Phew.. it's all over

For now at least! I won't know the verdict on whether I have passed my 3 modules until after the (mercifully pretty early) assessment board on 15th June. Worst case scenario: I'll have to resit at the end of August, smack in the middle of the last week of the advanced yoga teacher training course I'm planning to take in Quebec (and I don't think University of East London has an exam centre out in Montreal!) so fingers crossed I've squeezed through on that Anatomy exam (by some miracle)..

In other news, I tried out the super cheap student rate for a haircut at Vidal Sassoon's School of Hairdressing near Bond St station last week, for a mere STG 4.50! OK... so I had to sit almost completely still for nearly three hours (thank goodness for trashy novels :), but they did a great job. When I say they, I mean my student from Iceland and the teacher who was supervising him. Neither of them spoke English as their first language and their (slower but pretty successful) communication with each other reminded me of my friendship with a Yakutian neighbour of mine in Japan. She spoke Russian, French and Japanese, but no English, and I spoke no Russian (and insufficient French!), so we had to communicate in Japanese! I really wonder now what everyone around us thought when they heard us!

Off to Switzerland to visit Mum in a couple of hours! Back soon. M xx
