I am pretty well over the AUGH PANIC stage of interview for the moment, and am switched on to the OMG CHICAGO OPERAAAAAA stage. Got my tickets today! My sister konian and I are going to go see Lucia di Lammermoor this Saturday evening. I am... overwhelmingly excited. Live opera! Baby sister! There is no way this cannot be cool.

Planning to ditch her on ( Read more... )

I am shaky as fuck on coffee and exhaustion and have two hours of 'work' (which for reasons which will presently become very evident are going to be very dull indeed) left, so clearly it is time for a post! Instead of writing about Thomas Hardy's frankly shitty war poetry.

Reason for exhaustion: Computer Geek (friend of father, can speak of nothing ( Read more... )

I am all abuzz. This is what happens when you begin your day pell-mell and continue. Also I think if I stop I will have a migraine of epic proportions, so, you know. No stopping until I get home ( Read more... )

 Which is why it SUPER SUCKS that I had a biopsych exam today - I literally got stuck in my chair and ran into the door on the way out of the room for no better reason than seriously uncoordinated. Probably it's a very good day for writing essays - free association is ticking over just fine. But for actually trying to remember what abbreviations ( Read more... )

 I have dire suspicions that Herrick was an early Romantic. He keeps going on and on about pastoral this and that, and talking about girls like flowers and going Maying and other popular topics of the Romantics. I mean, I know he was probably trying to convince himself with some of the poems (the ones where he lists the reasons he should be ( Read more... )

Full moon insomnia last night. Didn't get to sleep for a couple of hours and woke up at four. I had to wake up at 5:30 anyway, but am nonetheless displeased. Missed my bus by about a minute and walked to school, so ten minutes late to work - which didn't matter so much because I open, so as long as I get it done quickly it's not a big deal. Today ( Read more... )

 And then I had an opportunity to be nice to someone, which was great - there was a woman who'd been waiting for a specific bus for an hour. Since it wasn't much out of my way to take her where she needed to go, I said to come on this bus with me and then I will drive you from my car to where you need to go. And I did and she was happy and ( Read more... )

 This is my morning:

Wake up when the alarm goes off - did not wake up when the alarm so carefully set the night before did not go off. Roll out of bed, into clothes, out the door ten minutes after out of bed. Drive to school, wait for the bus. Wait. Wait. Get to work  five minutes late, read the directions - twenty minutes late, actually. Scavenger ( Read more... )

 Accidentally made 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' curry rice. It's quite good, I think, under the whole thing where my tongue is losing feeling in its taste buds due to extreme spiciness. Doubtless this will be good for my allergies.

...okay, that doesn't make any sense at all.

Still, I think it's pretty good given what we've got in our ( Read more... )

Happened to be first off the train on the way home, and consequently made the elevator start. It always sends a little thrill of pleasure through me - you step on the metal plate and the whole thing shudders into life. After that, it doesn't matter how one goes up it - it's just that step. Stop laughing at me.

In other news, most unnatural rain for ( Read more... )
