The mid-term break is over, which means we are already more than half way the first semester. Now imagine the weeks after the mid-term break are filled with presentations, mid-term exams, final exams, group projects and more presentations. Sounds horrible, doesn’t it?
Looking back however, it was all alright. Actually, it was great fun. Yes, there was some work that had to be done, but in between days sometimes filled with work there still was a lot of time left to do fun things.
There were excursions to the Ardennes and the Dutch Parliament for courses I took. I went bartending in our student bar “Barrel”, which is something I advise you all to do, and I decided to pick up an old hobby of mine, swimming.
In between the hard work and the occasional but huge PartyCo parties you also learn to appreciate the small things. Think of house dinners, movie nights with friend or just a get together at Koestraat, which are nice to get your mind of the work and meet up with people.
After the few last busy days with final exams the Christmas break, and coinciding my birthday, was finally there. And at RA there is only one way to properly start the Christmas break, which is with an enormous Christmas gala.
