Surprises

I have just finished watching Kinsey and quite liked it. I thought the personal and professional aspects were well mixed and I like the circular feel to how the story was told. And what he's saying wasn't completely perfect but so much of the same type of backwards/ignorant/judgemental thinking he was going against is still present in our society. I recommend this film.

I also found out today that my father had a second life insurance policy that is the same amount as his other one. It is now a lot of money for my sister and I to split even after all the funeral costs and things like that are covered. It's hard to be really happy about it but the money will mean that I won't be in a position where I have to work too much while in school out of necessity. Most of all though, getting back to England and paying for grad school is now not a financial issue at all. I just ave to have good results and get accepted.

And I know that for my dad, me travelling and being able to persue my academic goals was very important. I keep hearing from everyone that knew him how proud he was of my being in England and doing so well. I alwasy knew that but it's nice that he told others as much has I have found he did. I think things are going to get hard this week now that all the planning and stuff is done and I just have spare time.

I caled into HK Inc. and spoke to Olive today. I was going to go in this week a bit to start working with her but she's going out of town for the rest of the week so I won't be back there until the 20th and it'll only be part time. This week my plans are mostly just to keep making the flat cozy and organized again along with a few other things. I've got some crafts I have to do.

Tomorrow: A bit of shopping and visiting with Chatton.
Wednesday: Bunch with Titania
Thursday: Art Gallery visit with Blondie.
Later this week: Dinner with Miranda.
Sunday: Car-free festival in my neighbourhood with my sister and nephew.
Monday: Poetry Slam with Titania and maybe Chatton.
Thursday: Dinner and CD release party with Titania and maybe others.

Off I go to bed. Tomorrow will be a good day I think. I am going to treat myself a tiny bit.
