School resumed last week after a wonderful month-long winter break. (I went back to the States for 3 weeks, if you didn't already know that.) It was one of the best Christmas vacations ever - and one of the coldest!
I came back to the U.K. with 5 days to study for my statistics exams. But it was still incredibly difficult since the questions were completely different from the ones we practiced in class/for homework. I'm just hoping I passed (grades will be posted in a few weeks). Now we're moving quickly into second semester and I've got loads of homework. There are fewer lectures this semester, so we're getting more assignments for self-study. It's only been one week of classes, but this is what I've got so far:
Needless to say, this blog will be on hiatus for the next two months. I don't expect anything exciting to happen (it's very boring writing about my daily activities in the library).
BUT . . . you can look forward to some more travel blog posts at the end of March and in April! I will be going to Geneva, Switzerland for a study tour at the World Health Organization on March 23-31. Then Mom and Dad will be coming to England for a 2-week holiday in April. So sit tight until spring when the adventures resume!

- Literature review of 15 articles due in 2 weeks - the topic cannot be the same as my dissertation, which means . . .
- I have to do another literature review of an additional 50 articles for my dissertation
- Practice exercise of a qualitative research method
- Practice exercise of a quantitative research method
- Formal assignment of a research design proposal
