A good surprise

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is a book I keep picking up and reading again and again and I found a copy for five dollars at the library when I got my card.

Well I opened it up last night and found out the author had signed it so that was a wonderful little surprise.

This is a book I recommend to anyone who loves Napoleonic era stuff and magic.

Also last night, we went up to Bryn Mawr to hear a concert conducted by a good friend so that was really nice and I figured out how to make wonderful rosemary scones.

Today is grey and rainy so I will be about all day.

Unexpected Bump

Last week, I got an email from Vic saying I owed them money as still being enrolled and I owe them about 6000 dollars US.

I feel really unsure and scared about this since I want to finish my thesis, I do but I haven't written anything on it since before I left New Zealand.

Why do I feel so scared and confused about this?

And being told I owe them a good chunk of money even though I'm studying over here is hard.

I just don't know and wish I knew how to get over or through this wall to what's on the other side.
