katharosOkay, so I have been back from university for almost two weeks now. So far this has been taken up with looking for a job, going back to a lot of different universities with my sister as she tries to decide which one she wants to go to, preparing for her birthday, preparing for her to go to China (china) and watching an awful lot of Heroes with her.
So, highlights.
Couple of weeks ago - went to see The Last Confession which was brilliant and poignant and chilling and filled with painful 'what ifs.' It told the story of Pope John Paul I, who reigned for only three days, and explored all the conspiracies around his death. He was a liberal Pope, supportive of birth control, of the Church's responsibility to fight temporal evil as well as spiritual. (One of the best lines of the play, I think, was his response to one of the Conservative Cardinal's protestation that the Church's business was God - 'it's men seeking to find God.') One of our friends, Paul, has a walk on part and is an understudy - for the Nun.
Got my degree results. Beautiful day in the courtyard behind the English Department. They served us Pimms, then posted the results up in the window. (I got a First *makes repressed squeaky noises*)
I then got on a train and rushed back home in order to see an open air production of The Comedy of Errors in the ruins of Ludlow castle. We had a picnic on the grass outside, and thankfully the rain held off. The play was amazing - hilarious and implausible (two sets of separated identical twins) and it had a Bollywood setting which was ridiculously perfect.
Sister's party went off without a hitch. Except, you know, when she threw a cookie at me and it hit my eye and I was in agony every time I blinked for two days before I finally went to Minor Injuries where they put dye on it and told me I had an abrasion on my pupil and gave me so antibiotic paste to put on it. No, I'm not milking this for all it's worth, why do you ask?
So now she's off to China, and the next event is my graduation. I am going to do some writing this weekend.
