It’s already after Easter and I just cannot believe how fast time has gone this year. The lectures are pretty much over now, and so it’s just assignments and dissertation to work on. Oh, apologies for not posting for a while – but I’m sure I’ll be posting more regularly during the summer as a distraction from my dissertation!
The course has been really enjoyable – such a diverse array of topics, methods of learning, I’ve even found presenting enjoyable. Here’s hoping that my assignments do these modules justice, and I can end the year on a high. It’s going to be pretty tough over the next few weeks, juggling two geography assignments, a research methods essay, and of course my dissertation and Phd preparation.
But my easter was not too strenuous so I am prepared to go the distance! I went to Madrid over the Easter bank holiday, and very enjoyable it was too. Apart from the fact that, despite scoring on average three goals at home per match, Real Madrid were kept at bay by Valencia and I paid money to see a 0-0 – albeit, an exciting goalless draw with the woodwork hit multiple times. Ronaldo, however, was lacklustre. The stadium itself was just awesome (not in the American sense, but the proper meaning of ‘awesome’). Bigger than Wembley? Probably. More impressive? Definitely. What an atmosphere. Even at 0-0 the place was absolutely buzzing.
Unfortunately we didn’t quite embrace the Spanish language as was hoped, although we did manage to navigate the Metro system, which was something. What else about Easter? Ah yes, I bought an absolute bargain – A spurs home shirt with Lennon on the back for just 25 squid. Considering that online you’d pay about 70, I could not turn down that deal in JJB. On that note, how have Spurs messed up this season? All the stupid hype surrounding Harry and the England job. Either he gets Spurs into the champions league and stays there, or narrowly misses out to Chelsea or Newcastle and realises that he can’t take the club further. Please, let it be the former. You have given us our happiest times in recent years!
