Memo to self: Going to a friend's house to get drunk on cider when you have to be at an airport at 5am in the morning... is not a good idea.  I woke up in some bizzare tipsy-after-drunk state, and then had the pleasure of being awake as the hangover symptoms developed.  By 7am I was resorting to "head between knees" while sitting in the airport ( Read more... )

So, the last three weeks have been rather lovely.  No study (except the odd bit of Italian/French) and whole lot of eating, snoozing and going to the cinema ("The kings speech" is indeed amazing, go see it).  Yep, it's been a nice Christmas ^_ ( Read more... )

Nine days till I go home for Christmas, for three weeks of luxurious nothing (other then stuffing myself on food, drink and good company), and one month till I jet off to Morocco ^__^  This means, in fact, that during the course of 1 year I will have lived in three countries.  Four if Ithings go my way and I manage to get a summer job in France ( Read more... )

Hello again LJ!  Apologies for being absent the past month or two, but I've been in internet limbo untill last week when I discovered how to steal my neighbours internet connection *maniacal laughter*.  Ahem.  To summarise the past while, things have being going pretty good, although, of course, interspersed with alot of time consuming, needless ( Read more... )

Busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, class, books, life, drink, magazine, languages, passed exams, failed exams, studenthood, the future...

Busy, busy, busy, busy...

At Univeristy, I have been in the midst of a beauracratic nightmare RE: Trying to enrol for my third year.

Seriously, if I have to stand in one more queue for one more office I think I am going to combust...

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM! XD Unemployment

On my last night staying in my Uncle's house he gave me some advice, in full on "if I was your age" format.

To quote him, China is the land of oppurtunity in the 21st century.  He advised me to enrol in a Chinese Uni to get in, and then start rolling from there.

This has very much planted the seed of an idea in ( Read more... )

Just two more days left of work and then I am rewarded once more with freedom, studenthood and unemployment.  These two months have gone like a gunshot, which is a slightly odd paradox considering there have been some afternoons at work (particulaly those towards the end of the week) that seem to drag on infinitely, yet run them all together in a 9 ( Read more... )

So, I've just finsihed my second week of work, and... how can I say this without sounding completely big headed?

I'm totally the "Young Hot Shot" of the office XD

Modesty Fail.

It's 7am on a Wednesday, I'm just a little hungover from the night before and I've got in front of me 9 till 5 of looking at a statistics report on the Mexican economy in Spanish: Yes, people I'm working!

This is actually day 8 of my first "official" job, and I have to say so far I'm really quite enjoying it, and I know that this statement, ( Read more... )
