When we last left our intrepid hero, he was deep in the catacombs of Maple coursework, fighting to factorise some worryingly large semi-primes. Now, suddenly, it\u2019s suddenly 2015. <\/em><\/p>\n

Wait, it\u2019s 10:49<\/em>.<\/p>\n

After the initial wave of panic that I had missed my morning lecture passed, it dawned on me that it was still on winter break. Gone (at least temporarily) were the days of running to morning lectures whilst gorging through a mystery mix of whatever fruits I could find in my kitchen shelf. No more having to micromanage laundry, dinner, and problem sheets on a daily basis. Sounds perfect, right? Well, somewhere along the way last term, not only did I get used to the chaotic way university life works, but I grew to enjoy it.<\/p>\n

The time surrounding New Year is meant <\/em>to be a time where we reflect on the year that\u2019s gone by. I stress the word meant because most of the time between great meals, mountains of presents, and global firework displays, self-reflection tends to take a back seat. When you\u2019re blogging, you get all the time in the world to self-reflect but even then, it\u2019s very difficult to try and summarise the last two\u00a0months eloquently. Instead, here’s a 10 photo summary! (Seeing as a picture is worth a 1000 words, this is basically a dissertation.)<\/p>\n

At this point, I’ve probably made it clear how much I love food.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Spain, it’s December. How do you even manage to stay like this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even the mountain towns look great!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"DSC_0120\"<\/a>
There’s definitely no shortage of breath-taking views.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"DSC_0098\"<\/a>
And plenty of market stalls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"DSC_0029\"<\/a>
And there’s no way I could forget to mention Spanish cuisine.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But at the end of the day, it’s always fun to be back in London!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I\u2019m\u00a0very wary when it comes to making resolutions. Most of the time, it\u2019s something that just ends up being impossible to stick to. Nevertheless, this term I\u2019m definitely going to be more organised than the last!<\/p>\n
