Revision not Going Well…
My Real analysis class teacher warned the class that we really needed to revise (study) over winter break because it would be too much to do in the Spring. Yeah, about that... It has been really difficult managing my time between planning for the Euro-trip, writing two essays, cooking, working out, and revising for this half-unit module. The Euro-trip planning is still consuming a lot of time because I have to develop contingency plans due to the winter weather situation and because there are more complications traveling so close to Christmas/ New Years (I plan to travel from Dec 26th - Jan 7th). For one, plane tickets are very expensive on certain days due to high seasonal demand, so I have to plan my itinerary accordingly. Also, it is nice to have a very detailed itinerary to make the most out of the limited time we are going to have in each city (3 days in Rome, 2 days in Florence, 4 days in Paris). I also have to figure out what to do on New Year's Day (the plan is to be on Champ Elysses in Paris) and also find out what is open the following day (a lot of the major attractions are closed on New Year's Day). Not to mention the essays are time-consuming as well because I have to do a fair amount of background research for them.
