Det er IKKE godt.

Danish, you’re letting me down. Until you can provide me with the sweet stylings of artists such as Veronica Maggio, I’m putting a red mark against your name. Two points from you.

Danish: -2

And YOU Veronica. Ohhh why oh why couldn’t you be Danish? For every song of yours I listen to, that’s less time listening to a language I actually want to immerse myself in. Thanks a lot. Tak for det.

There’s only so much Medina I can listen to—my play count on last.fm is ridiculously high and she’s reaching Lady Gaga heights. People will get the wrong idea!

Not that I’m ashamed of my dirty pop. But I feel like breaking the gender imbalance somehow.

Anyone know of a decent Danish artist I should get into? I’ve already covered off Mew—something in actual dansk would be good too.

I’ve felt like this all week.

Only she seems to be having more fun and I’ve been far less self-destructive. I should maybe take on her approach?

Min kærlighed til Skandinavien vokser.

Plan for the day

Finish off my grad job app
Break
Work on white paper
Dinner slash break
Watch middle-aged public figures squabble on QandA
Work on white paper

Interspersed throughout the day with splashes of German and Danish learning, to keep me in the-happy-times.

Were it not for the severe lack of summer this year, this song would have been perfect.

That awkward moment there’s a deceptive pause before the end of a musical performance—right before the pivotal peak of the song—and people have already started end-clapping. Am I right?

So I got new glasses — and yes, I’m aware they make me look like a total fucking hipster. But unlike your run-of-the-mill Brunswick dweller I actually NEED glasses to, you know, have vision and actually see.

Without glasses or contacts I’m disadvantaged. I’m one of those need-glasses-to-find-my-glasses kind of people.

I ordered these specs at visiondirect.com.au (not actually based in Australia, just quietly) and it’s the most frustrating transaction I’ve ever dealt with. I bought them in January and they arrived late March; enough said really. It’s the price you pay for huge discounts which—let’s be honest—is the deciding factor here.

I’m hoping these glasses aren’t too ridiculous for work — they do cover like a third of my face after all.

Oh well, just one more thing I hope will slip by unnoticed. No one’s pulled me up on my shoddy ironing yet. And by shoddy, I mean I that barely ever iron at all. Shhh.

Did March even anything?

My lack of updates would suggest I’ve had nothing important to mention lately, which in fact is quite the opposite. A lot of interesting developments have arisen of late. Work commissioned me to help write an industry white paper and I still have a million grad apps to do.

I think now, more than ever, I’m at a stage where proper sleeping patterns and time management will be the heroes to get me through this month of deadlines. Not that these didn’t matter before, but I never tended to heed to my body’s cries to succumb to regularity and routine.

These are exciting times! The self-imposed crunch time I’ve inflicted for grad apps has invariably forced me to think about where I want to be this time next year. Added too is the wonderful opportunity my work has given me to gain exposure and to undertake a pretty high-level project.

If I don’t make it through the next month (here’s an outrageous bet that I’ll wig-out as time goes on), know that I really, really, really wanted to give this hectic time my best shot.
