Better

Have not posted much of late for recently many things were just too depressive. I am very well, and was well, but I did not feel well for some reasons. We have had the darkest and most Dickensian and depressive November that I can remember. There was no sun for three weeks and autumn grey mists making it still darker in these short days! A groupmate of mine was killed in a car crash about four weeks ago, does one have to die so young? And when I think of her family... It still makes me unbearably sad. And then, all the news about accidents. And the new flu virus. The Uni was closed for about a week to prevent the virs spreading. But I guess there was more panic and politics to it than real danger. Since the black colour here recently.

Now it's at last frosty, and there lays a thin layer of snow sparkling either in the sun (we do have some sunlight from time to time now, even if the days are short!) or in the light of street lanterns.

It's last week of classes before winter exams at the Uni, tomorrow I am having 3 hours of doing nothing but seing to it, they do not talk when taking the translation test. Then... there will be doing something.. Checking 11+ 16х2 papers by Friday. And then... the evening class writing their papers next week. Love most of the evening class, they are so cute!

The holiday season is not far off, and I am having immence pleasure in drawing Christmas motifs for handmade cards, or to be put into bought cards, if I fail (again) to make the cards myself this year!

There was also a little photographing binge yesterday, after many days, but I am not it the mood of putting anything up here now. They were not that great, most of them, either. Ny camera begins to disappoint my expectations.

Off to print out test papers!

One more thing: I have up the Glass Castle novel around the middle, I just could not be doing anything after the sad news. But I'll finish it!

Yet something more: I did order the fan charm! And the Jane one! And a red edition of Winchester "Emma". It's a Christmas present for myself to myself, and an attempt to cheer up! Just imagine wearing the treasures around the festive season :-)
