I have been very busy in the past week, the third year work makes it seem like I have hardly any spare time compared to the last two years. Nonetheless I went to Hadrians wall on Sunday, and got back in time for the end of Martin Stutzers farewell service, and the chatting in the flat afterwards.

This evening I am going away on Chaplaincy Time Away, which means that during the last couple of days I've been trying to fit in the work I would normally do over the weekend, and had to miss Christian Fellowship as a result.

I have got my time table for the 2nd half of this term which starts a week on monday, and I'm going to be even busier with 4 more hours of lectures a week, so I probably won't be going away at the weekend again.

Wednesdays have become my sundays. Really. I don't have any lectures, and over the weekend I have to do work to be in each Tuesday, as well as doing the PA in the chapel on sunday, so Wednesdays are my only real day off. I keep expecting everywhere to be empty, because I forget that everyone else is having a weekday.

Woah, I now realise I have a whole month left unblogged.

The house has not been too wonderful. The landlord had not fixed the light, cold tap and deep fat fryer like he said he would, and in addition to that water occasionally drips from the bottom of the water boiler onto the work surface, and the curtains in my room have fallen down such that I can't put them back up. I haven't been able to go to Doncaster and get my TV and VCR, but fortunately Helen brought her TV. The picture is a bit fuzzy however, I think the houses' aerial is dodgy.

The Maths has been very difficult, but fortunately I don't have too many lectures this term. I don't know what it will be like next term.

My Computer has behaved itself since Dad fixed it. I've managed to get a 16Mb AGP graphics card for it which is better, because there is now point in having a 32Mb slow grahics card when my monitor only goes up to 1024x768. I might try and get a graphics card with a TV output so we can play DVDs on the TV in our house. MY computer is not connected to the internet because my housemates have decided it's not worth connecting the landline.

Money has been tight, as I didn't do any paid work over the holidays. I have resorted to shopping in Aldi(a sort of German version of Kwik Save). Hence the TV out graphics card idea is unlikely to become reality...

My parents are moving house to Wakefield, and so that's where I will be going home to at Christmas.
