"Grad school is hard," said Barbie.
Well, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but the fact is that I'm snowed under with essays (as opposed to actual snow) at the moment so I'm being a somewhat unfaithful blogger.
Right now I'm sitting in the library at school with a few members of the "nerd herd" (MA students). It's close to 8 PM which means it's been dark for about six hours already. :) (Have I mentioned how early the sun sets here?)
Let's see...what can I update my faithful blog-readers (both of you) about?
Attended my first-ever UK office Christmas party with a friend and her boyfriend. Everything you hear about UK office Christmas parties is absolutely true. It was at a Greek restaurant so you know we got to break stuff. :) I leaned over and told my friend S* who is also Jewish, "Now ya see, that's the difference between our culture and theirs...there's no way my mother would ever let me smash perfectly good plates."
Recently got interviewed on BBC Radio, but that's a long story. :)
Saw Kevin Spacey and the Archbishop of Cantebury switch on the Christmas lights down the street from where I work. I tried to convince a co-worker to yell out, "Kaiser Sozey!" while Kevin was speaking, but he wouldn't. Chicken.
Have finally discovered the fantastic Indian food that everyone says is here but which had hitherto gone un-found by me. I was beginning to think it was just a myth, but oh, was I wrong. Speaking of which, you know what's kinda fun? Thinking up names of songs and twisting them with names of Indian dishes, i.e., "Korma Chameleon", "You Can't Curry Love", and well, you get the idea. OK, maybe that's more fun (not to mention more challenging) with a few glasses of wine. :)
OK, back to work for me.
