Well, I am an awful journaler.

I have been very busy of late, you see. At the moment I am writing a 3000 word essay about wooden sculptures in Papua New Guinea. I am also warming my feet on the radiator ( Read more... )

I have discovered a fellow housemate who has the same love of retelling the many morbid deaths of Rasputin. We have as a team retold it possibly twice before tonight.

They have free music on Fridays, in the house I'm living in!!! I also got to sneak down and tune my violin with the piano that's sitting in the foyer. There's a piano in the foyer! A concert ( Read more... )

I had my first class today. It was mostly an introductory thing. I am beginning to see the scale of the thing I'm taking on - it seems immense and difficult. Well...I am not here for a holiday, I suppose. I am here to WORK and SUFFER and look at OLD THINGS. (yyyyaaaayyyyyyyy ( Read more... )
