Here's an update on what I've been up to lately.

• Heart-sitting my new-ish housemate. My male housemate is in a rather complicated relationship with an Iranian lady. The latest in a chain of events is that they have broken up and he has gone to Spain. She now lives in our house and has had a really bad time coping.
• Finding a new room: while I get along with my housemates pretty well and we actually socialise more since the above events, I feel somewhat cut off from my uni friends. I also believe my studies would benefit from me living closer to uni. Therefore I've been keeping my eyes open for a suiting room for three weeks or so. However, so far nothing has come of it. There was one room/flat I really liked, but they chose someone else. I've got two rooms left to look at. Since the whole thing kind of stresses me (it's just too much on top of everything else), I might let the search rest if those don't work out.
• Re-thinking my research design for the ump-tieth time. *sigh* I have a meeting with my supervisor on Monday. I hope he'll give me thumbs up. Please John!
• General socialising. After hearing so often 'Oh, it's great that you're here! I so rarely see you!' half a dozen times, I gathered people perceived I wasn't around much. So I try to change that. Thus also the room search.

What I don't manage to do:

• Writing my fanfiction.
• Answering letters.
• Reading.
