Yeah, this blogging malarky is a lot harder to keep up than I thought! Kudos to those who manage frequent updates! Anyhow, here's a roundup (no particular order...just the bits I remember of the two weeks since the end of term and now...)
1. Survived two extra weeks in Oxford. It wasn't fun (in the library 9-7pm everyday!) and I'm definitely glad to be back in good ol' London!
2. I've managed to find a use for my flights which I had booked previously! Although my dissertation could not be saved, I could still save a trip abroad as I found a teaching post in Yunnan province! Unfortunately, still lost a bit (understatement) of money but at least I'll have accommodation now and still get to go abroad! YEAH!
3. Unfortunately, this teaching is with really young kids so no interviewing them = no going back to my pre-prepared dissertation on education + career aspirations! Hence I'm now just pursuing on my 'virtual geographies' topic...
4. Michael Jackson - was pretty shocked when I found out (late - a whole day after it happened?!); it's only in hindsight and with all the tribute videos that I realised how many great songs he made...
5. As I said before, really glad to be back in London; just got back yesterday for a family barbie, a tradition for my middle sister's birthday. It's just great to be home.
6. Sorting out my new travel plans/insurance etc for my now confirmed trip to Yunnan. *Really* excited!
7. Watched one of the few Wimbledon matches this tournament :( ....but seriously, of all the matches I could've watched, this men's final was EPIC. WOW. I was pleased Federer won due to the history of the moment but felt sorry for Roddick as he's only won the US open in 03...he could've achieved more but a person called Federer came along...I hope he wins Wimbledon SOME day but pleased for Feds today!
