The student

After a span of 6 years I found myself returning to an examination hall. The experience was not daunting however. The only trouble was since I had never spent 2-3 hours writing with a pen and paper during this span, after every paper I left the exam halls feeling like my right hand had a workout. 4 exams later, life shows no sign of ceasing its hectic pace. The past day was spent at Cambridge punting on the River Cam and later attending a conference of the honeybee network. Continental Europe opens her doors to us today, the next 13 days will take us across France, Italy and Greece. While the embassies of France and Greece did put us through some bureaucratic annoyances, with the help of some of our Greek friends we were able to manage a Schengen just in time.
So now its off to Europa!

Ready, Steady, Go!

Paul Oakenfold plays in room 270, have been hooked on to this song today. "Today" comes to an end now, while the greater majority of London has already slipped into tomorrow. Howells innovation at 1800, dumbcharades by the Thames at 0200. Nomads waltz through the streets hoping to slow down time.............but the wheel keeps rolling.
