It seems like the new bloggers have been selected. Those of you who got it, WELL DONE! Looking forward to reading what you have to say

I’m not sure how long it’s been since my last posts, two weeks? A week and a half? It’s been very busy since, including long days of lectures, trying to maintain housekeeping and get some fencing done. The fencing club has been incredibly busy this year, with a great number of freshers, both experienced and novices. It’s great fun, but it means the time you get on piste is limited. Then again, it’s very much a first world problem. And when the Women’s first (which I’m now team captain of) went to Cambridge over the weekend, we still managed to do as well as last year (4/4 victories) and our confidence remains high. Life is, as said, very very busy but still lots of fun. As soon as Halloween is over, I’ll start promoting the Christmas Dinner I’m hosting for EESoc and get going on all the internship applications that have to be written.

And with this, I say farewell to this blog to leave space for your new student representatives. Thank you all for reading!

That went fast. I forgot how quickly time passes when uni starts! Freshers week seemed to be over in 30 seconds, including welcoming the Freshers in EEE/ISE with the Buddy’s lunch, recruiting new members for the fencing club, hosting try-outs for those who want to fence for the teams, getting installed in my new flat and preparing the upcoming year. Lectures started on Monday with introductions generally being held short and new content coming in more or less directly. I’m still trying to remind myself of all the things I have to do to keep up with the content as well as juggle the committee positions I hold. Luckily, I spent the weekend in Barcelona, trying to do as little as possible to just charge the batteries before it all kicked in. It was more than welcome, in particular the weather despite the fact that it made me look like a properly cooked lobster at the end of it (lying on the beach without sun protector and Scandinavian skin isn’t that smart I discovered).

As some of you might have seen on the Imperial home page, they’re recruiting new bloggers! Anyone applying? I remember I read Chris Fonseka’s blog before I came, planned to apply, forgot the date and was reminded by him during a course pub crawl the day before. So for those of you intending to apply, last day is this Monday (the 17th)!!! And of course, GOOD LUCK!
