Spare time, did you say?

The Quote of the day today by Douglas Adams could not have been more appropriate, so I'll repeat it here:

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

HELP!
I am buried under an avalanche of Scandinavian x-ray user interface messages to be proofread and translated.

I want to write a nice long post about my visit to the fish market, and about singing karaoke with Michael's aunts and uncles, but that will have to wait until Friday afternoon.
I'd also like to go to rugby practice, but this week it takes place at 6.30 AM, which is when I need to be balancing on the top of a chair or hanging out the window with Michael's computer to try and find the wireless connection to speak to my work...so. Soon I will learn to estimate actual time needed to do a job, and "just saying no". Ah yes, I look forward to it already.

Today does have one ray of sunlight though(and it's definitely not emanating from the evenly overcast coastal skies of Peru. I have been accepted to do two distance learning courses in Sweden:
- Fish ecology at Gothenburg University
- Writer's school at Kristianstad Högskola
This means I will have to get back to contriving my infamous parcels from Serpost, as they contain two of my course books (aaaargh!).
