Not much to say
Well yesterday wasn’t too eventful. My tutorial actually went pretty well, I think. There were times I was floundering for an answer, but I think I gave some good contributions to the discusssion. He said our essays had some good stuff in them, but he didn’t have a whole lot of comments because they were both very brief. Which I knew mine was somewhat shorter than some previous ones, but it was still 2000 words. Next week, we’re looking at power by looking at China. I don’t have to write an essay, but I think that topic will help me somewhat on my thesis background information, so I’m excited about the reading for once. After the tutorial, I came back to my room and had a late lunch. We had had a tank session during my normal time for lunch, so I hadn’t eaten anything. I was really glad that my stomach didn’t start to growl during the tutorial.
Then I started to read econ, and fell asleep before dinner. I like economics, but reading an econ textbook never fails to put me to sleep. So I didn’t get as much done as I should have, and after dinner, the Final Fling Launch Party was happening, so I went to that. The description said, “The name says it all.” I had no idea what the point of the party was. It was apparently to announce to theme of the Final Fling, the end of the year dinner/dance thing. It’s going to cost 30 pounds without the meal and 45 pounds with the meal. Everything here is so expensive. I guess I’m going to go, but I might skip out on the meal portion. Ula told me rowing is cancelled for Thursday also. It had already been cancelled for Wednesday. So now we wait to hear about Friday, not that I’ll be rowing, but hopefully I’ll be able to cheer them on. I’m meeting with my econ tutor from last term, all of us are, about our collection results on Friday, so that might conflict, but hopefully not. So that was my day, nothing too exciting.
