so close

why thanks, icelandair.  thank you for flying us and wedding party to iceland :)

so it's that dreaded last push where my mind's gone on holiday while my body desperately tries to focus because i've still got exams tomorrow. 

but talking about exams is uncool, because, seriously, who wants to know if i'm meant to be revising right now. 

so on to happier things! or funnier things, really. like how for this morning's exam, the university hired a bus (bless them!) to take us to the far flung hospital for our clinical exams. while i thank God i'm based in the heart of town, to make things fair we get shuffled up for exams and i ended up at a base unit a fair distance away. so the bus was a good idea. until the bus driver got lost. and what should've taken 40min (ok it's not that far, i'm just being dramatic...) took a whopping two hours. granted, when the driver asked us when we first boarded if anyone knew where the hospital was, we thought he was joking. then he asked if anyone had a sat nav. and i thought he was still joking. until we hit the vicinity and he stops the bus in the middle of the road and runs out to ask random passers by for directions. hoo boy. so after a grand tour of the south, and the hospital, because when we finaly arrived, he dropped us at the wrong part and it was a real trek to the actual exam, we rock up about an hour late. the beauty of being on school arranged transport? the exam had to wait for us, whoop whoop!

thank goodness tomorrow's exam is within walking distance. and then it's hellooo christmas break! because we're a little cray, i'm home at six with a christmas jumper party at eight. the mister's been a star tidying up and doing the groceries but he's on alcohol duty and we've divvied up the kitchen kit. the oven's mine, the hob's his and we'll see whether it boils down to a battle of wits. he's also very kindly offered to take on my recipes and i'm holding my breath to see how it turns out. 

wish him (and us!) luck.

in other news i'm really bummed our resident shutterbug has refused to oblige! something about not wanting to abandon his +1. bah. here's hoping we've trigger-happy friends who aren't too tipsy and can take non-blur photos :(
