Mini-update
5 March 2006 17:47Trends essay at 2200 words. A final push this evening to make it 2500 and I will be content!
I am possibly silly - after having acknowledged I'm pushing exhaustion point, I go and pull a 21-hour day. Aah well, I slept in till half past 2 today to make up for it, and I feel peaceful, organised and comparatively awake.
Yesterday was a very very long, very very expensive but very, very fun day. CTS coach party may (and are probably entitled to) laugh when I tell them I got back to my room at 11:15pm. However, the seats in trains are comfier, and I got another page or two of AIHL* written (which couldn't have happened on a roadgoing vehicle). I will write up Saturday when I'm feeling industrious.
There was also the EU Elf masquerade, which was fantastic and lots of fun, and also slightly ironic in a generally encouraging way. *grins* Hopefully a who's who list will be circulated soon! :D :D
Apparently one of my high school PE teachers collapsed and died recently. Which made me sad, as he got married to an English teacher while I was still at the school, and they had a baby together I think. He was only 30-something. He didn't teach me much, as most PE lessons at that school were split-sex, with male teachers for boys and female teachers for girls, but I mostly preferred the male teachers.
*This probably doesn't sound like much, but at the rate AIHL progresses... It might also be worthwhile for me to point out that only about 50% of the AIHL that exists has been beta'd and posted. I could prepare and post more chapters, but I'm lazy and I like the buffer of having ~5-6 written but unposted chapters!
