Not so much the end of the year as the end of the holidays, I say: back to school on Tues. Sigh.

This year-end break just flew by, but then it was just two weeks long, wasn't it? Most of the first week was spent in the upper north and west of the North Island (C documented our road trip from Auckland to Waiheke Island to Hamilton to Rotorua and, finally, to New Plymouth); the second week was spent in recuperation. It was honestly tiring, and prolly more so for C (who drove) than for me (the passenger).

So. Next week onwards: I've got 1 presentation, 1 abstract, and 2 research essays. I can't wait to STOP STUDYING.

How will 2010 bode?
