Too darn hot
I'm sometimes referred to as someone who can go on about a topic for a long time without interruption. Whether that is considered a positive or negative thing is up to every individual to decide. In fact, it wasn't until I started university that I learnt to elaborate on little details.
At this point in my studies I'm taking great advantage of this. I'm currently working on an empirical study on genitive constructions with regard to New Zealand and British English. I've been working on spreadsheets, prior research and Chi-square calculations for weeks to achieve the most genuine and representative result possible.
I've now started work on wording the coded data which is going to measure about 15 pages.
I'm supposed to hand it in by August 15 but I will have to finish it at least two weeks earlier as I'm leaving for the States at the end of July.
I don't have much time to breathe at the moment but it might be that the current pressure makes the prospect of the upcoming holidays even more exciting.
Next Friday I'm going to write my Portuguese exam. I'm proud to say that I have 100% attendance and I'm well-prepared. I've studied hard and without a real break over the past few months.
Yesterday, I wrote my final essay for the written expression course which is conducted by a journalist from Birmingham. I was quite satisifed with the result (I wrote a detailed report on the current situation in Iran with regard to media censorship) until I learnt that it had become much too long and I was obliged to cut a few paragraphs which kind of mutilated the whole thing.
In a few weeks it will finally be over and I can go back to the States. I will start the Blondie tour in either Albuquerque or Memphis.
Yesterday, I bought a front row center ticket for the Blondie show in Winterhaven. It came up on the venue site right away which really made my day. I now have most of my tickets for the tour. There are a few gaps in between the concerts and I will have to see if it's still possible to obtain good tickets for those shows. I will keep trying to make it possible. I'm looking forward to each of the shows and there are some particular places I'm especially excited about. I'm positive that it's going to be a very adventurous tour across the United States full of beautiful moments and amazing places. And what's of course most important of all: I will see Debbie almost every night. That will be heavenly. I can't think of anything more beautiful in the world than that.
The next day after the Brooklyn show on August 14 there will be a Tori Amos concert which I think is quite a coincidence. I bought myself a ticket in case I want to go. The show in Cincinnati on the 15 will be seated so it don't need to line up early which means I can travel to Ohio on the same day.
I really enjoyed watching the little tour interview with Debbie, yesterday. She is absolutely cute in it. It made me smile much.
I hope that she had a very wonderful birthday.
