Time to study

All I can say since last Saturday till yesterday is that I was making my presentation. As usual, I didn´t think about that in advance so I had to get cracking to do my best. I went to the gym both in Monday and Wednesday to clear my head and went to the uni because the attendance is very important.
I was looking for information, I read some books about Swedish Public TV (SVT) and Keynes. The point was answering to the question "How would Keynes respond to the political economy of SVT and why?". I should say that it was quite complicated because I has to do some researches and being well informed about something really unknown for me. I decided to so my Power Point in a schematic way and writing some key point not to loose the information I wanted to say. I became too nervous as the day was approaching but my flatmates tried to keep me calm saying that I would succeed. So basically, I was shut away apart from going to the uni or the gym.

Finally, yesterday was presentation. I had all the day until 4.00PM to prepare it and said it aloud not to exceed the 10 minutes... I was a nervous wreck!! While I was going to the uni, I tried to practise it aloud and people would think that I was crazy! When I arrived, I had to wait a little bit because some of my classmates were still doing theirs. At the end, I entered in the class, the young lecturer was there waiting for me with a wide smile. I put my memory stick in the computer and I started to present my topic. After 13 minutes, I finished my presentation...it´s strange when you devote hours and hours doing something to finish all of that in 13 minutes. I would say that it´s really unpleasant but, anyway, I was free again!!=) Afterwards, I came back to my residence to rest because I had slept only a little during those days. Furthermore, I had classes the following day at 9.00AM. Finally, I slept like a log!!


Now I´m at home because today my classes from 11.00 to 13.00 have been cancelled so I will go to the gym and then I have to come back to do some homework not to be as stressful as those past days.

London & Halloween weekend!

Mmmm I have to tell you that lots of things happened this weekend. Those days were some of the best I spent here! I went to London again and it´s always amazing to go there! I didn´t expect that I was going to like it that much but actually I never get bored=) I had the chance of attending the Changing of the Guard and it was great! There were so many people but we can see it properly, it´s a sight! Another novelty was that, this time, I went shopping apart from sightseeing and how different it is compared with my home town! Oxford Street was crowded until late, when I caught the bus to come back to Southampton.
I put some photos below



 On Sunday, I was resting in the morning because I was so tired. I had been walking all around London and I had to get over to the Halloween night! The night was really entertaining! We went to our friend´s house because there was a party and when we went there it was really good decorated! They have bought some spider´s webs and skulls and they gave the flat some atmosphere. I didn´t buy any custom so I wore a pair of jeans, a white torn painted t-shirt and some make up. We were all very creepy and we has a great time! When we gout out, everybody was on their fancy dresses and it was funny to see the others like that. There were so many people, something that it´s strange for me because in Spain we don´t celebrate Halloween that much. Here you have some photos of the scary night



Yesterday, I went for a walk to the docks and then I was studying and reading some chapters for the presentation I have next week. Today, I wet to classes and I´ve been also watching some videos explaining the Keynesianism, the topic I have to base my presentation on. Tomorrow I´ll restart my gym sessions and I will tell you.
