Anyone who’s been reading the blog recently is probably getting sick of hearing the same old stuff. Unfortunately that’s because my life is almost on repeat at the moment. It goes something like work, uni, function, work, uni, work, work, function, uni, work, etc. But last night it was time for the monthly dinner (albeit a little late this month, because I had a silly function last week!). I never really talk about the dinners on here because they’re almost like an underground society. Those who aren’t invited don’t know they exist, and even those who are invited don’t find out where it is until the day before. But it works, and it’s been happening like that every month now for nearly two years.
The main reason behind the idea is catching up with everyone - most of which, were it not for dinner, wouldn’t have time to catch up at all. Everyone is just far too busy and if you can find the time to set aside a couple of hours every month, then it just becomes a whole lot easier to manage. After all, if you know in six months time that the night is on, you’re more likely to keep it free than if we planned them one at a time.
Last night was a pretty standard turn out. There were eight of us in the end, which probably represents about 60% of all those who are invited. Most who couldn’t make it had to work (I can really sympathise with that!), or attend work functions. Getting out of the house last night was the perfect change from doing these stupid uni assignments - the latest of which has me analysing artwork against the theme “Transformation - the process of change.” I mean really, give me a break! Luckily I have Pen to help me out who is surprisingly good at this sort of stuff. I never knew she knew so much about the history of Russia. I guess you learn something new every day…
