As I warned last week on this very blog, this week was a bit crazy! But now I have a chance to catch my breath. I’ve just given my third Rotary speech of the week (this week was: Rugby Dunsmore, Erdington, and Rubgy). I had a marvellous time at all three events, and made even more Rotary contacts! ***ok, seriously? Marvellous is spelled with two 'l's' here? I'm doubting my American-British english dictionary right now*** And I got more events to fill my calendar! One of them is a stroke awareness project of Rugby Dunsmore where they take peoples blood pressure as a stroke prevention tool. An issue I’m very passionate about, I was thrilled to hear that I can join them at their next blood pressure screening day to help out.
Coming up is a Rotary charity walk from one of the local(ish) clubs- a charity walk in the Cotswolds in early May. I can’t wait. The scenery should be spectacular, the company even better, and hopefully the weather will be tolerable. Do I sound like an English person or what? Apparently I’m adjusting.
I’ve finalised my topics for all my coursework for this my final term of my masters degree. I’ve got two essays and one project to complete by the end of April. My goal is to get at least a detailed outline for all three done this weekend, if not a bit of writing as well. We’ll see... haha. As regular readers of this will realise, I’m often much too optimistic about what I am to get done on weekends as I’m typically travelling around England. But this time I really do need to work, as I’m off to see Phantom of the Opera on Monday evening in London, and then on Saturday the 14th I’m off to Liverpool for the day. And the week after I’ve got symphony tickets! Busy busy, just the way I like to be.
I’m sitting on a train writing right now, on my way back to Coventry from Rugby. It’s a short trip, 11 minutes according to the schedule. Through beautiful countryside with lots of sheep. The sky is spectacular today, with large puffy clouds that just add to the ambiance (sorry, no meteorologist here to use the scientific terms- are they cumulus clouds? that's the only kind of cloud I remember from middle school). I’ve hated the clouds of late because there have been so many I’ve not seen blue sky for awhile. But today is an exception. I can’t wait for it to warm up a bit more so I can sit in a park with a picnic and a good book.
OK, back in Cov now. Just heard some election results for our student union elections. Pretty much the people I wanted to win did win... but we're still waiting on the race I'm most interested in- SU President. Apparently there were MORE complaints filed today against the opponent of the candidate I'm supporting, and they're not releasing results till Wednesday as a result! How am I supposed to wait that long? This is feeling like Florida...
