Points of order.
Hello,
I came back from Malaysia at the beginning of the week.
School is basically officially over, with my FYP poster presentation done, all the loose ends tied up, and having tried my commencement gown on yesterday. I’ve yet to indicate my attendance and place an order for my gown though, so I better get to it. The poster presentation went by fine. The graduation night dinner was okay too, and I suppose I managed to settle a few things that I didn’t think I would be able to.
I’ve been busy clearing up admin matters and getting the house in order. Have also been meeting many people and enjoying myself in doses. I am looking to get back to work very soon. There actually are deadlines I have to meet so I better get to it. I think my mood is swinging very gradually in the right direction so with some luck I’ll be back at it real soon.
I’ve been doing a lot of revisiting lately. I rewatched my favourite Audrey Hepburn movie, Charade, last night in the new Criterion edition. I reread Vila-Matas’s Bartleby & Co. and have been rereading Gao Xingjian’s 《灵山》. I’ve also been listening to some of my favourite music.
I got my place to do an MA in Literary Studies. I’ve yet to officially accept it.
My copy of Radiohead’s The King of Limbs arrived in the mail and I have to say that the packaging is quite lovely and thoughtful.
My to-do list is immense. I’ve not seen such a massive to-do list since I last had… well, lots of things to do. But seriously, I put it down on my whiteboard and even as I’m cancelling things, new things keep surfacing. I don’t think this summer break is going to get any easier.
I got a new keyboard and mouse. I love my new keyboard and mouse. And mousepad.
Okay, I think I’ll get back to work now with the promise that I’ll be back blogging again with more frequency.
Of course, these promises… they are guilt-generating machines.
