!!!

I know that it's Friday already, and Wednesday is the last day we have classes on, but something kind of struck me today.. It's spring break time, which means two weeks of Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays off! I couldn't be happier about it, especially because the weather is really, really lovely lately. It almost feels like holidays. I bet I'm going to spend a lot of my spare time in the park. I would hate to miss such sunny days, since Scotland isn't the new Spain, and sun is not the most common guest here!
Enough of talking, time to go out and cherish the heat!

results

We received the results for our planning stages. What shocked me was the fact that probably most of the class were surprised by their grades. Well, probably we're just a bunch of optimists and that's why the majority expected a higher grade. But it's better to be looking at the bright side than to be a pessimist, right? Anyways, I was expecting a better result myself, but I still achieved a grade B, which, to be honest, is a rather satisfying outcome in terms of graded unit for me. Additionally, it's just 20% of the overall, final grade, so nothing is determined and we can probably expect the unexpected!

planning stage feedback

Two weeks ago we received the feedback on our trial planning stage documents. How shocked was I when I found out that my version is a actually close to perfect. Obviously, I forgot to sign it, but that's just me! Anyways, more of that kind of surprises please! I didn't know what I was doing and I was convinced that  my whole document was just a pile of nonsense. But luckily, it wasn't, which meant not a lot of job to do before submitting the final version. Now I'm anxious about the grade for it. Fingers crossed it will be an A!

beloved bunny

Yesterday I had the saddest evening/night in such a long time, that I can't even remember when was the last time I was so miserable. And I will be for few weeks, at least. However silly this may sound, I am crushed, because my beloved pet, namely, a bunny, died. He wasn't just a regular rodent, oh no! He was more like a dog to me. Not only did he behave like one, but he also was my companion for twice as many years as it was expected in the beginning. Domestic rabbits are supposed to live around 5 years. Mine was with me for 10 years. I remember exactly when I got him, I finally convinced my mum to buy me one, when I broke my arm. He was sort of a consolation I guess. And he definitely was. I do realize that it is nature and I am so grateful that he was alive for an unbelievably long time. I know that this is just how it goes, but the awareness doesn't make me feel any better to be honest. I was looking forward to coming back home so much, inter alia to see these tiny ears! I still cannot wait to go back home and reunite with friends, family and my lovely dogs, but just the thought of that one piece missing makes me break down in tears. I can't even imagine my room without that little bastard...

Obviously, this has nothing to do with the general topic of the blog, but that situation is pretty much all I can think of. I've always been extremely emotional if it comes to animals, but I haven't really lost any of them since I've been a kid. There is only one conclusion, no matter how expected it is, loosing a precious pet always hurts terribly, and in the end, it is always a surprise. I just wish there were no such horrible surprises..
