Late first post of the New Year
So, a week into 2007, and what have I done?...
Well, I re-read the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant (when is he gonna bring out the second book of the last series? When?!), got forms to apply for the dole, aaaaand - that's it. I decided not to start revising the thesis until Amy and Sharon were back at school cos after being away from it for so long, I need the peace of being the only person in the house in order to get back into it again. That, and I'm lazy.
Sharon hasn't got a place in Glasgow, though they've put her on a waiting list. But she's got another interview lined up with Nottingham University. Apparently it's unusual for veterinary applicants to get two interviews. The Nottingham interview is more awkward cos it means booking flights and accommodation and finding our way in a big strange city. It's also an all-day affair so I don't know what I'm supposed to do while Sharon's getting introductory talks, campus tours and practical aptitude tests (which according to Sharon consists of, "Here, hold this strange cat and don't let it scratch you").
Anyway, I have to go book flights.
