But, much to my parents pleasure I&#8217;m sure, I wasn&#8217;t involved in the recent &#8216;student&#8217; activity in the capital. It is unfortunate that the cost of going to University will rise, but at least loans and grants are still there for us poor saps, and I&#8217;m just thankful I&#8217;m supposed to graduate this year.<br \/>\n<figure style=\"width: 284px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/s694.photobucket.com\/home\/miromira82\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i694.photobucket.com\/albums\/vv306\/miromira82\/Curious-George.png\" title=\"george\" width=\"284\" height=\"341\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Even George is a bit curious about what I&#039;m up to.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\nSo what are my plans for the long awaited winter break?<\/p>\n<p>Well to be honest I&#8217;m not planning on venturing out an awful lot. Going out means (generally speaking) money spent. I will be heading back to Telford at some point for a few days, but will definately be venturing back up to Leeds before New Year.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday I have a Poker Tournament at the Alea Casino, something I&#8217;m really looking forward to. As normal my game plan will simply be &#8220;don&#8217;t be that pillock who&#8217;s out first&#8221;, though I guess I&#8217;ll have to wait and see on that one.<\/p>\n<p>There are many project that need my attention aswell so I want to be able to spend a bit of time on those.<\/p>\n<p>Of course studying and preparing for the January exams will be high on my list, as well as making a start on my dreaded dissertation. 8,000 words to write, give or take 10%. So I guess I&#8217;d better get off my arse and make a start on something. Catch You later.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-1595\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/darlosworld.co.uk\/old-wp\/2010\/12\/09\/its-just-around-the-corner\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-reddit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-reddit sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/darlosworld.co.uk\/old-wp\/2010\/12\/09\/its-just-around-the-corner\/?share=reddit\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Reddit\"><span>Reddit<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-1595\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/darlosworld.co.uk\/old-wp\/2010\/12\/09\/its-just-around-the-corner\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/darlosworld.co.uk\/old-wp\/2010\/12\/09\/its-just-around-the-corner\/?share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\"><span>Tumblr<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-skype\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-skype-1595\" class=\"share-skype sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/darlosworld.co.uk\/old-wp\/2010\/12\/09\/its-just-around-the-corner\/?share=skype\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Skype\"><span>Skype<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-telegram\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-telegram sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/darlosworld.co.uk\/old-wp\/2010\/12\/09\/its-just-around-the-corner\/?share=telegram\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Telegram\"><span>Telegram<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-1595\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/darlosworld.co.uk\/old-wp\/2010\/12\/09\/its-just-around-the-corner\/?share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\"><span>Pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-google-plus-1\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-google-1595\" class=\"share-google-plus-1 sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/darlosworld.co.uk\/old-wp\/2010\/12\/09\/its-just-around-the-corner\/?share=google-plus-1\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Google+\"><span>Google<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-1595\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/darlosworld.co.uk\/old-wp\/2010\/12\/09\/its-just-around-the-corner\/?share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\"><span>LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-jetpack-whatsapp\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-jetpack-whatsapp sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=It%27s%20Just%20Around%20The%20Corner%20https%3A%2F%2Fdarlosworld.co.uk%2Fold-wp%2F2010%2F12%2F09%2Fits-just-around-the-corner%2F\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on WhatsApp\"><span>WhatsApp<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pocket\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-pocket sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/darlosworld.co.uk\/old-wp\/2010\/12\/09\/its-just-around-the-corner\/?share=pocket\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pocket\"><span>Pocket<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class='sharedaddy sd-block sd-like jetpack-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-post-wrapper-49582658-1595-69f38c113b98c' data-src='https:\/\/widgets.wp.com\/likes\/#blog_id=49582658&amp;post_id=1595&amp;origin=darlosworld.co.uk&amp;obj_id=49582658-1595-69f38c113b98c' data-name='like-post-frame-49582658-1595-69f38c113b98c'><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Like this:<\/h3><div class='likes-widget-placeholder post-likes-widget-placeholder' style='height: 55px;'><span class='button'><span>Like<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"loading\">Loading...<\/span><\/div><span class='sd-text-color'><\/span><a class='sd-link-color'><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With one more day of lessons left, conveniently a day with just one lesson, it&#8217;s pretty fair to say that the Winter break is just around the corner.
