Desk Chairs and Old Age

Just finished my second week of classes in the second term which is technically called the Hilary Term.  It seems to be going so quickly.  After all this time I finally decided this week to ask for a new desk chair...the one I have been using all this time was broken and sunken in in the seat.  I had to buy four pillows to prop myself up to reach the desk and get support.  Needless to say, apparently I did not spend enough time sitting in that chair typing last term because it finally became so uncomfortable it was no longer manageable.  So I made a request and was brought a replacement chair while the other one is fixed...No I don't understand why they can't just leave the new purple chair with me for good - perhaps because it does not match the green carpet and the other green chair!!
As you can tell from the chair story, not much has been happening other than lots of sitting here at the computer typing.  I have finished two out of three essays - I am currently working on the third which is due Feb 3rd.  I will be writing about the retrieval of voices from the past in Irish history through the eyes of the elderly and those with dementia.  It doesn't sound very interesting but it really is - I promise!  Maybe I'll post a bit of it if my mark is high. :)
