Update-type-post

Not a huge amount to say, but the stuff I do have to say is reasonably important I guess.
Firstly, I sent off the application for the Scottish Government EU Office Internship yesterday. I'm really quite excited about this role; I'd be working in Scotland House in Brussels for 11 months (paid, fortunately) and it would be excellant training for an Government job in the future. I really hope that I at least get through to the interview stage - I would be pretty dissapointed if I didn't, considering the amount of work that I put into the application! The deadline was today, so I hope to hear back in 2 weeks - 1 month. May have to re-learn French for the job - oh la la!
Secondly, probably not all that important, I've ordered a new laptop which will (hopefully) arrive tomorrow. I look forward to having a comp which will take less than 20 minutes to boot up in the morning, and hopefully won't die any time I download articles from Jstore. And most of all, it won't die while I'm writing this damn dissertation.
Thirdly, I've decided to work from home for the next 11 weeks (i.e. until the dissertation deadline). Hopefully it will be less distracting than the office. I cleared my desk space on Sunday and lugged everything home (ouch!); I'm quite sad to have left, obviously, because it feels like the begining of the end of my academic career (at least for now, anyway) and the start of a real life. Oh well, it's for the best I reckon.

Other:
Spoke to Eva the other day about her wedding: she sounds really happy and I look forward to catching up with her soon.
Went to see The Incrediable Hulk the other day - weak at best. Not dreadful and cringeworthy as it did have it's moments, but still below par.
The Fringe Guide is out at last - woop woop!
The girls are away atm - quite lonely :(
My window sill has now been taken over by plants! :D Tomatoes, chillies and basil.

Lastly, a problem:
I'm in a bit of a quandry. There's something I really want to know, but I don't know whether it would actually be to my benefit or detriment to know. What I do know is that I definately cannot ask the question to the person concerned because it's none of my business. Sucks. And, quite honestly, knowing may well involve wishing that I didn't. So, do I just wait for them to say something (which they might never do), or do I ask a question to which I have no right to know the answer? Bah.
