Learning stuff

I had to make a tough decision today. The downside (yes, there is one!) of my exciting travel plans is that doing any study this semester is going to be virtually impossible – even though most of the time I’ll be away is during the university vacation, I’ll still be missing a week and a…

Meetup and moving

Well that turned into a busy sort of day. It started with a breakfast meetup at Trattorie, attended by me, lytteltonwitch, awhina, Mr awhina, meerkitten and giraffe02, and angela7715.

YAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More details tomorrow. (Between flashbacks of the movie (The…

And now the good news
