Looking back at the entry I posted last Friday ...
Needless to say, I did not accomplish any of the household chores on my list (although the washing machine is broken, so at least I have a good excuse for that one). Study-wise, I did quite well. I've bought all the books I need, planned my study for the next week, and listened to the recording of Dr Faustus. My first tutorial was on Monday, and it went rather well. We discussed Cleopatra, the first topic in the course book. The tutor seems very nice, and I came away feeling that I'd learned a lot. It was also good to be surrounded by other mature students, making me feel a bit less lonely. (And I felt better about my intelligence level when one of the other students said she thought Cleopatra had snakes for hair - that really is a special kind of special).
As for that short story, I haven't done any more work on it, and to be honest, I think it's going to stay on the back burner until I've got my head around my studying schedule - for now, OU comes first, and anything else is secondary.
Tomorrow Kris and I will be celebrating our third Valentine's day together. I'm cooking him a steak.
