This Other Edeni am simply swamped in work. what i thought to be the whole of supervision 1's work turned out to be, to my horror, one 6th of it. just how FAST does elliiot think people can read???!! i mean, he's a great supervisor and an absolute constitutional genius and everything, but HELLO!
in general though, My 1st wk back in cambrridge has been quite as expected. I’m already enjoying myself a lot more than last year, because I know what to do and what not to, and don’t waste my time and effort majoring the minors. The highlight of the week has been, of course, experiencing the joys of flat living, which, I suppose expectedly, has turned out to be a completely different balll game from living alone. Already, I can sense that there’ll be problems and I’m going to need an extra measure of sensitivity, tolerance and wisdom. Its going to be challenging, but well, that’s what flat life is like I guess. I think that as a whole, I chose pretty well, and of course living in a flat is a wonderful thing that I can tell I’ll really miss next year. Last night aran and lucy came over; we all sat in the lounge and chatted till1am, and it was nice and communal. jon's cooking tonight and I await in a mixture of excitement and dreading anticipation to see what he puts on the table.
this afternoon i met with some of the Camb isec bunch at newnham. Its really cool to see everyone in Cambridge. I can’t wait for this weekend, when the oxfordians come and we go to delirious. It will be great.
I miss the US bunch a lot though. I really want to meet up with them. can’t wait to go to the US next term.
