So...language exams are evil evil things and I don't actually have time to write a full entry. However, these should keep you busy for a time ( Read more... ) -

Has it been a week already? I'm going to come back and think that I've only been away for weeks rather than months ( Read more... ) -
Antics and Escapades
Er...so the daily thing sort of went out the window about the day after I got here and it appears the weekly thing is barely squeaking through. I'll try, I promise! Now if I can only remember everything I mean to relate in the past week ( Read more... ) -

Flights were long and boring--exactly how I like them and I am always amazed that a) the EU has NO customs. Seriously, I sort ( Read more... )
