Dear Rianne,

Thank you for your patience. My congratulations on a very solid final essay that has significantly improved from the midterm. I think your final essay on "Ethnicity in a New Light" seriously looks at the issues discussed by Philip Gleason, Trinhn t. Mihn-ha and gloria Anzaldua. I read it with interest and appreciate the coherent and clear exposition. Grade for the final essay: 8. Grade for the seminar: 7,5. With best regards,

Prof. dr. Paulo de Medeiros

Yay :D

You may or may not know that I live in a student flat on the 8th floor, and share this "house" with 7 housemates. About once a year we have the fire department coming through to ensure the hallways aren't blocked by anything in case a fire breaks out. This is usually the only week in the year the hallway is empty. No different this year, only this year I figured out that if for example Hugo has his junk sitting out in the hallways when they come to do their second check (they usually come on monday and then again on thursday or friday) that the whole house could be put out on the street. As in, I would need to find a new place to live. So that kind of put a new perspective on things. From now on I will be ever vigilant for clutter in the hallway, and no more mr niceguy for Hugo's giant contrabass.

It rained all day and I made way too much macaroni.

My blog is dead. Again.

I was pretty irritated the past week, I was kind of stupid to my parents which I feel bad about now and two days ago around 10 am one of my housemates was trowing a BALL around in our hallway which woke me up pretty good. It also enraged me and I've seriously been walking around with this "screw you all" mentality ever since. They finally realized we didn't need a new oven after all. I could barely restrain myself from writing an "I told you so"-reply to the e-mail that went around to suggest if it wouldn't be better to sell it on ebay.

I haven't seen rakoo in a while which makes me sad :( But I know he has important school stuff to do so I'll be brave!

There are some new people in the guild and one of them if a girl so thats got half of the guys all rattled up but besides from that nothing new. Still no LC heroic down, at least my team spirit is not the problem. It's taking Lorril a lot of effort to get everyone in the raid on time, and I gotta say I admire his input. I wonder what would happen to UndisputeD if there was no Lorril-force to drive it.

I had a really cool queens day last friday with Jorien, we drove through the city in a carriage and walked by the fair and some markets and that was just fun to do, in the evening she had to raid so I leveled my draenei on her laptop, and we ordered in. Since then I've come to lvl 77 but am now at a standstill because it looks like nothing is going to happen anymore when I reach 80 (besides from arena which i suck at) so I lost all motivation to lvl.

The screenshots and streams we saw of Cataclysm are very promising. Looking forward to release :)
