It's over! (Well, almost)

Dissertation Run 06, originally uploaded by spiltink.

Monday finally came and went, in a very drunken blur. I probably should've eaten some breakfast before getting stuck into trips to the bar. As you can see from the picture of my friend Holly* and I above (taken in the time old hold-camera-aloft-and-smile fashion). Not only are we drunk, we're also decidedly windswept. Having mocked us all with sunny weather last week, the day dawned very windy, overcast and generally blah. And yes, it did rain later.

Bastards.

The great British weather didn't deter the runners though and there were lots of comedy moments of people streaking through the gathering crowds or doing the final run in fancy dress, which in our collected drunkeness, the crowd roared their approval of.

It's very strange to think that the dissertations are done and gone; However, its not all over quite yet. There's still the small matter of that exam and the 3000 words that the english department feels it is due. It's with heavy heart that I return to my laptop and books after the brief taste of freedom that Monday (and the subsequent Tuesday recovery day) afforded me. Until then, I hold on with the knowledge that it'll all be over next Monday.

NB: * - you may remember Holly from our adventures over at the The Oz Blog, our adventure through the South Pacific's dossing trail.
