Well as I sit here writing an essay on the French Royal Navy, between 1624-1715, I am wondering what everyone else is getting up to...?

It appears as if my life has become nothing except work work work and the odd application...if I can find time! I am finally heading home next Monday but have the joys of a 12,000 word dissertation to write over the two week break so I'm really looking forward to that (and wishing I could just have the 5 week vacation I had last Christmas!). Anyhow I hope some people are getting more shopping done than me...I'm hoping everyone will enjoy the family time and not worry too much about their presents! I am just looking forward to everyone being together on Christmas day...and a day off!
