    Its next Friday as far as I know. We were back on Jan 10th, and we get off on March 11th, which I think makes up the 8 weeks of this term :)

    And we are also back on April 3rd. I really can't wait for this 3 week break. My plan is to do some study but that certainly won't happen! Booze, Booze and more Booze instead for me! :D

    Phd thesis can reach 500-600 pages np.

    To be fair from those that I have perused they're not exactly 100% original works, so much is based on previous work serving as an intro to the work you've spent three years on - at that stage you've plenty to write about. Still no esay task

    Yeah its true! A normal eng masters or Phd thesis is about 300 pages or so. Kinda makes you appreciate just having to do a little one actually! :D
