Yellow Christmas, Oven New Year, and callouses on my fingers

This post is just to bring readers up to speed on what's happened since i last posted an entry

As per the previous entry, i was waiting for my academic results. I now can say that i have passed and now this year, in 2008 i am finally progressing to the 3rd year of my course, which was meant to happen this time last year.

In any case since then there's been some hot days, notaby Christmas day and New Year's. Both were around the 40 degree (Celsius) mark and no real respite coming until a couple of weeks back when it was in the mid 20's.

I've also recently applied as a transcriber at www.animechords.com, a rather popular site dealing with transcribing, as in, putting chords to anime music. My "application" was picked out of "many with rather questionable ability to communicate effectively and ability to transcribe". I was pretty happy about that. the only downside of this job is that i won't get paid for it, but might just get picture of large cute animal plushies, or so says my "boss". In the process i've gotten to know a little about a guy who lives near the border of western Germany in a little town called Venlo that goes by the name of Jelmer bas Kosters.

I've managed to complete a couple of transcriptions thus far, but have more to do, hence the callouses on my fingers playing guitar for hours on end.
