I had my last official lecture earlier this week, and am now in the middle of a 'dead week' of sorts, before exams officially start. The exam period technically begins on Monday, but my first one is not until next Friday. So I have about a week and a half left. In the two weeks following that first exam, I'll have five more, so six total exams over 2 weeks. On June 5th, I'll finish my last exam and finally be done.
I have one exam for each of my 6 year long courses. The exams cover material from the entire academic year and are worth between 60% and 100% of my total year grade, depending on the course. So they're kind of important. They are a huge deal here, and it's reflecting in the atmosphere around college. It's gotten very quiet, especially at nights, as everyone studies frantically. Suffice to say, it's not the most fun time of year.
Unfortunately, it is the best time of the year in terms of weather. It still rains occasionally, but is often usually sunny, and pretty warm too. I'm sure as soon as exams are over people will hardly spend any time inside at all.
I'm pretty relaxed at the moment, just focused, and doing as much studying as I can. I am certainly not 'freaking out' or having full out panic attacks, like I've seen befall some people. But maybe as exams get closer, I'll become more worried. I'll post again soon, perhaps next week, and we'll see if I'm in panic mode by then.
Hope everyone is well, I'll be back with more soon.

PS- Sorry for the lack of pictures lately, I know that's one of the best parts of this blog. It's only, pictures of myself studying might be kind of boring, and I also doubt the librarians would be thrilled to see me wandering around the library taking pictures of random people studying. I am going to another big football match this weekend however, so you'll definitely see some pictures from that.
