Ego Boost

I discovered this week that being asked out on a date (dinner and a movie) is rather a nice ego boost! Yep - I was completely taken aback when a fellow student asked me out, and I didn't quite know how to respond. Garry is of course suitably impressed :)

Transit of Venus


the transit of venus Posted by Picasa

Our Book Group is reading "The Transit of Venus" this month. I've read about a third of it and am slowly starting to appreciate Shirley Hazzard's style. At first I was quite irritated by her sentence structure - almost as if certain paragraphs and sentences were little puzzles to be solved by the reader. However, I have gotten used to that now and am beginning to enjoy her writing more. I'm looking forward to seeing what the other book group members thought of it....

Still Kickin'

Yes, I'm still alive and kicking.

University has hit like a ton of bricks - we are all in adaptation mode right now.

At least we can rest safely in our beds now that I know how to wash my hands properly :)

First exam is on March 31st!!

Better go and study (ahem, ahem).
