"I've been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I'll tell you what, never again" - Timothy Vine
My holiday is spring break. My spring break will mostly consist of university work. However for the second week I will be going down to Bournemouth to spend time with my grand parents.
While there I will be helping my nan who is going to the Hospital, as well as giving my Gran a hand in the garden. The final week of the holiday I will be focusing on my coursework for Paulas module, this means i'll be coding my website.
