A Witch's Spell
Hello, f-list. I've been away, and now I'm back. This time I have been away to my work's annual AGM. That was exciting. Not really. It meant a six-hour drive with my boss, during which I heard his unlikely theory that being a priest is a lucrative profession. I don't think that's true. 'Well, no, they probably don't get paid a lot,' he said when I questioned this. 'But with all those religious parishioners, they could eat at a different house every night. They'd never have to make their own dinner.' So not lucrative so much as lazy, then.
That subject I'm doing for my Masters, it started with 51 students in it. Census date (the last day to withdraw without penalty) was 31 March, and now there are only 25 students in it. That's a high drop-out rate. I mean, yes, it's a lot of work, as evidenced my relative absence from here, but for fifty percent of people to start and realise that... that seems high, doesn't it?
Finally - and finally - there is a painter coming to look at the house this afternoon.
