This documentary on the Global Financial Crisis makes me want to go to Iceland.

This evening my grandmother told me she liked me better when I was little. She said I was cute then, and always had a drop of drool on my chin.

I told her that I was still cute and that I could still drool if that would help.

Well, she said, I mean you used to be sweet.

But being sweet doesn’t get you anywhere, I replied sweetly.

Really? She asked me. Is that true?

My essay has turned into a reason why the fundamental assumptions of the question are problematic. I’m not a very good student.

Derailing my 2500 word European Studies essay with a discussion of semantics and etymology because who isn’t concerned about the significance of the “Middle Ages” as a retrospective designation?

Yesterday on the bus, a girl from my French class turned to me and told me, in her slightly affected Hong Kong English, that she liked my personality. She said that she didn’t trust many people now that she lived in a new country, but that she knew she could trust me.

I told her that she could.

Today my housemate told me that her girlfriend had broken up with her and that she wasn’t okay. She said she was sorry and she cried over the sound of The Biggest Loser on the television.

I made her some tea with honey.

So I’m moving out (yet again) which is pretty exciting. This time I’m moving into my sister’s house into a bigger room with much lower rent and super close to my new job. Speaking of which I did my first tutoring session today and Amy was really lovely and her English is actually really good despite the fact that she hates it and really prefers maths and science (and it’s her second language). I’m trying to coerce her into reading something other than scientific journals. Hopefully she liked me!

Can we actually just talk about how much I love Laura? I mean I really love her. She uses a course which could be hideously monotonous as a vehicle to actually attempt to educate people about important social issues whilst also covering the course content and being super inspiring and interesting. She’s really down to earth and great and she has a British accent and is actually pretty funny even though sometimes she tries too hard. I just really like her.

Today we had a really great IR lecture on gender theory and rejecting norms and discourses and Laura is my favourite lecturer ever I actually love her. In other news my French test was pretty rotten but I don’t care too much because I know I’ll pass at the very least and I have more pressing concerns like whether I should have spaghetti on toast or make a real meal.
