Hooray!

They changed the time on the Anthropology of Post-Soviet Eurasia course in the spring so I can take it! Well, or I inadvertently picked a different lecture or something. So I've ditched anthropology of media for it. (This is particularly important since it's being taught by the department's post-Soviet specialist, who would be the person I'd need to work with for a PhD. And the first advice we got on that was "figure out who would supervise you and go talk to them." All righty then.)

wow. I'm tired.

So, let's see. Today was my departmental orientation. It was mildly interesting in the midday. I found a nice place to study (I <3 libraries) in the afternoon, and had a social event in the evening. After spending an hour shouting at random people in the library and hall, five of us decamped to a nearby Korean restaurant for dinner. (Alas, they appear to have imported shitty meat special. Arg.) Then, Holborn tube was closed, gah, so I walked up to Russell Square and started a very long trip home (which ended up going the very long way around of first across Jesus Green and then through town and I don't even know what. I definitely, definitely did it wrong though.) And now I'm home and my child appears to have used every single dish today. Gah. I'm so freakin tired :(
