We get to keep the red shirts, they will be our uniforms all year. I've hardly paid any attention to the Olympics, though figure skating looks so good. Stay warm! And thanks, I cut my hair short a few months ago :p I'm sure I'll have plenty to blog about once I'm back at uni.

It's like a never ending story. Good luck in doing the best that you can with WALLS. It's nice that you have a job in the library waiting for you, and hopefully they will let you keep the cool red shirts when the orientation is over. Here in Canada everyone is watching the winter Olympics and we have snow on the ground. For a moment I didn't recognize that it's you, because of the new picture, which also is nice. Welcome again to the University next week.G.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02652216131823877445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372161360756471399.post-63357648941522389082014-02-22T00:18:34.010+11:002014-02-22T00:18:34.010+11:00Isn't it crazy how many rounds of edits we nee...Isn't it crazy how many rounds of edits we need for most books? Sometimes I wish it would be a faster process, especially at the beginning when it seems overwhelming, but when it comes time to actually dive into the revisions it (usually) ends up being such a rewarding process. It sounds like you're making great progress with WALLS!<br /><br />The library job sounds awesome. What better place to work, right? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372161360756471399.post-17613325358878660122014-02-21T11:56:38.754+11:002014-02-21T11:56:38.754+11:00I guess the colour red is the universally accepted...I guess the colour red is the universally accepted colour for danger, stop, and look out, and in something like a coal mine, it would make sense that you'd have to look out for the inexperienced ones like that. I remember watching a few episodes of Jeopardy as a kid. I have not heard of Boy Meets World, though.

My father has been a coal miner for the last four years, and during his first year he had to wear a red helmet to signify his low experience (as do all the under-yearlings). Anyway, I've been keeping myself busy watching lots of Jeopardy and even more Boy Meets World. I have to admit that the latter is one of the greatest television programs to have ever aired.Patrick Stahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690555802232025818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372161360756471399.post-24853885155575672912014-02-20T22:26:48.938+11:002014-02-20T22:26:48.938+11:00LOL!

They call us the 'red shirts' for short anyway :p Maybe that's what will happen to me at the end of the year, once I've finished serving my purpose... <br /><br />The last I heard about the coal mine fire was to flood it. The fire is actually still out of control, though it's staying in the mine at least. Not entirely sure what they're going to do, but we've been told it should be dealt with in the next two weeks. <br /><br />I'm very excited to be going back to uni.

Have they figured out how they're going to put that coal mine out, or is it pretty much being contained and left to burn out on its own? Writing is porceeding--there is progress being made. Seems like you've got a pretty sensible approach to your work on WALLS--good luck!JeffOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947660745120963286noreply@blogger.com
