I just wrote a really long post and lost it when I tried to publish. Something a bit odd is going on with my internet connection.

I could try and remember what I said.

First of all I mentioned the fact that out of 47 e-mails in 19 hours to my spam account I've had 7 with .pif attachments. This is a new development and it intrigues me. I wonder what they do? They all have subjects like 'Re: Thank you!' and 'Re: That movie'. Interesting.

Secondly, the meeting on Wednesday was fine. He just wanted to make sure I was doing work and talking to Nick, which I am. But I have less than four weeks now to finish it all. Hmm...

He also gave me some marks back. I got 70% for my reconstruction portfolio, which is a distinction, so hooray! My GIS project made 66%, which is a relief, and I got 60-something for my drawing portfolio (I forget the exact number). Anything in the 60's is fine by me!

And we talked about the secret dig. I just have to get there, and he'll land cruiser me back to Leicester. Wow, a week of archaeological fun. It's been so long since I've been on a dig, it's a bit scary, but then I find most things scary. Ah well. He suggested I take my CV, too, and everyone can sit around the campfire drinking too much and deciding my fate. It's probably not the best way to decide on a career. ;)

When I said I had to go and buy BBQ food (Ali and I were off to a church small group BBQ type thing) he suggested I take something unusual. Like soup. He's quite amusing sometimes! ;)

Hmm... so I've been doing a lot of work. But there's too much to do. :(

Thirdly, Mark came round yesterday afternoon, with my birthday presents! He bought me the rest of the stuff on my wishlist and an Airzooka which he shot me with, a lot. But Ali and I got to watch his 'passing out' video, so we got a bit of payback. He looks very smart in his policeman's uniform. And his marching was lovely. :p

I haven't been on the internet so much in the evenings, because I've been spending a lot of time with Rob. Sometimes I wonder if we ought to spend so much time together, but I don't care.

I reckon it's impossible to know how good all this feels until it happens to you. *sigh*

You can tell me if I get too soppy. I think Rob's soppiness might be rubbing off on me.

Yikes!

I have been mostly.... WATCHING (TV): neighbours (bbc 1); firefly (scifi) / READING: the wee free men (terry pratchett) / LISTENING: soldier girl (polyphonic spree); since I left you (the avalanches); fashion nugget (cake) / PLAYING: star wars galaxies
