I've got a feeling...

...that this week's gonna be a good week!

I don't have anything due this week except a maths assignment I'm nearly finished, PLUS there's the Ekka holiday on Wednesday, so I figure this is a great chance to

1. get ahead on my uni work
2. finalise my vac work applications, since a lot of places I'm interested in are closing end of this month
3. find some subjects to do on exchange!

I have to formally apply by the 31st of October to go on exchange next year in semester 2.  It feels so weird having daydreamed about it for years, and now having to actually set the plans in motion!  I had a chat to my academic advisor about it the other day* and I'm now at the stage of having to choose subjects to get approved by the faculty.  I'll need to start brushing up on my German so I can navigate the uni websites :)

*something I had been meaning to do for some time, but somehow never got around to actually doing.  But it was excellent.  Uni people are not out to get you, they are quite happy to let you take the most reasonable option - I had some tricky courses to work out because of how my double degree is affected by the recent course restructure but I'm really impressed with how reasonable everyone was.  I was expecting a whole lot of bureaucracy and red tape and people demanding that I follow the rules to the letter, to the extent that I was panicking that I'd have to add an extra year to my degree!  Of course that wasn't even close to the case, so three cheers for academic advisors :)
