Those can probably be arranged, I think :)

I've got several articles to finish as well - another part of the Problem of Focus, a Warhammer characters discussion, and yet another Unexpected Bestiary... not sure which of those I should prioritise next!

Meanwhile, I went to see an Irish folk duo this evening and they were good, so that was nice! I'm going out tomorrow night as well for pizza with the Byzantinists, so it's going to have been a busy week for evening events. Possibly the most interesting was Tuesday - Central European University is moving some operations to Vienna because of their issues with the Hungarian government, so they did a Vienna-side opening of their medieval department which had some interesting talks.

So tired. Dratted election. Also had a laptop, my main umbrella, and my washing machine die within five days. Things really aren't going awfully well here :(

My new theory about dogs is that dogs are such good boys because all the evil and hatred that might have been in them is discarded as part of their excrement, which explains why dog mess is Absolutely The Worst Thing Ever. Yes, I did tread in some this morning.

(To add insult to injury, it took me long enough to notice that traces of it got onto things other than my shoes, so I've just had to spend ages disinfecting a ton of stuff just in case and I still feel discombobulated and squicky from it.)

I have an exam on Monday and I think I've entirely forgotten how to do exams in the last few years. Halp.

I'm no help! I think it helps if you remember things and write some of them down while avoiding the existential dread of doing an exam.

Yeah, I've done a fair amount of reading and some practice essays. Trying to rest a bit this evening because it won't help me to go into the exam burned out. 90 mins for a paper like this feels like a real sprint after being used to three hour exams as an undergraduate. There's no culture of telling people about the format or having past papers available etc here, so it feels like I'm going in strangely uninformed compared to what I'm used to from the UK exam system, but I suppose everyone is in that boat.
