Chapter 265 - 8 days
Unbelievably, there are only 8 days left to term, before me scooting off to Turkey for X'Mas break.... X'mas Turkey? (just a quick side note - i'm not sure if I sounded melancholic in the last couple of posts, but that's possibly because that's the only thing worth writing about... And on that topic, Pierre has been cremated and his ashes have now been scattered on the Housatonic River @ Yale.)


"I've learnt so much working under you Pierre and it'll be really strange not to have you around. We'll miss your neatly documented reports and the meticulous way in which you went about doing productions. There's so much that can't be expressed in words. Thank you for EVERYTHING Pierre and rest in peace.

-my little contribution in the "Tributes to Pierre" booklet

------------------
Anyhow, with just 8 days left to the end of term, there's a million things to be completed - of which I've just gone to London today to do my GRE test (verbal section sucked big time.... ;p), a tonne of supervision work, computing project, boat club sponsorship stuff and more. While I can't wait to go off on my nice little trip, there's way too much to do and too little time. *groans*
