Now that I'm hardly ever alone, here at home, I no longer have the luxury of hearing my own thoughts. Hence, my post today will be shockingly concise, even though there's lots of exciting news to share (only Liesbeth is more or less in the know - well, she and my boy D, obviously).
(Leasle, remember to breathe - it is definitely not what you're thinking)
I guess we'll have to wait for Monday, when I get more info and get really over-excited. So much so, that I'm confident the gentle, yet ever-babbling voices in the living room, will be temporarily blocked within the realm of my head, clearing the path for the sound of me.
Till then, then & love to all

The sound of me & anticipations of over-excitedness be damned, here goes (patience is definitely not my forte):
It has been confirmed to me on Thursday that, as long as I'm still an official student, I am allowed to drop one dissertation topic for another. And so, I have contacted one of my fave uni teachers of old - not yet a professor, the lad's all of 30 years old- and I'm taking an extra long lunch break on Monday, so as to see him and discuss the dissetation I will be writing, with him as my supervisor.
The two things that excite me most are:
1. I get to write a dissertation in the field of English literature (which, I have come to realise/admit to myself, turns out to be my most enduring passion), wih a topic I have selected myself (DM Thomas' White Hotel and the aesthetic/moral ideas of TS Eliot on the one hand and Adorno on the other - maybe a bit of Eco thrown in, to mix it all up)
2. I like SC personally, and I know I would never treat him the way I've treated the professors I admired, but only knew from afar.
(3. Having contemplated dropping out entirely, I no longer feel the pressure to deliver for my dear dear friends or anyone else not named A.A. - euhm... make that Anna A., 'coz there's two of us, I always seem to forget)
peace, and Leasle, it's absolutely lovely to have you back xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
