Life Since Last Post

It's been uneventful. Uni's plodding along as usual, I've had a few assignments due and am trying to crack down on my other ones. There's not a heap of work on, which I'm thankful for. I love the people there, and have made some awesome friends.

MY DAY: Today I went in for my 3-hour Literary Theory class. It takes me about an hour to get to uni (walking and train) so I got there about 10 minutes before class started. About half the class was already there. We were scheduled to have an in-class test and a guest lecturer so I started going over my notes.
10 minutes after class should have started, the lecturer still hadn't shown up. Turned out, our usual lecturer had 'had an accident' and all classes had been cancelled. Trekked it back home, great fun. But I did get to spend quality time with Mum, which was nice.

I can't believe it's April! This year's going so amazingly FAST.
I've had a few more issues in the health department, I need to go back for ANOTHER ultrasound :/ and got a bit sick from the iron supplements I was taking. Been really tired lately. Not fun.

Family are still wonderful. My brother's on a retreat somewhere (no one knows where). My sisters are doing well at school and uni. Friends aren't so great...not all, just a couple...more like one... But I've realised it doesn't matter anymore and that there's so much to focus on than why one friend doesn't seem to care about me anymore. While it's upsetting, it's starting to become less important.

I'm currently reading a book called 'Deaf Sentence' by David Lodge. It's a fictional story about a retired linguistics professor suffering from incurable deafness that worsens with age. Really, really funny, and a wonderfully good read.
I recently finished 'How I Live Now' by Meg Rosoff. It tells the story of 15-year-old, anorexic, self-absorbed Daisy, who is sent from her home in Manhattan to stay with cousins in the remote English countryside. The story is set around the outbreak of a fictional world war and revolves around the children's ability to survive when their idyllic lifestyle is torn apart. Great read.



A nice picture I found.

Till next time :)

Peace.
