End of Term! Yaaayy!! :D

The educational year has come to an end!
After a year filled with management studies and social activities,
Most of us have headed back home!

Betty, Greg and I went back to Holland on 19th of May accompanied by Mr Gerrit Krale
It was a long trip for us as we took back the ferry.
In short: our travel itinerary looked as following:
- Depart from Aberdeen to Newcastle @ 7.00 by Bus (This was an almost 7 hour bustrip!)
* Then we ‘enjoyed’ some food at a not so nice place in Newcastle
- Depart from Newcastle to Amsterdam @ 18.00 by Ferry (This takes a whopping 15 hours!)
- After that, we got stranded at the passenger terminal due to public transport strike)

All together it was a modern survival trip.

Stephany also left on the 19th of may to Holland, however she abandoned us for a more luxery option of travelling.. that woman just took the flight back Sending us ‘very sweet sms-jes’ during our trip

Amrit has been offered a great job over the summer in Aberdeen and has decided to stay over.
We wish her good luck! ;)

During the summer vacation there will not be regular updates,
We will be heading back to Aberdeen by September the first!
*kuch* Counting on the fact that we all passed our exams *Kuch*

I wish you all a great and amazing Summer Vacation!

*This post will be automatically delayed, due to the fact that Greg wanted to suprise his parents.
And as Greg’s parents are very loyal visitors of our website, we just couldn’t ruin it
Welcome back to Holland too, Mr & Mrs Flipse!*

Arrivederci! sayonara! auf wiedersehen!!

Guess what!

We had our Final Examination yesterday

Although its a mixed event as:

1. You don’t really know what the results are going to be like
2. You are relieved from all the stress, pain and torture!!

So what do students do when they are finished with exams.. hmmm

1. sleep like you have never slept before
2. have a lot of food
3. pay the toilets an extensive visit
4. go back home..? Naaahhh
5. They Party!!

But hey we are different in many very special ways
That means we should do something unique..

However the should do is where we get stuck!
What do five hardworking and extremely decent students do after exams..

Do you have an answer? well feel free to leave a suggestion behind

And last but not least!
We are soon going back hooomeee!!

Exams…. Mental disorder

After having left The Netherlands for more than 226 days,
… passing many exams,
…. completing many course works
….. maintaining a social life
…… living our lives

We have reached a critical moment!
Well its time for our final examination….

It concerns the Management of Innovation module.. and we have five days to go.
The pressure to be prepared is on!

Everyone has its own way of preparing; isolate from the living world, drink beer and just relax or just go plain mental worrying.

Whatever technique one may apply; the 13th of May will will be the day of judgement

Torchers Parade

Last week we were performing manual labor, proper manual labor as we had to build our own float for the torchers parade.

“The Torcher Parade is the Students’ Charities Campaign oldest event, and dating back to 1889 is in fact even older than the Campaign itself.

Since the early days of horse-drawn carts through the City Centre, the parade has grown to become the largest student torch-lit parade in Europe, attracting tens of thousands of spectators.”

So this was in the early morning… we started of at 7 am. We were allowed to collect junk ( cardboard, wood and other scrap) in order to decorate our float.

Our Float theme was…. Pirates!

Here you can see the unsinkable ship being build and it honestly was unsinkable
It didnt look very exciting just yet though..

However that soon changed into something more attractive:

Overall, we had a great day building the float, we drove halfway through Aberdeen, which was good fun!
And we got to collect money for charities
