A breath, a pause

[dolorosa_12]

I have a brief moment of calm between a week that's been very full on, with lots of intensive teaching, and essentially a week with an event happening almost every night. This is mainly because the Cambridge Film Festival, and the Cambridge Festival of Ideas have pretty much overlapped this year. For someone like me, who has very low energy and needs to spend a lot of time doing quiet stuff at home, it's going to be fun but exhausting.

Coming up over the next week or so:

A concert (Aurora) on Saturday 15th

A film (American Honey) on Tuesday 18th

A concert (Birdy) on Wednesday 19th

A talk (Nalo_Hopkinson) on Thursday 20th

A talk (on new media) on Saturday 22nd

Apple Day (basically show up and eat as many types of apples as you can) on Sunday 23rd

A film (The Handmaiden) on Monday 24th

A film (Toni Erdmann) on Tuesday 25th

A talk (Farah Mendlesohn on children's fantasy novels) on Wednesday 26th

A film (Into the Inferno) on Thursday 27th

I feel exhausted just thinking about it! But everything should be a lot of fun.

I wrote a new post on my Wordpress blog. It's a review of A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir.

The concert was really lovely, and I'm definitely hoping the rest of it is just as fun. We're trying to take more advantage of the fact that so much stuff (especially free stuff) happens here in Cambridge, and actually get out and do things. I just wish it wasn't all happening at once, especially since it's coincided with that very intense undergrad teaching that I was telling you about the other day.
