I haven't written a post in awhile, mainly since I was in the US for a long time over the holidays, and I figured everyone knew what I was up to.

I finished my 5th course of my MSc, and I've started the 6th one, Research Methods this week. It has a lot of reading in the start of it, so I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. However, it is my last class so I should be fine. At least I don't have two courses at once like last year. I still haven't gotten my feedback and grades from my previous class, which they had promised by the 20th. Instead it looks like I will get one assignment next week but I imagine it will be a couple more before the second assignment comes out, as they said something about one tutor becoming a pro-vice chancellor, so that makes it unlikely he will have much time.

Winter seems to be lifting some, as the days are getting noticeably longer. This past few days have been mostly clear and sunny too, which has made it feel warmer (though I am not sure it really has been). It's just nice seeing the sun at least, though it tends to be so low on the horizon that you have to squint or wear sun glasses if you are facing it. I am glad I don't have to drive with the sun like that at least.

I had my neighbors and a couple other friends over for lasagna last night, which meant I spent most of yesterday preparing for it, between shopping, cleaning my flat which was a mess, and cooking. Today is dedicated to reading research book chapters instead.
