Status report: it's my birthday

Lost passport, EHIC, and £400




  • I have travel insurance through my bank

  • I didn't know either

  • Just need to get a police report for the money (this might be hard)


My toe

  • Seems to be getting better


Xenophobic abuse from faculty staff

  • Head of UALK is complaining to Dean of Faculty of Arts for me

  • He is lovely

  • He was appalled by their behaviour

  • He is awesome, I want him to adopt me


Kitten

  • I'm getting a dog from a shelter instead

  • It was always the plan

  • They're killing dogs in shelters!


I need someone always pleased to see me, who will get me out of the house in the winter.
And an older creature, to whom I can give a new lease of life

Birthday things

  • I had my first lecture yesterday and it was bloody interesting!

  • I'm so happy to be here

  • Someone invited me to a William S. Burroughs event tonight. I think it's in Czech but yay friend-making!

  • Going for a birthday bike ride now (can still cycle with bad toe)

  • Party on Saturday. If no-one shows up, I have a great excuse


On reflection

I'm getting better at listening to myself. When I've made bad decisions, it's because I haven't listened to my own misgivings.

What's the use of academia? I'm still not sure, but I'm good at it and it feels like sex for my brain. It's been a long dry spell. Thank god I'm back!

No matter how old I get, I will never stop drinking and cutting my own hair. I did it again last night! I actually think it looks good this time!

Happy Birthday, Me. Whoo!

I wish Max was here to share it. Summer holiday is July-October. Next summer, I've got to get myself to South America.
