Life

Apparently this blog is to tell people what’s happening in my life, so quickly:
- Our bath problem is much worse. Having mentioned the fact that it drains very slowly several times in maintenance requests, I timed it again yesterday. A full bath took one hour and 26 minutes to drain. I kid you not. A full, correctly draining bath takes less than two minutes to fully empty. Obviously, ours is not one of these.
- I’ve been spending a lot of time watching the World Cup (no kidding, you say), although less so in the last four or five days…
- Kate and I had our 6-month anniversary on Saturday. I got some more of Kate’s favourite perfume – Shiseido’s Relaxing Fragrance – and we had some nice
Laksa pastaPad Thai for tea, made by my amazing wife. Well, I enjoyed it, but the shrimp sauce was a bit overpowering for Kate - I have an exam Thursday at 5.45pm, my only one this semester. In my Newsroom Operations course I missed out on a 7 (highest grade) by 3%. I lost 10% of my overall grade (91%) by handing in the two assignments late, but had I handed them in on time I wouldn’t have got the grades I did.
- Before next semester I have to decide whether to persevere with French, or go with a new major where I will likely lose credits for two French classes. That major will be European Studies if I take it, although leaving French is palpable failure to me.
- I’ve applied for membership at my church. It doesn’t change a great deal the way I fit in there since I’ve been committed for a long time, just not officially.
- I can’t think of any other dot points right now, so that is my very quick update.
