The last couple of weeks of term were busy ones, with assignments due and social gatherings to attend. As the last deadline of term was met with over a day to spare, I could smugly watch some of the unhappy posts on facebook from some of my course mates (sorry!).
A lot of friends left Winchester on Friday afternoon and Saturday, and so by Sunday the place was pretty quiet. I spent a great day and night with some of my closest friends, enjoying delicious food, good wine, silly board games and Disney movies, and I already miss them all now that they have gone back home for Christmas.
So what is the university like with hardly anybody here? The halls are very quiet, I think that I am one of 3 people left in my block, so it is not completely silent and empty and I still regularly hear the fire alarms going off in other blocks. To be honest, the lack of noise from the building site next door is far more noticeable than the lack of students!
I walked through the campus this afternoon, and there were still a few signs of life, a couple of open doors, some lights still on, it may be different next week!
Although I am still living up here right through, I have so far only spent 1 full day here, and that is not gonna change over the next few days! And on that note, I’d better get off to Wimborne right now! Too-da-loo!
