Life is Exhausting

At least that's how I feel, at the moment!
I'm getting tons of homework, but even when I don't have work and think I'm free things seem to crop up, so I'm always busy and when I'm not I'm just too tired to do anything but collapse!
I learnt something interesting yesterday though - walkie-talkie in French is talkie-walkie. Bizarre.
I have lots of things I should probably be doing rather than writing this so this post won't be long, although I'm not sure I'm going go get round to them somehow. Oh well.
Um... I'm trying to think of something interesting to write on here. Oh I know - on Saturday I was stewarding at Vertigo, which was a joint youth event for all the churches in Oxfordshire but hosted by us at the King's Centre. Anyway, I was on carparking duty so directing them all into spaces (it's amazing how terrible some people are at parking. 3 spaces, for goodness' sake!), and I got to wear a fluorescent yellow jacket and to have a walkie-talkie. It was very fun :) And hence the French observation, if you hadn't worked it out!
So that's me. Tomorrow I have 2 German lessons, and that's all, which can be very good but can also be very boring if you have no work. German is fun though. It's probably my favourite subject at the moment in that I'm enjoying the lessons the most and finding them most profitable, which is amazingly good because it's probably the subject that I'm weakest in, and also the one subject where I'm not with other ex-King's people. I think I may have already put that on an old post but never mind, it's still true!
And that's me. Anyone got anymore interesting news?
PS I just read this in an old Reader's Digest, but found it so funny that I have to put it in here. It's from the 'All in a Day's Work' section:
As a customs officer I was attending a court case in which we were prosecuting a smuggler. The judge asked the court, "Who makes these allegations?"
My superior officer replied, "I am the alligator."
