I fully intended to be cycling to uni at least once a week, but the weather and season are against me.

Resistance is, I'm told, futile!

One of the good things about cycling all the time is that you stop thinking about the alternatives. If it's pouring, I put my waterproofs on and grumble about getting wet feet (and increasingly, wet shoulders), but I'm not thinking that I wish I was driving (especially as I'm still whizzing past the traffic) or walking or bussing. You just get into the habit.

Questions to follow (may be after the weekend - I really need to get on with work stuff)

- Are you enjoying cycling? Would you cycle for pleasure, or just to get from place to place?
- Do you plan what you're going to read (not work/research reading)? If so, what's up next?
- How long is your hair now? Are still pleased with the shortness?
- If you could magically acquire competence in a particular hobby, without going through the frustrating learning stage first, would you? And what would you choose?
- Will you write my job applications for me? What anti-procrastination strategies have worked for you?

I see that you not only went to the same university as me, but took the same course. My Related Literature was Anglo-Saxon.

I thought about taking an Anglo-Saxon paper as well but couldn't quite find room for it. Did you enjoy it?

Very much - possibly because it was a positive choice rather than "eek! I haven't got good enough other languages", although I did do the Language Centre's Italian course for a year, which surprisingly left me decent reading comprehension of Italian. I quite fancied Old Icelandic as well, but likewise it didn't quite all fit.
