Oxford for New Year's Day...it's like being away from home at Christmas. I'm already dreaming of the glorious Easter holidays....

Anyhow, although it is not technically New Year's Day any longer, the festive period actually extends for several days does it not?!? Who knows.

Anyhow, hopefully this will be a year of great happiness, health and prosperity to family and friends :)
