Term 2 in Aston


After a busy and fulfilling term 2, we had a break for three weeks. The holiday was an interesting one especially during the Easter seasons. I joined the Stations of the Cross from St Michael to St Chad’s Cathedral. With songs and prayers, with the catholic community here in Birmingham, we walked through the city center to the cathedral where we had our final service for the day. There was social gathering in one of the halls at the cathedral where we had time to chart with lovely people from various parishes.
Interestingly, the city center was less busy during the season, which to some extent symbolises the solemnity of the period. In the evenings, there were social events in the city one could attend.

One may not have the holidays entirely free. I may sometimes have to sleep with one eye opened, thus not too much fun. Why? Deadlines are due just upon resumption. No extensions unless for exceptional cases . Sometimes, one may feel quite nervous when the days are getting closer to the deadlines. The available resources and the supports, however, give hope.

The vacation as a whole was interesting.   Meeting up with friends for couple of hours helps to relax for the academic work.
