A Phantom Lance

Can I just say now that Robin Hobb writes some damn good stuff? Her novels balance character development, plot and magic. My order of books arrived yesterday and since then I've been reading Shaman's Crossing like a madman. Finished all 631 pages a few hours ago. And I want more. I want to know what happens next. The people who watch anime or read manga or whatever know this feeling. You get to a point where every ending is a cliffhanger, because you desperately want to know what happens next. It's a very good book, Shaman's Crossing, and all fantasy lovers should be buying any book with Robin Hobb on it like hotcakes. Read it and love it. I still have Doppelganger and Warrior and Witch by Marie Brennan to read. It's a mix of action and magic and the first few pages are quite good. Yes, very good indeed...

Still haven't got my timetables yet. It's kinda pissy, but there's nothing much I can do. I've mainly been getting all the vaccination and stuff out of the way. Since I will be doing clinical placement in hospitals, I have to get the proper vaccinations, and I need to screen for tuberculosis. Where the hell is my local chest clinic? If I can get a phone number, I'll call up and ask what needs to be done. I think I might as well get this over and done with by the end of February so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

And here's a little joke that can be done in any university. Seriously, I would pay money if someone did something similar to this:


Till next time.
