It's getting hard to think of titles for these things...

Hello all! (If anyone is actually reading...which I can't tell. If you are, please comment sometimes so I feel less like I'm cybertalking to myself. I can, and do, talk to myself perfectly well in several languages without the use of the internet.)

I have changed my mind about what degree to do. It has now become perfectly obvious to me that I simply must study Skandinavistik/Nord-Europa Studien. You get to do two languages: one of Swedish/Danish/Norwegian, and one of Finnish/Icelandic, as well as stuff about the Culture and Politics and shit of Scandinavia. Sounds well fit. And alongside I could still do a few hours of Sozialwissenschaften every week as a Beifach. Since I'd only be doing the first year of it, it's overwhelmingly language work. Yay! New languages make me happy. And FINNISH! Fit. That way I could do Finnish at uni, try and find someway to actually get half decent at Hungarian and then do a fourth year dissertation on Uralic languages. Plan? Plan.

I am also happy to annouce that I received post today. This makes me feel very at home here. even better the post was a BanhCard and a fabulous photo collage from Claire. These both make me happy as friends and trains are both very special to me. :-) All I'm waiting for now is my stupid German Sim-Karte from bloodyrubbish Simyo. Despite ordering it over two weeks ago it had still not turned up, and then yesterday I get an email saying it had been returned due to an incorrect address. Fools. The Handy I ordered on the same day got here just fine. AGES ago. Humph.

As a final thing of note: I stayed up all night! Drinking! But mainly being OUT. As in in a place that's not my flat, not as in being gay. I find this very exciting. To have been in a bar until gone seven makes me feel very much like a city-resident. Especially as it was a Tuesday night. That worst of nights. I'm so hardcore.

Anyhoo, comment people! Otherwise I'll hang myself.

Love you!

Bryn
