Midterms

Yup, it's that time of the semester again. Three full weeks of school before spring break, and they're going to be jam-packed. Not only do I have my fair share of exams and papers for class, but Panton is visiting for a week and I have my second actuarial exam the Friday before spring break. I doubt this will leave much time for travel or posts.

For spring break, I'll be spending a week in Italy, four days in Istanbul, and two days in Switzerland. I read that statistically the best part of a vacation is planning it. I guess that should be something to cheer me up as I study.

However, the weather is actually becoming nice. Still nippy but the sun actually comes out and you don't need to carry an umbrella every time you step outside. I wonder what London is like in the summer and if the UK has any beaches. Within a week of arriving, I was convinced that it rained year-round, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
