i really, REALLY don't want to write this essay. i only read about half the suggested books and am completely unprepared to start writing. but, it's due tomorrow night so i definitely need to start today. i guess the good thing is that reports have already been completed for all the JYA's, which means the essay really doesn't count for anything. i'd still like to do an okay job, so friday doesn't include the most painful hour of my life, but i'm way too excited about the weekend and going home and everything else to sit down and concentrate.
sang and i are going to london saturday, staying the night, and then flying out together (well, on the same day) on sunday. it should be a ton of fun and i'm so excited to just spend some time away from oxford with him. london was so nice with all the christmas lights and decorations up, i can't wait to be there, just the two of us.
of course i can't start enjoying any of this until i finish this paper. you'd think i'd be more apt to start it earlier and get it over with. i wish.
i'm a little nervous about getting my reports from tutors. i feel like my history one won't be too bad, but i have no idea about dr. sykes. he never really gave me any opportunities to talk during our tutes and that paper wasn't exactly my best piece of work. oh well, i'm at oxford .. it's supposed to be hard, right?
i also met one of my tutors for next term- christian. he's really young and seems like a nice guy. really awkward though. and of course i don't make it any better considering i can barely understand his half german/half british accent. i'm actually going to have weekly essays for my primary tutorial which is a little scary. oh well, that is far away .. time to enjoy the end of term and not think about the beginning of a new one .. yet.
okay. onto the paper. i swear. but if anyone wants to write about the athenian demagogues just let me know .. can easily be arranged.
