So today I have spent 95% of the day procrastinating revising for my Buddhism exam tomorrow morning. And, through all of that I'm managed to make myself tired enough to consider that studying would be too taxing and that sleep is really just better. I did manage to get laundry done and one of my two bags packed though. I am finding out that it's a daunting task to fit your entire room into two suitcases. They look so much bigger before you try and fill them up. Anyway, exams tomorrow and Wednesday.
Oh, and I have a new favorite British word that I am SO happy I've learned before I go back to the US. Namely "waffle". Not in the yummy Belgian kind coated in sugar and eatable. No, it is used in phrases like "to waffle about". It's come up a lot around exams and I guess for good reason. According to various online slang dictionaries it means to "take aimlessly" and in my dorm it seems to be used also in reference to aimless behavior or actions. No matter what though it's cool. I mean how many times do we really get to use the word 'waffle' except at breakfast? So much fun! Waffle, waffle, waffle!
