After a long time....

First, I must apologize. I know I set up this blog with the intention of keeping everyone up to date on my adventures and well, since I haven't written in a while, I guess I'm not doing a very good job.

So, update. Since I got back from Germany, I've been working a ton at the Deli, trying to get a chapter finished and trying to fit in some random adventures here and there. They have been little adventures (a day trip to Glasgow when J's friend from Spain was visiting, a couple trips to Dundee just for kicks) but mostly I've just been doing school work and working at the deli, neither of which makes for good blog entries. I did get my first chapter in the beginning of May, had my review meeting with the department (they have decided to give me money next year, don't know how much yet but at least it's something), and am currently trying to finish my second chapter before I head back to Canada the end of June.

I am also currently homeless. I have a flat for next year but can not move into it until the end of June, and since I finished my contract at the end of May for the postgrad residence where I was staying, I had to find somewhere to stay for June. I am currently sleeping on the floor of J's room but will be staying in a friend of F's house with F starting Sunday. I've been living out of a suitcase for the last week and it's been not so bad. After all, my rent for June is free, and you can't complain about free.

Work at the Deli has been good. It's nice to be making British pounds, and it at least keeps me from going insane from spending too much time in the library. It sounds like I may be teaching a bit next year so I'll have to figure out how to balance this all out.

I am heading back to Canada for July, for two weddings. I get to spend a couple of days in Calgary with my sister, then head out to Saskatchewan for a wedding, then head to the coast to my parents house, then down to San Diego for the other wedding, then back to the coast, then back to Scotland. I'm looking forward to a little break and will not be bringing any school work back with me. It will be nice to have a month of no school work and get to see people again. Should be fun!

I think that's all for now. I will try and update more frequently now that my life is starting to calm down a bit.
