recant

ok the book idea was stupid.
i blame hotel rooms.

anyways.

in other news, i handed in my first post-grad essay today! yay! 4000 words on how the war on terriers has affected development. it was light and cheerful - for sure. with hindsight, not a great topic to be immersed in during the most depressing month of the year but luckily, it was obama getting sworn in so that saved the day.

and my new class is looking good. It's called punishment and justice, and i took it primarily because dostoevsky was on the reading list and i always wanted to be the sort of person who read dostoevsky and never got around to - you know - actually reading him. ditto kafka. and you know, it's very good! of course you know. i didn't, though. the literature portion is only 2 weeks - the rest is law, philosophy etc - job's a gud'un, as my lovely mancunian facilities manager would say.

other than that - just january. and a job that looks unfavourably upon hibernation. bastards.

Dostoevsky...well aren't we all intellectual. :)

As for hibernation - I hear you. I could very well curl up under the duvet until March when it finally warms up a bit around here. It's been weeks of minus dickety two weather here and I'm going a bit loony I'm afraid...
