Hello all!
I'm back from the Study Sphere!
Today I had my big big English literature exam, the whole lot, from Middle Ages til now. 40 minutes of high-octane talking. But it's done. The big evil exam that I have been fearing for years is over. And I did really well, amazingly.
So I'm here, briefly. Because...today, finally...I was allowed (by myself) to buy the new Potter novel, and will be reading the same for the rest of the evening (though hopefully I will show another effort of restraint and will not read through the night as I usually do, to spare my boyfriend the annoyance :P).
So, yay to me, and yay to at least a couple of days of not doing anything for uni. Then it is paper time, then it is diploma thesis time. Go me!

Friends and football
I received a letter today from my friend Kris, who is currently doing research in northern Australia. (Thank you!)
For some reason she sent a football card. (Let me know why at some stage, eh? Not that I'm complaining or something. ;D) And lookie, it is a golden one! Very pretty, considering. It shows the (previously unknown to me) "Gold Trio" of Shane Tuck, Kane Johnson and Brett Deledio. I think their club is the "Richmond Tigers".
Now, if I had any idea at all about Australian football, maybe this would be even more exciting. Maybe someone who reads this knows them?
Also, do people actually collect these cards? Is there any chance this little card will make me rich and sponsor my lazy student lifestyle until I get very old and die?
Probably not.
Well, better hope my prof really wants to keep me at my current post as he said he possibly would yesterday. (Oh please, please, yes!)

Oh yeah, I also found this nice quote today:
"You make a living by what you get.
You make a life by what you give."
-Winston Churchill

Postcards
I have this strange urge to send postcards around the world.
So if anyone who reads this wants a/some postcard(s), or a letter with postcard included, or anything like that, let me know! Else I might soon subject the world to random acts of letter-writing!
Also, if randomness attracts you, why not try this?
Send a Message in a Bottle!

Nr. 25
I have now been 25 years old for a week.
Do I feel older? Do I feel worse? Do I hear my bones crack whenever I walk?
No, I don't feel older. I feel pretty good.
No, I don't feel worse. I feel so much better than last year.
Yes, sometimes I do hear my knees make funny noises, but they have done so for ages. :P
The last year, or let's say the last 11 months, have been so exciting, so much fun! So much has happened that it is almost incredible to believe, and all of it "just" because I finally got out of a non-working relationship. All the friends I've made! All the things I've learned, I've done!
I remember very well last August, when I finally made the cut, and started on GYS, and then suddenly got into contact with all these wonderful people. Some I only emailed with for a little while, while we were preparing our respective packages, but some people, well... I still read their blogs. I still admire what they do, and how they do it. I'm still in some form of contact with them.
I got reintroduced into the world of crafting, and even though it hasn't made me a crafter so far, because I have too many different interests (and loads to study) to be so in any serious way, I now have lots of ideas, lots of beautiful books, some plans, and - which is probably most important - I learned so much about the possibilities that are out there.
I also spent a lot of money on Etsy, but well, it was (mainly) money well spent. ;)
I want to thank everyone who has made a difference, and I think that is everyone who reads this blog.
And, well, although I know it is gushingly, cloyingly oversweet etc, I am happily in love. Next weekend it will be three months (13 weeks, exactly), and for a girl who, for ages, though that noone else (but her very weird first boyfriend) would ever love her, and that she could probably never find anyone nice ever, and didn't deserve to anyway etc etc, this is fantastic. This is amazing. This is so unbelievable that yes, I am counting the weeks, and yes, I do mark certain events in my calendar, and yes, I do post this on my blog even though it's probably silly.
I guess sometimes you just have to be a little silly.
Thanks everyone!
