Winter at Nottingham University Business School

I spent 3 years of my undergraduate studies at none other than the Business School at the University of Nottingham. It is definitely one of my favourite campus. The buildings are very well coordinated and the layout is flawless.

After the mentally stimulating Quantitative Techniques for Finance lecture at LT1, I was hanging around The Exchange Building sipping a hot cup of tea. As I sat down, I looked out at the glass doors and it was a sunny morning and the lake was covered with a thick white blanket of snow. I thought to myself... perfecto! Wouldn't it be such a great time for some photos?

That was when I decided to quickly finish my cup of Earl Grey in less than 5 minutes. It was difficult to finish something so hot, so quickly :( While walking back, I texted Jon asking him whether would he be interested in joining me for some photos before the last Auditing, Governance and Scandals seminar (that 90% of the class did not prepare for, haha).

Trees can be beautiful too, even though bald. Haha :P

Berries (or so). I've always been curious of how it tastes like but have not tried any because of the fear of ending up in NHS (and waiting for at least 2-3 hours before being properly treated).

The following is a short story of a very persistent swan:

Swan standing firmly like a boss with the thoughts, "Come on, stop taking photos of me like you've never seen a swan before in your life. Human, open the door to let me in, it's so cold outside damnit!"

"Ah, whatever. I'm going to enter the building myself", thought the swan.

"Careful... not to slip and avoid being the butt of all jokes", the swan reminded itself.

Ciao!

Photos are taken during the first week of December 2010 at Jubilee Campus, University of Nottingham.

WHAT? IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN A YEAR ALREADY? I miss this campus dearly, even though I enjoy being in a city campus at LSE. That pretty much explains why I return to Nottingham twice in the Michaelmas term and perhaps another time in the Lent term... to meet up with some of my friends, lecturers and to enjoy the relaxing and serene environment :)
