Ho hum;
The bad news: My new passport won't be here in time, so the Copenhagen trip I booked for this weekend is not happening.
The good news: I got through three amazing tutorials today that reaffirmed my reason for being here. Also, I discovered white chocolate mocha with soy milk (no extra cost) available in the school building closest to my hostel, and I got a positive response to a request made this morning. Joy!
I'm now waiting for the rain to stop before walking over to Belgrove for dinner and in the interim I've decided to do the Q&A thing Sandra did. Of course mine will be no where near as fascinating as hers but I'll just answer candidly - the first thing that comes to mind! It's impossible for me to keep to one-word answers because I have an inborn tendency to be long-winded and it's a pain for me to edit myself (explains why I can't tweet successfully), so short phrases will have to do.

Anywhere with sunshine and loved ones. There is only wind and rain in Dublin, and the sun - obscured by clouds most of the day - sets at 4.47pm.

Auden. I love how it sounds so austere.

Have children.
What is your favourite story?

Which language is the most beautiful to you?
