OK, so I've decided that from now on I'll be writing this blog in English. Most of you who read it do understand the lingo, those of you who don't...well you don't deserve to read it :) (just kidding)...I simply think it'll be a good change.
So, Lent Term has started, last week on the 15th of January. I was back in Hungary for a few weeks, because although I did plan on staying over for the holidays, in mid December Cambridge and the College just died out, and it was getting pretty...well not boring, but uneventful.
Flying home turned out to be a good decision, the three and a half weeks was just enough time to see everyone, get hooked up. Xmas was terrible, I was ill with the flu for a couple of days with a temperature of 39.1 C (its what you get as a present in Hungary from Colonel Winter:).
New years eve was an experience up at Wallaces place, everyone who counted was there, and must say I really enjoyed it (Gergő you still owe me the pictures...upload them to ftp.bohanet.hu (username and password is "bohanet").
Then, once in to the new year planning a snowboard trip to Austria was on the agenda. Since it was the peak season for skiing and snowboarding we did manage to find a decent place in Zell am See (Salzburg county), and the glacier up in Kaprun was just awesome.
The first nigh it snowed, hence we had powder-virgin snow to ride on all through the four days of our stay. The Hotel was an alleged four star Sporthotel called Alpenblick, equipped with a indoor-outdoor swimming pool, sauna's, steam rooms ect. Food was delicious, and our room was brand new and spacious. All in all it was a trip worth the time and money.
After the snowboard trip, the next day I returned to Cambridge, only to find that everything is back to normal, and started term the following day with lectures. This first twelve days seemed to show that Lent Term is going to be different. I've decided to cut down on the social activities, also the pubbing and excessive drinking. I'm restricting my social involvement to formal halls, which are mainly waiter served dinners with a purpose. There was a lawyer formal on Wednesday in Fitz, Thursday went to Pembroke College together with a few LLMerz, and last night there was the Middle Temple dinner down Clare's College, which was basically a professional lawyer formal with the barristers from the Inn. Next Wednesday I'm going to Trinity Hall, before that on Tuesday there's the annual Gray's Inn Dinner in London, and then in February Lincoln's Inn is having a Dinner too, where I've booked a place.
All in all the motto for this semester if "simply taking it easy", concentrating more on the studies, doing more work. I'am however continuing with rowing, I've been put on the 3rd boat this term, being positioned as stroke, which means that I lead the team with my rowing pace, and everyone in the boat has to follow me. To be honest, it is a bit easier this way, for the simple reason that one doesn't have to keep an eye on the others in front ...heheh... the "bumps" cup is at the end of February, which is going to be an exciting race.
Briefly, thats about it...do keep reading, but expect a more layed back reporting on whats happening, and get used to reading it in English. Let me end this post just by saying that if you're around you are more then welcomed to visit me here in Cam, I guarantee an unforgettable stay, so do not hesitate to contact me if you wish to come...
