That was a very long but quick week
I had a lot of work to do that I had put off for so long, so when I get that low mark I really deserve it. But I hope I pass, anyways.
So now that that stuff is done and out of the way, I can start working on the essays I have this term. I hate that they're due one right after the other! It makes me feel like I am already running out of time to work on them. But, if I am a good little student and work on them everyday for a couple of hours, then I can finish them all and do a good-enough job on them, and not have to worry. Procrastination is bad. It does nothing for you, only makes you panic and worry and turn in crap work that you aren't proud of anyways.
Ulysses is a long and complicated book. I should start reading it now. Its going to take me a good long time to read it, and more if I want to understand. Have you seen the amount of notes in the back? Crazy modern Irish authors. At-Swim-Two-Birds was strange as well and full of Irish allusions that, not being Irish, I didn't understand, but I could at least read most of it and follow along. I actually quite liked it, it was silly and good fun.
I just went out and celebrated the completion and turning in of that massive amount of work: I got two, yes two, packages of Penguins, some crisps, and a Scotch egg. Ahhh, it was tasty and nice. Maybe I'll have another Penguin. Mmm. I've been wanting to try Penguins since my first year, and they were on offer (half-price!), so now I am a happy monkey.
P.S. I hate Brendan and what he has done with our Nat! I wish he would leave and go away and never come back. It would be better for her and for the rest of us who have to listen to their arguing and see our friend being pushed around and such by such a bastard. What I can't understand is- what does she see in him? Why does she still like him? He treats her like shite, he does, so why doesn't she break-up with him? Why is he living here? How come she doesn't see how horrible he treats her, how he's changed her and how he makes her feel? He messed around with someone else when they first started going out, and they ended things over that, so why are they back together again after he cheated on her? I think that's why she's always so paranoid about where he's gone and what he's doing. Why would anybody want to live like that? Constantly paranoid that he's gone off with another woman? We were hoping this would be the fight to end all fights, but no, guess what? but they've made up again. I hate him so much, I really do, and why she doesn't too I just don't know.
