Unfortunately, my semester's quite pathetic again, as far as the timetable's concerned. Very sorry I haven't sent you mine so far. Btw.: Did LJ eat my recent post to you? I was trying to reach you about that...
Still working on this linguistics and essay stuff because I couldn't take last semester's exams due to everything that happened around here... Meh...
But as far as the seminar's concerned (ling.), it feels good and the teacher's just great. It's Ms. Hilbert, btw. "Structure of the English Verb". I'm in good spirits that this will be done by the end of the semester once and for all... Longing to get into literature again, I can tell you. ;) And I will. Soon. Very soon. :)
I'm at the uni on Tuesdays 14-16 h, and besides that trying to get the bloody linguistics paper done... :( - If you ever feel like having some lunch or a coffee with an old fella like me, maybe, away from all the work you have, I'd be most happy. :)
Had a hard time fighting off that cold, I was having this time... But now I'm fine and ready to start over at uni. :)
Easter, however, I could've skipped this year. Sorta... Nice family argument at grandma's place, right before dinner, and my dad was admitted to hospital (yeah, right...) with gall stones and has been there ever since, facing surgery on Friday now. (UPDATE: postponed to next Monday or Tuesday, just got the call...)
Don't worry about me too much here, though... It bugs me, sure it does, but you were right about always telling me to keep some (or better some more ;)) distance to him... That helps, and my head's relatively free to cope with the things that need to be finished study-wise.
Besides, last weekend, dad couldn't stop telling me in that demanding voice of his he always tends to have on him, that I should please have the decency to dress differently than I did that day, asked me when I would consider seeing a barbershop from the inside next time, and if the world was slowly falling apart, looking at our generation as a whole. Seriously, this is where I almost stormed out of there, asking myself why I visited him in the first place, and thinking that if the pain wouldn't already be killing him, maybe I would. I mean, don't get me wrong, but seriously... These are exactly the things that make it kinda easier sometimes to cope with his condition, than I could with grandpa's, and most importantly mum's (who's quite ok by now, btw.)...
Well, fathers... Will they ever learn anything??
PS.: Thx for always being there for me... :)
How do you feel tonight? - Still everything quite ok?
