Well, have been busy as usual and not really resting my voice at all!

Thursday night, had Latin & Ballroom over at Castle Leazes which is a right trek now! Then joined Tom et al at Mr Lynch's for Tom's pre-birthday drinks. Fri had my horrible 1-5 classes: 2nd Language Acquisition of French lecture, World Englishes seminar, 2-hour Spanish Liaison Interpreting seminar. Then went straight down to Sheffield with Mum to Jo & Simon's wedding party.

Got back yesterday and last night was Tom's post-birthday night out - Indian take-away and pizza first while watching the match, then to the Hancock, Bar 42 and Bulletproof at The Carling Academy. Today have been doing laundry, washing up, sorting out this internet, reading pages and pages on French SLA, and all my dossiers on the greenhouse effect for my French rapport de synthese. Done my Spanish-English translation (interestingly, also on the Goddam environment). Oh well, last week was a text re whisky distillation. Still have to do my powerpoint presentation on Englishes in the Southern Hemisphere, finish my v short presentation on C&A France, do all my week's readings for World Englishes and await confirmation from the President on this week's MLS socials so I can send out another newsletter. Oh, forgot about French SLA essential reading. Plus downloading Sanako for Spanish interpreting and recording my voice using the programme.

I hate final year!

Anyways, never made it to the careers service the other day, as spent ages sifting through all my hobsons and milkround emails in my hotmail inbox. Came across travellersworldwide.com, and have tentatively applied for teaching English in Argentina, and working at a hotel in Shanghai for next year......

Anna's doing a project involving asylum seekers for some reason for her artwork, and she needs to interview several French-speakers so she's asked if I will play interpreter! I said yes, of course, as it'll be GREAT practice for the exam in January.

Have a busy term coming up - espesh at weekends: next week is our house Halloween party, the weekend after I'm going down to London with modlangsoc for 'the languages show', going down again in mid-November to see Marie-Pierre and stay with Hels, end of November Ruth is coming up to visit, end of term I think we 're taking the society to Barcelona..... want to visit GC at some point......
