While that was rather exciting, alas, I think my laptop is at the end of it's GW2 career since it had to go into the shop recently, so I'm not going to be playing much (if at all) until around the end of May when all my work is in. I need this laptop to at least survive until then. After that I may start shopping for a more powerful machine as a reward for graduating/having a job for the year, but we'll see. If I do, that'll be fun :')

Also, the Molten Alliance Mining Pick is awesome. Really nice idea.

In the meantime, lots of work, as I say. I still have my dissertation to finish (though I'm enjoying it a lot so far), one exam, on take-home paper, and two more short papers. And then I'm done with my undergrad. That's kinda cool.

And tomorrow I get up at 5am to take a group of students to Manchester for NUS LGBT Conference... :) No rest. Nooooo rest.

Best wishes for the conference! Do you have any further involvement in it or will you largely be reporting it? Does Skyler get to go with you?

It's mostly a policy-making conference, so we're voting on motions for NUS LGBT to take up (or not) for the next few years, but there's also some workshop stuff going on throughout the days, refreshments and networking opportunities.

Skyler isn't coming along to this and I don't think he's missing much by not coming--the experience can be very mixed and by-and-large the pool of people who go are (to put it politely) kind of young in terms of their outlooks on things, which at best can be frustrating and at worse can result in some very troubling and damaging policy being passed.

But I'm delegate head again this year so I'm also responsible for getting us where we need to be and for finances.

Ooh. Well, again, wishing you all the best for a smooth experience (as smooth as these kinds of conferences can be) and positive outcomes. :)
