All work and no play

I have been very bad with updating my blog, I leave it for a good week, then I'd start feeling guilty and write loads of entries. It's becoming a pattern, hence why finger tips are meeting keyboard as I am writing now. The guilt-fess is too much.

It's past midnight and I have just finished my weekly comments and questions assignment for my Democracy class, which is a couple of days overdue because I'd wanted to write a thoroughly thoughtful response to my professor's lecture on Belgian federalism. The problem was finding enough time to sit get it all done in one sitting so I wouldn't lose my train of thoughts. This is my favourite class this semester, all intensive debates and quick exchanges, everything I love about Politics. We have people from Uzbekistan, Cambodia, Laos, Brazil, Thailand, and Vietnam in the class so I get to learn all about their country's political systems as well and if I ever needed to ask an obscure question about a particular country, all I have to do is ask a fellow foreign student. Not something we're likely to find at Bristol, which is definately going to be something I will miss about Nagoya.

We have to give a presentation about our country's democratic experiences as part of our assessment and it turns out I am going to do Britain and Vietnam, since we couldn't reach a decision about which country I really belong to. If in doubt, choose both. It always work with desserts.
