done some reading, and now about to start nailing ideas down for the
three essay things I've got coming up. In a really positive mood,
hopefully will do something good tonight- dinner with friends, pub
maybe.
Been thinking about just how quickly time here is flying by- we've
been here almost a month already, and it simultaneously feels like we
just arrived and like we've been here for an age. Settled in to
looking after myself, and adjusting to the kind of work University
entails. But still haven't visited the stunning lake on campus (or
booked my gym induction). On the other hand, I have registered at the
doctors AND bought tickets for James Bond night.
Came across a hilarious site earlier: http://palinaspresident.com/ .
The scary thing is, it's all true; Also watched a speech she gave (on
CSPAN) the day after the final debate- which I thought was pretty
close- and all she does is screech on, say 'maverick', and attempt to
smear Obama as unpatriotic or disrespectful of US soldiers.
Pathetic really- in my book, what these men and women need is a
respect for democracy (what they're purportedly defending)- and thus a
respect for debate and a commitment to treating opponents in a fair
way. Not silly slanders.
