The time is coming
Probably this will be my last post of the year, and I really don't know why I am here writing when I should be studying!
Estuardo just told me (as a "pleasant" surpirse) that the oral examination for my first year will be on December 13th, which is a rather... inconvenient time. The next 2 weeks are gonna be busy as hell, so I'm trying to make a brief schedule:
Tuesday 5th: Christmas lunch with the people from the lab.
Wednesday 6th: Packing for Mexico (yes, even though I leave on the 14th!)
Thursday 7th: Packing for Scottland.
Friday 8th to Monday 11th: Trip to Edinburgh (staying in a pretty B&B owned by a funny mature Scottish couple).
Monday 11th (yes, the same day I return!): Performing in the Ashburne Christmas concert (Abdelazer by Henry Purcell;) and most likely meeting Elinio and Cha-Cha.
Tuesday 12th: Receiving Celia, possibly having a pre-Christmas lunch with Monica and Mr Shepherd, and starting Manchester tour with some Ashburians of yore.
Wednesday 13th: First year viva in the morning (aaaahhhhh!!!!!), 2nd part of Mancunian tour in the afternoon, Christmas carol service in the evening (receiving Mr. Angus Beef) and then pre-Christmas dinner.
Thursday 14th: Flight to Mexico.
Considering that I need to study for my exam (cos I don't intend to cancel any social activity), pay the TV licence for Ashburne Hall (bloody stupid committee!), get the last Christmas presents for my family, revise a bit my violin piece and submit the last draft of a paper... I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY I KEEP TYPING!!!!
Anyway, I know I wont post anything while being at Mexico (I have to gain some kilos back=) so happy holidays to all the incautos who might drop by this blog.
Thanks for making my life such a big joke :)
May the Cheersita be with you!

You want a nasty surprise? I saw my advisor yesterday and he told me: I think your viva should be on Monday the 11th. I replied: "But I come back from France on the Saturday?"
Can you imagine what he said?
He just look at me with an odd smile and said:
So...?
Damn!
@dtradd:
Well, so...?! If you came back on Tuesday, that might be a problem, but the way it is there's a _whole sunday_ in between ;-)
Good luck to the two of you, by the way
