One Month

I think I have listened to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds so much I am now convinced that a Martian attack is right around the corner. If I do start humming 'The Eve of War' when I'm with you, please tell me to stop. Like wise you must tell me to stop singing of the incredibly catchy tunes from Weebls Stuff, as Im sure I am going to annoy someone before long.

One month? Until what?!?! :)

So how am I doing? Dandy. All is well at the moment as far I can report. The work for my course is getting heavy not to mention a lot tougher. However I am enjoying it, which is really baffling me. Never before have I wanted to look through a challenging text like Thomas More's Utopia 'just for fun'. In fact, I can't wait to read Plato's Republic either. Dare I say it, have I become a bookworm?!?!?!?

A shoutout needs to go to Emma who very kindly grabbed a book for me at Swansea Uni. This inparticular book was nowhere to be had all over South East Wales; all 9 copies taken out of Cardiff Uni, no copies in the Newport and Glamorgan unis, plus not even one in any of the public libraries in Cardiff, Newport, the Vale, Caerphilly or even the Rhondda. In Swansea however, there were 14 copies there for the taking! Funny that! Thanks again, Em!!

My new favourite online book store is Swotbooks.com. Prompt delivery and good prices! What more can you ask for!!!

My last point on this small post is the passing of Irish legend, George Best. I wish I had the opportunity to see him play as he was a footballing wizard, which was destined to be one of the all time greats. Thing is, he very much was a great, despite a short career in the game. Sadly the media have not helped the situation by immense overexposure. The papers had already pronounced him dead for us despite the few additional hours he still had fought for himself. Shame on the British media once more and their fanaticism with the celebrity. Rest in Peace George, now that you have actually gone.
