UEA International Student Ambassadors

Hi! I hope everyone is having a great time back home. I am still at uni and it is very quiet here, which is not very good :( I've got 4 course tests right after the Christmas break and on top of that, I've got a lab report, an essay and another course work to do. Now you can see this break is not really a break to me. It is a break for revision and and coursework!! How about you? Have you got much to do during this Christmas time? Even though the amount of studying that I have to do is staring and laughing at me, I am going to enjoy the Christmas fever :) I will be back in 2013, yes, 2013! Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy new year!!!!xx Saem-UEA Korean Student Ambassador

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The UEA Ambassadors joined together for some Christmas Cheer last Wednesday.  We swapped names a few weeks ago to play "Secret Santa."  This is a game commonly played in the UK around Christmastime.  Members of a group (a student society, colleagues in an office, etc.) will pull names out of a hat.  Everyone is responsible for buying a small present for the person they have been assigned.  At a group party, the big sack with everyone's presents is distributed...but the gift tag only says who the present is for, and is only signed by "Santa."  Depending on how you play, you can either guess who bought your present and have some laughs as people guess wrong, or it's just a permanent mystery! I got a really fun container from my "Santa" - which is perfect, because I was actually about to buy a tin for my tea!  So thanks to whichever International Student Ambassador bought my present... And there are a few presents yet to be picked up in the of...

Hi everyone, It's official! The first semester of my second year has come to a close, and its amazing how quickly it's all gone by. The last week and a half has been a blur of all types of activity. First of all, this marks the half way point of my law degree! There was quite a buzz about it, as everyone prepared to attend the Law Society Christmas Ball (I'll post a link to the pictures below). Being on the law society committe, we were all pretty busy the past few weeks selling tickets for it, organising the transport, food, entertainment and venue (at the very classy Dunston Hall). In addition to this, the other societies I'm a part of also organised all sorts of christmassy events, ranging from dinners to socials at clubs in town (one of which I attended last night at Tau, by the African-Carribbean Society). Us international ambassadors also got together two nights ago to exchange secret santa presents at the Union Pub and then joined in on the ch...

The clock is ticking away and Christmas is in 13 days. What are you looking forward to? Is it getting away from university, seeing family and friends, opening your Christmas presents, shopping on boxing day, staying up all night on 31st of December to watch the fire works or singing your way into the new year. Whatever it is you are looking forward to, I hope you have the best of it and enjoy Christmas the best way you can because it is a season of joy and celebration. Have a very Merry Christmas everyone and see you back in the new year. Josephine, UEA Ghanaian International Student Ambassador
