Last post was very temperamental so gave up on it - will get some more photos on here soon.

So last week I was very naughty - didnt go to Spanish translation, Spanish writing or Spanish syntax. Did go to French writing and three quarters of French literature, however. Have now finished two of my four books for French lit - la Vagabonde by Colette and l'Amant by Marguerite Duras, also watched a TV interview with Duras.

Last tues had a disastrous selection day in the Union for graduate fasttrack - have def decided graduate training is not for me - any company with that vigorous and impersonal a selection process is not the right company for me! Had a final rehearsal for salsa in the eve. Weds went out w Jenna and Catherine for a meal at Wagamamas and then out for a drink at the Charles Grey. Thurs was the IGf - v good. Went to the start of the unoffical afterparty at Reds bar before coming home while the young whippersnapper firstyears headed on into town!

Fri morn we (Mary, Anna and I) left to go down to Staffs in Mary's car to see Vik for the weekend. Had a chilled out fri night eating Vik's mum's yummy home-cooked Chinese and had a good catch-up. Sat morn we went for a walk in Bishops wood, then had Staffordshire oatcakes for lunch before heading to the pub to watch the rugby. Went out last night in fancy dress (my costume was definitely the stupidest and I deepy regretted leaving the house after a while!). Went to Wetherspoons and the Crown & Anchor. Left there about 12 today and got back just before 5, supposedly in time for me to go to the London rehearsal, except I didnt go and went to bed instead. Have been reading l'Amant and learning German this eve.....
