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.
