It is almost the end of the year and I quickly try to pen down some things before I go to bed. I am currently in Catriona's room in Durham. Been travelling a bit this Christmas holidays and the past 5days or so were pretty slack. Haha. It is nice to travel and I would like to see the world before I die. Durham is quite dead. In fact Durham is like Cambridge and Oxford in the sense that all three of them consists of universities which at times is the life of the town. In the case of Durham, once the holidays are here it is pretty much dead.

The best part of the pass two weeks of travelling would be Christmas I feel. The idea of spending Christmas alone in London away from my family is depressing but I am so glad I got to spend it with two families in Sunderland! The christmas atmosphere is fantastic I must say even with the financial crisis and the economy going into depression, I must say I am impressed. Christmas is quite magical here as it brings the whole family and also people together. In short I enjoyed the company and the food and the shopping.

I will be heading back down to London tomorrow. It is the beginning of a long train ride and a hard time studying. Nah, I will make it fun. I have decided to do running everyday of whatever is remaining of the holidays! And I will be starting my fast on chocolates once the New Year kicks in. See, I am guilty for eating too much chocolate and sweet stuff over the holidays. I will have to catch up on my work too. Finish my essay and study whatever's been covered over the term. I plan to read up on investing too. Man sounds like a lot to do for 12days! I do hope I hit all the points I have laid out.

Aim for next year: pair of Dr. Martens manly boots. (I already own a lady-like one)
