the snores

sleeping at the hostel was a good idea. sitting on the balcony when the american kids were "going wild" was a bad one. at least their bedtime was earlier than ours so we could talk a little and enjoy the night air once they'd made themselves scarce.

i snored last night, pissing everyone off. while i'm feeling a lot better than i did the past week, by doze id blocked and i've developed an inescapable hacking cough.

the day was all about communicating and negotiation. it was interesting, insofar as it gave a more formal background to the behaviour i've been subjected to for the last year or so.

today would've been great, but there were too many opportunities for misbehaving and we all drove our commander nuts.

she was absolutely mortified when i performed a little hands-raised-desperately-trying-to-attract-the-teacher's-attention dance "little jonny" style (i had no idea that she was right behind me at the time), and when our course is over and she's no longer in charge i'm going to have to let her in on the story to make up for it.

and handing out licorice mentos to israelis provided way more amusement than intended >:D
poor bastards.

i came home, did some shopping, schooled our new flatmate in tekken, got schooled by survivor mode, showered, did the net-trawl thing, and am now going to bed early.

success!

an hmd review that's positive, but a bit disappointing. the point made at the very end is the disappointing bit, we should be way further along than this.
