hello world
Good god - is it May already?
Note to self: must stop living in hole, under rock, and just generally start being a person again.
We'll see how long this lasts. One on hand, I now have my computer here in Wales, and if I set it up in Dave's room I have free internet access. On the other hand, though, when I've set it up in Dave's room, I'm usually too busy to update. He's in Manchester now, for a conference, and I have some time to goof off.
So, things are really quite good. Paris, Edinburgh, etc., were all lovely. As was Bath, and seeing western Wales with my parents. Having come home to Swansea, however, I've been totally caught up in schoolwork, and writing a Dylan Thomas paper. Lectures are almost over for me, but I won't finish finals until the 2nd of June. But mostly I'm glad I got the paper in, as actually handing it in turned out to be almost as hard as writing it! Apparently, as I discovered an hour before it was due, one paper copy is not good enough. You need two paper copies AND a copy on floppy (hehe - copy on floppy rhymes!). But yeah - who even uses floppy disks anymore, except the English department? It took forever to find someone with a floppy drive. A pox on English departments!
But now, I really must stop camping out illegally, siphoning off Dave's internet. Cheerio!
(and yes, people really do say that sometimes...)
