I am still in the middle of writing my post-Kapcon report (it looks like this year's is going to be quite wordy) and keep getting distracted by other reports and the discussion about next year's LARP... I'm up to fourth round, so am making progress.

Managed to twist my ankle at lunchtime today. I stepped on some uneven cobbles, not actively watching my footing, my ankle rolled and I went flying downhill. I'm not badly damaged, fortunately - grazed knee and palms, sore ankle, but I'm wondering what the bruising will end up like, since I actually managed to ice it promptly and put it up. It didn't walk off, which is unusual for that level of rolling for me. Oh well.

I'm seriously considering taking German night-classes this year in preparation for travelling. The ones I'm looking at are at Wellington High on Tuesday evenings. Has anyone heard anything about them, or have others that they would recommend?

Due to various reasons (three-quarters of them my own fault) I didn't get to run The Millers' Children at Kapcon. It's a four player game - are there four people out there who would be interested in playing it once so I've run tabletop at least once? This weekend won't work, but the following would probably be fine. Let me know if you're interested or if you know of someone who might be. A suitable time can then be worked out.

It's a Little Fears game. In the Little Fears world, all the supersititions, all the monsters, everything you've heard of from fairytales and folktales, all this is true. Black cats are unlucky. Breaking a mirror will gain you seven years bad luck. If you say that you wish the goblins will take your siblings away three times... well, that will happen, too. Your mother, Mrs Miller, has gone out for the evening and you have a friend around to stay overnight for your sister's birthday. It's all fine - nothing will happen, right?

Exams are over. Assuming I passed everything (and I think I've either passed comfortably or failed completely), that is it. I am done. I find out if this is true the week before Christmas.

Actually, the main drafting section of the exam (25 marks) was quite fun - perusing and making amendments (with those dammed reasons) on an Agreement for Sale and Purchase of a Business which was of such quality that the only place all the names were correct was the last page of the document (which is not part of the contract but there for everyone's convenience as to contacts). Our lecturer got us to do one of these earlier in the year and I'm really glad he did.

Exams were on Monday and Thursday, so the OOS has not been aggravated.

It's been so hard to look past today that I really don't know what to do with myself. Getting through October to Labour Weekend and through exams has been the focus for so long that there's now a giant gaping hole which my life is supposed to fill. I don't recall this from last year, although I think we were starting flat hunting at that point, so the search would have filled the gap, I guess.

The last time I really remember being like this this clearly was coming out of Bursary (2000 - so long ago) and at that point I only had a few days between end of exams and going to the US for a month - hardly any time at all to anticipate it, but I just could not look past those exams to do so. At least this time I have four whole days to myself before I go back to work.

...at least the weather was suitable for my denim jacket. I wore fingerless gloves for the first half, too. Easier on the hands.
