The Summit

" After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb"

Nelson Mandela

"Oh the absolute lethargy of 24600 ft. You want to pee, and you lie there for quarter of an hour making up your mind to look for the pee bottle"

Chris Bonnington - conquered Everet 1975

"Hay, Whoa, climbing up a bloody great hill. Hey, Whoa, I'm Climbing, I'm up, Climbing up, I'm up, up"

Radiohead - Climbing up a Bloody Great Hill Lyrics

Today marks the "Summit" of EAC Summer 2010. Across the UK, we have 32 centres, hosting 6236 students from 35 countries around the world! This is pretty impressive, and is only possible due to the hard work of our staff, both here in Head Office, and at our centres around the UK.

It may not be Everest, but I am sure that a lot of you are feeling the fatigue and exhaustion which a busy summer brings, but we just want to say:

"KEEP GOING, YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB!!"

On the whole, the feedback that we are getting from agents is very positive, and from what I have seen on the centre blogs, it certainly looks like there are happy students enjoying their stays in your centres :-)

This week, you'll see the tears of the departing students, but also the arrival of new students, full of anticipation for the weeks ahead. Now, what hill-related song lyric should I pick for the new arrivals??........

"What's that coming over the hill, is it a Monster, is it a Monster?!"

Only kidding - I am sure that all of the new students will be lovely! ;-)
