My 78 year old neighbour had no water and no heating. (we're talking about an isolated Pennine farmhouse here) So I went round and got his boiler going (blocked flue) mended the leaky plumbing and chopped him a load of wood. I've felt smug ever since.
I just finished my 12,000 word thesis proposal !...Well, first draft, anyway
needed to shout it out, silently. ;)
that was very thoughtful of you!
yes, bloody good neighbour, you are! have a pat on the back! :)
I did mean that in a good way. I dread to think of what happens to old neighbours when nobody helps them...
Yeah... and a lot of people dont help their elders anymore. its sad really.
today is my one month anniversary of not smoking. High five for me!!!!
Nice!Quote:

Now I just need that pesky approval of UJF. (Université Josepf Fourier)

good sir, you over estimate... ; ).
you bet so on my horse says:
nah, even when you were like 14 or something when i started talking to you i could tell you had this wisdom you don't find in regular people, a sense of adventure but along with it a sense of strict morals that nothing imposes except your own free will. what i was trying to convey i guess is that regardless of your actual age you could be 30 or 15, you're just you and i dig it
Uh. Wow. I was incredibly flattered. xD
Awww, BeccaT, must've been a nice convo!
I got my official acceptance letter and Student ID number from la Universided de Puerto Rico for the Master's program I applied to on Monday; I'm going to Puerto Rico to earn a Master's and learn Spanish and French! XD
Now I just gotta pray that I get some kind of financial aid and housing...
I'll pray for you too Shan, and cngratulations. :)
Congrats, Shanna!
I've just got invited to an interview for the teacher training programme in England. It's in May. They're inviting me although I don't really speak another foreign language (German being my first "foreign" language in this case.)
=D! We just bought a horse!
His name is Ted, and he is beautiful!
I'm going to work with him for a few months until he is ready to find a new, permanent home.
Congratulations!!! I am so envious. :DQuote:

I hardly managed to wedge in a word sideways in the group discussion because there was a French girl who talked nonstop. So I might have come across as a bit shy. The Spanish test was cool. I think I did great considering I've only been studying it for 3 months and this was my first time actually talking Spanish to anyone.
The interview went alright. I just kept talking. Of course, half of it was crap and I could have given better examples, but it's always like that in retrospect. Plus, I wasn't shy or nervous at all. Normally I'm a bundle of nerves in oral exams, so I think this went really well even if my answers weren't 100% perfect.
If I get accepted in this round, there'll be another round in June where the schools interview us.
I recieved the best overall mark in my psychology class of 400 people, and the best lab mark in my biology class.
I have a black belt.
I'm pretty good looking.
I live in a really cool little town in the middle of nowhere. It's a two hour drive away from any other town or city, on a mountain on the border between B.C. and Alberta. My town is the most interesting thing about my life.
Nice to meet you Juniper. Welcome to lit net. And that is fabulous on your grades and the black belt. Of course you being pretty is a nice thing too. :)Quote:

Probably NOBODY has a worse salary than I!
(Better to boast about it, because it'll change on June: I've got three new students. So, at the publisher, it's still going to be the worst salary possible, but, at least, I'll get some money, otherwise! :sick: )
