Will They Erase my account?

I'm just scared that they'll erase my account if I don't right enough...
Well first of all HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!!I'm in Italy now and in my small town there is only a 56k connection which means it is very slow. This is why i'm not writing much. I'll be back on the 14th of january so i'll start writing again soon enough.
Have a happy new year everyone!!!

Going Home


Well I now finished my exams finally. I've been relaxing today after a few weeks of study. You can see a photo here of my friend Stefano!!He's half austrian half Italian. He went out to Oceana in Kingston, a very big nightclub and he fell asleep on the duvet.
I'll be flying home on Saturday and sincerely I can't wait.
Well gotta go now. Have a nice Christmas and a happy new year everyone!!!

Studying^4

It's quite late now. I've been studying the whole day for my Macroeconomics exam tomorrow at 2.00. I still feel I need a bit of revision so i'll keep studying for an hour or two. I just might put in use those hours i can't seem to fall asleep in with some studying. I'll wake up tomorrow early, probably at 9 so I can revise a bit before the exam.
But the good news is that it's the last one! I am then free to only think about having fun and going home to see my family for Christmas....Can't wait
After the exam if I don't feel too ill we're going to have a huge tournament on Pro Evolution Soccer 5 at Stef's house including beers! We'll then all go to Kingston on a bus we all organized to have a fun night out and celebrate the end of the semester!I'll keep you posted with photos too!
Time to get back to studying now...

Exam Day!(Microeconomics)

I still cannot manage to sleep... Although having woken up at 9 to study all day and being really tired i cannot fall asleep. I fell asleep at about half 3 i think and woke up at 5 in the morning with an extremely painfull sore throat. I have never had such a huge soar throat! It felt like a knife at the back of my throat. I was actually considering going to the doctor's in the morning. I got up and made myself some camomile to soothen the pain. Luckily it worked a bit and i managed to fall back asleep untill 10 in the morning. As soon as I woke up I hurried to the chemist to buy some pain killers and paracetamol. The lady told me that if the pain does not decrease in three days to go see a doctor. I hope it decreases soon! I then ran back home to get my books, and ran all the way to campus to study for my exam at 5 o'clock.
I always, always get ill during exam times...every time i have a big test or exam I will be ill whatever the case. It's probably my body reacting to stress, and my immune system is more vulnerable.
At 5 we drag our tired legs to the Austin Pearce building where the exam was to be held and we wait...all worried as we knew it was going to be hard.
Luckily after 2 and a half hours I come out and feel relieved as I think it went better than what I was expecting.
I hope it all went well!And I also hope this cold of mine goes away FAST as I have another exam on wednesday...Macroeconomics and I need to study!

Studying^3

I woke up at 9 again this morning. Although having woken up at 9 the day before too and studied the whole day i still couldnt sleep. I only managed to fall asleep towards 4 in the morning...
Anyway, I studied for most of the morning and afternoon. Towards 6 o clock i went to the library to meet with Thales, Stef and Matthew to do some Tutorial questions to get ready for the exam. We just came back home to grab a bite watch some tv and later we'll go back to the library to tackle some more questions.
The exam is at 5 o'clock tomorrow so we also plan to wake up early tomorrow to revise some more.
Let's hope it goes well.
I must say my spirit is a bit higher than it was yesterday!

Studying to the power of 2

I've just stopped studying after 5 hours straight... Woke up this morning at 9 had a shower, went to town with Matthew bought the newspaper sat in Weatherspoons(a pub in the town center) and had breakfast. It was quite good. We were getting ready for a whole day's worth of studying. The Microeconomics exam is going to be on Friday. Supposedly it will be an exam with 12 long questions and we can choose 3 questions to do out of the total 12. Having had only 10 lectures i guess there's going to be a question per topic if not more. And I also guess they will be very very detailed. Just taking a break now but at 5 i'll study again till dinner time.

Gave in Economic Computing

I woke up this morning at 10. Went on campus to give in my economic computing coursework. Hopefully this "early" wake up will let me sleep tonight. I'll try not to sleep this afternoon so I can be tired tonight and go to sleep fairly early. I have to get back to my normal sleeping schedule as exams are coming up and I need to do some serious studying. I won't be posting much in this period as I have to study a lot for these exams so I can finally go home in Italy and relax. Im pretty tired...

Economic computing 2

Yes it's economic computing again...
This is the second coursework we have to give in on monday for this course. It seems to be simpler to do but we have to write a three page report on our results achieved in comparing various data given in the excel sheet the lecturer provided us with. These variables include US dollars exchange value with different values, Treasury bills, Oil prices, Nasdaq and S&P500 volume of shares and other boring data. We have to find a relationship between these using excel functions and graphs. Hopefully I will have finished this by tomorrow as I have to study for a Microeconomics exam which is on friday. I should be alright.

I'm having problems sleeping. I try to sleep at 11 but can't so i wake up again at 1 in the morning and read or go on internet for a while and I still can't sleep. finally after a few hours i manage to fall asleep at 6 in the morning and wake up at 3 in the afternoon. I really need to get back to my normal sleeping mode. Hope it's nothing serious.

Got to study!!

Unluckily yesterday's match let us all down. Charlton was finding it very difficult to keep the ball. Possession was greatly Blackburn's. Charlton managed to defend but seemed to struggle. We scored a goal before the end of the first half. Soon after a great start of the second half, charlton seemed to be the best team out there scoring another excellent goal. 2-0 up and we though we had won this match, this is what the players thought too unluckily,. In the last 20 minutes of play Charlton seemed to have given up, letting in their goal three shots because of silly mistakes. We could not believe that we lost 2-3 at the last minutes of the second half. Very disappointing.

Leaving the football away I now have to go as exams are coming up next week and I have to study quite a lot. I'll be in the library if anyone needs me :)
