Português, dissertating, and preparing: life can be awesome

Hi all,

It’s been a while since I posted something here, as I have been extremely busy these past two weeks. And the upcoming 14 days will not be any lighter…

14 days. T-minus 14 days. And then the Maputo-experience will commence. First up however: learning Portuguese and finishing a dissertation. The dissertation should be fine – I have made a strict schedule, some 750-1000 words a day – so I hope to have it finished by the end of the month. It’ll be dull, it’ll be annoying. But it’ll be done. Learning Portuguese on the other hand is really interesting and fascinating. I have bought an Assimil learn-it-yourself pack, to have some basic conversational skills upon arrival in Mozambique. I have just started learning and reading through the book and listening to the conversations, and actually feel like I’m making progress every minute.

On another note, the artist formerly known  (and still known actually) as Luc made his final farewell tour in London the past weekend. Suffice to say that this past year has been nothing short of brilliant, and all thanks to the wonderful people that have crossed my path. Without them, I would for example never have had the wonderful Ecco experience (great pizza, so cheap, really good pizza, really!), or heard about our very own ‘White Tiger’ (honestly, good book, about India, really interesting, almost as good as cheap pizza).

I’ll miss you guys a lot, though we will meet again. September 2011, write it down. Marriage, Luc style! 

A la prossima

P.s. Congratulations are in order! Siddy Webb (or Darth Accountancy if you wish) is a graduate now. Sidd, you make us all proud!
