Got up this morning, went past the post office to collect a package containing Apoa's birthday presents from Jed and Ruth, took the parcels out of the box so I could fit them in the bike bag, headed off to Middlesex for a morning of equal opportunities training (more linguistic data than you could shake a stick at (whatever that means)) bought a sandwich and ate half of it before my first tutee arrived at 1.15, then finished it at 5 after the last one left, then went to hear Linton Kwesi Johnson talk about Michael Smith before (now) heading off for a night out with Ohna. Somehow managed to read the start of an MA dissertation and approve three more encyclopedia articles inbetween, which means I'm only waiting for two and then my only remaining job will be to look at the proofs and corrections suggested by authors (hooray). A busy day, but I enjoyed it. Linton Kwesi Johnson is a visiting professor here which is very cool. I pretended to be John Peel, though, and suppressed my starstruckness.
