hope y'all are appreciating my stories...

hey again, just a quick message this time (really!) - i'm at "Fastnet" in town, which really is amazingly fast - i think i might faint from shock when i get home and use broadband though, it still takes a couple of minutes to load this page. And, excuses, excuses - but i can't even load my photos onto this computer, so you'll have to wait til i can borrow Katy's computer next week and try to post them then, or maybe email them if it takes too long to upload them.

One thing that may shock you is i'm actually jogging every morning!! i felt so unfit as we just sit around most of the day, and there's a football field and a rough field below that where nobody can see me or hear me puffing away as long as i go early enough....!

We had Susan's birthday yesterday - she's in my dorm, and also one of my trainee DTS staff, and she's lovely! Sadly, there was no time to make a cake, but it's Nixon's birthday on Weds so we'll try to recruit American Sarah who makes the BEST cakes ever...Tues is a free pm unless Sakeasi puts me on the rota to cook dinner. We're also having a "halfway-day" party in a couple of weeks (next week is week 5, the whole lecture phase is 12 weeks) So today I am laden down with a zillion party and cake-making things, the bus ride home should be interesting!! I have Pip with me though, she's staying over with us tonight, yay! And also Eeltje (pronounced "Iltsy") from Friesland who's on the Foundations of Community Development (FCD) course. It's fun having someone to talk about cows and Friesian horses to! And now all you unbelievers will have to accept that I didn't make up a country, Friesland really does exist and he is living proof!! (As if the Friesian cows, horses and sheep weren't evidence enough....what are you like?! hahaha)


ok now i have to go, or i'll be late back and might get told off!!

will keep working on the photos, i'm sorry! Hope you guys are all well, and enjoying your speedy internet and permanent electricity.....no, i'm not missing England that much really!
