So, in case we forgot, I'm at uni, right? Which probably means I should be doing some sort of work...
One of my assignments is a Reflective (why do I keep typing reflexive??? THIS IS NOT A PRONOUN) Journal, which is 4000 words about 3 fieldtrips. I'm trying to do a little research on my least favourite of the trips, and JSTOR hasn't got an awful lot up, but then again it's a small-ish estate in mid-Wales, so what did I expect?
Anyway, what JSTOR does have is mostly about the Picturesque movement, which interests me. And I kind of want to go,
"HAFOD: A small estate, although it's clear the Forestry Commission has had a major effect on the landscape, its pitcturesque beginnings do show through. SPEAKING OF THE PICTURESQUE: I REALLY LIKE REV. GILPIN. LET ME TELL YOU WHY." And then I would quote bits about how you should plant trees and how it's beneficial to have nice big rocks in streams, and that one's viewing points should not be too elevated, as the view is then incorrect, and one doesn't get the variation that one does at ground level.
*sigh* Tomorrow shall be dedicated to this! I can hopefully get the majority of my research done, and write out a few notes about each place.
I should probably also start looking at my Ovid assignment, but then again, it's just a commentary, and that's hardly difficult. "OOOH, look, Ovid's being humorous! Before he was being melodramatic and v. v. v. serious, but here he's comparing the spurting blood to a leaky pipe! WHAT LULZ."
