One essay down! High five, Cat! (The cat spent much of the night on my face; I feel we have bonded. Also, I feel I may have fleas.)

Hawthorn's coming back. Modern Family is surprisingly hilarious. Doctor Who is impressing me - although Sunday's vampire/bug extravaganza didn't fill me with thrills.

I spent Friday painting my scout hall, and it looks fabulous. I shall use the same design and colours on the bedroom of my firstborn. It's all pretty yellows and whites and baby blues ( Read more... )

So, about that 2500 word essay due to tomorrow. ... Topic: "Assess the US decision to invade Iraq in 2003." Should be simple, right?

I have accumulated a towering pile of books next to my bed. To give you an idea of how quickly I'm moving forward, my contacts case has been balancing atop the pile for the last three weeks.

I finished Jane Eyre! Good ( Read more... )

Wait for it -

Cashews... are not nuts. They are seeds. Seeds.

But that's not all.

Peanuts - yes, peanuts - aren't nuts, either. They are legumes. Now that I have spent some time thinking about it (I don't have a crim law test tomorrow, shut up), I've realised that this explains the emphasis that one places on "pea".

Hee.

My brain hurts. Studying is the ( Read more... )

 Awful day. Like yesterday. Tomorrow will probably be worse for the most part. And to top it off, I just chewed through a teabag. (Yeah, I know. Shush now, it wasn't deliberate, awright?) And now my mouth is all grainy and it doesn't taste like spearmint/camomile anymore. More's the pity.

I'm starting to get that realisation I tend to get every ( Read more... )

I never thought it could be happen, but I think my torts tutor is even cooler than my Intro to Law lecturer from last year. Let us compare:

Today's torts tute:
"Now, go and pounce on that legislation like black leopards on toast!"

Compared to last year's advice:
"I give, devise and bequeath, wherein, thereto, henceforth, notwithstanding - lawyers love ( Read more... )

 Which is sadder:
a) talking to yourself;
b) talking to your dog;
c) talking to your ipod; or
d) telling yourself to shut up?

(Note to self: Find people to talk to.)

Actually, I may have inadvertently engaged a neighbour in conversation. I definitely got a very strange look from a man holding a hose in his front garden (ooh, breach of water restrictions ( Read more... )

Suddenly realised today that I haven't actually done any work for uni yet this year. This next week is going to be assignment hell.

Some shards of sunlight that have sliced through the grey clouds:

The Coffee Cantata
A classical aria about a young woman's addiction to coffee, and her father's disapproval. Dad says young lady can't get married until ( Read more... )

Entered French with assignment in hand. Covered dodgy Word formating with palm of hand as handed it to the lecturer. Shall try and conceal lack of technological ability from peers for as long as humanly possible.

Forgot the name of one of my 'close' new friends. Feigned total mental breakdown to avoid hurting her feelings. Used example of idiocy in ( Read more... )

It's that strange time of day/year when it's my birthday, but it's too late for anyone to remember/care about it. I kind of like it. There's no fuss, there's only ample (sleepy) time to think, hmm. Goodbye, eighteen. You were useful for feeling all young and teenage-y. I now feel very in between. But hey, presents. They'll come later, when everyone ( Read more... )
