Exam Season


Students are a bit like wild animals. We have a mating season (1st Jan to 31st Dec), and can hibernate for weeks at a time, when things like milk are scarce. A tiger, who clearly is not taking exams.
Alas, unlike tigers, we also have exam seasons. These occur roughly twice a year, and are indicated by vast pilings of paper, a trail of tea stained mugs, and "revision breaks".
The "Revision Break" is an excellent concept, as it means not reading through tedious notes, and finding an excuse for adventure, before returning refreshed to the grindstone. My revision breaks this week have included; Fishermans Gorge on the Ogwen, Fairy Glen on the Conwy, Aberglaslyn Gorge, A BUCC Club Trip, and the Lledr.Did someone say "club trip"?
Exam season is nearly over, and I'm booking flights to Italy and Switzerland...
