A life under construction
First things first: someone complained about the fact that my comment system did not work. I think it was the fault of MT that had a faulty comments template. It should be fixed now!
I was thinking of putting a big "Under Construction" sign on this weblog. Then I thought that my whole life is under construction, in a sense! Three years ago, when I started my masters degree at the LSE, I was thinking that I have started my life really. I was hoping to finish the MSc and by virtue of attending such a prestigious university, get a job really quick and join 'the real world' (how Orwellian, don't you think? By the way, isn't it ironic that George Orwell's real last name was Blair?).
Anyway, I am very glad that the life did not happen the way I imagined it. I am happy to be here, and as boring as it sounds, I like going to school and studying and researching. It seems to be more fulfilling than becoming a consultant or something of the sort.
Anyway, other than classes, I have two Readerships this term, so it means that life will be full! I am sure I will start writing about all the things I did before and create a mind-numbingly boring environment here, discussing history and languages and things.

I intended to make a polite observation about the comment system. No complaint intended! Someone should code a polite and respectful smiley face. :)
Interesting, I didn't know that Orwell was a pseudonym. I don't know whats up in England, but since Bush got elected, I definitely have felt like Big Brother is watching.
What is a Readership? Is that some sort of teaching position?
I will admit that I often do not know anything about the historical people that you mention, however, I have enjoyed looking some of them up and learning about them. For me, it is not boring to learn new things. I suppose, in that sense, I am, like you, still under construction, too. :)
