Watch this for your Monday dose of bittersweet poignancy.

Health update: Still not feeling quite myself. It's like when your computer keeps popping up 'error' messages that don't make sense or refer to any particular error. I'm functioning, but some kind of error is going on.

1. Vomit is a very onomatopoeiaic word. And doing so in the dark makes the whole process slightly less revolting. Very slightly ( Read more... )

I am feeling very bitter right now.

I had had such a good day until I got to work. My tutorials were interesting and entertaining (especially the part where my tutor failed the game he was demonstrating), and I had a very nice (and amazingly productive) lunch with bookwormmel in Lygon Street. Then I got to work.

OMFG I'm having a panic attack. I just realised that the essay that I haven't started yet, for which I haven't finished the reading, that's due on Tuesday afternoon, is ONE THOUSAND words longer than I thought it was and WORTH 60 PERCENT OF MY OVERALL MARK!!! I'm so fucked! Oh god, Oh god, Oh god, I can't breathe ( Read more... )

Ack! How the hell did I get to the stage where I have three things due in as many weeks without realising it and therefore not having done any preparation ( Read more... )
