Oh, General Studies - 3 hours of writing about the pros and cons of removing all restrictions on asylum, arguing that innovation in art is almost possible and concluding that Polly Toynbee is a smug Twatty McTwatface. Because we didn't know THAT already.
And the last thing on TV before I left for school and the first thing on TV when I get back? The new Blue video, in which one of them is wearing a suit in what appears to be the L.A. heat (more likely someone's back garden in Ongar, but mere details...). They keep talking about taking said strumpet up to 'be bubblin'' with them in 'the penthouse'. It's Blue - more Travelodge than penthouse. The Puritans snubbed popular culture - for once, I know why.
The most frustrating thing in the whole world happened to me the other day. My mum went to fetch my small sister from school, and the phone rang. From the confused tones of 'moshimoshi?' I could tell it was my aunt from Sendai. Then the weirdest thing happened - my mind went blank and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to say 'Mum's gone to pick up Yuki, I'll tell her you called. etcetc.'. It was if someone had cut my tongue out, and I guess I paused for so long that she hung up. The most ironic/irritating thing was that I probably would have been able to blurt ‘Elle est partie pour aller chercher Yuki du college. Je lui dirai que tu as appelé.’
Big cultural alienation angst.
