Winter in England is nearly gone. Soon we will be in spring. This change in temperature here at UEA is noticeable and the sunny and "longer" days are also the sign of this coming spring.:) Only a few weeks to go before this semester ends.

In a few days it will be the Easter Holidays and after happily eating lots of chocolates, we will enter the exams period and finish another year at University! Best wishes, Suri Mauritian Students Ambassador
