It’s been absolutely lovely the past few days. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to really enjoy it, because I had a two-day workshop for my class ‘The African Occult’, for which two anthropology big-shots, Jean and John Comaroff, came expecially from Chicago. Was very interesting, but also very, very tiring.

Now it’s over, and with it my last presentation, possibly the very last one before the ‘big one’ for my MA thesis in about a year’s time. I also figured out the topic for my last anthropology paper – and discovered that the prof would like me to turn it in in a month at the latest. And here I thought the pressure would drop at least for a little while… Joy!

But hey, the semester is almost over and, all in all, I’m right on schedule. If I don’t slack off too much (or get distracted *g*), I should be able to write my two final papers before leaving for Japan on September 10, giving me a free head to start preparing for my thesis next year when I get back in October. So I guess I won’t be really seeing the sun all that much this summer… Uni just has to be my priority right now. /end pep talk 🙂
