World Update #6

It's 7:30 on a Tuesday night and I'm still at work. We've just been pottering

around trying to clear up the month after year end and it's been a nightmare.

We are not finished yet but tomorrow is another day - I've had enough for one

day.

Unfortunately I have just missed a train so I'm here for a another 1/2 hour

before I can start the 1hr journey to get home. Hence the time to bash out

another email.

My english lessons are going well. Today I got a paper from the examining board

with not letter attached to it so I wasn't sure what it was for. Further

examination surprised me as it was the readings for the Summer 98 exam! ie the

exam I am about to sit. These english people are weird!

I still have some work to do on the poetry stuff as it is well beyond me. Also

there is a speech to do. I have to prepare for two speeches and on the day they

will tell me which one I am going to do. Yuck - I hate speeches.

Ultimate is progressing. We had our first practice last Sat and guess who's the

coach? Yup it's old big mouth himself. Not sure how long that will last as I'm

not getting much study done at the moment and I have some big travel plans for

summer.

Speaking of which I'm off to NY, Maui and Phili on Monday. It's hard to believe

the trip is finally here. Simon (my english mate) and I have been planning this

for so long that it seemed like it was never going to happen.

Two weekends ago I was in Wales playing ultimate indoors and I got a bump on my

head. It's a long story - one worth telling - but I've already written it up

and it's on Carol's (flatmate) computer at home. I'll fetch it and biff it at

ya.

It's now after the holiday and I'm back into work/study mode. More to come on

the US trip soon.
