Time
Why is there so little of it? Yes, I suppose compared to many, such as Sarah, I just have loads of time but am just ineffecient at using it. But look:
Work (+ travel): 6-10 hours / day, usually 8. 5 days a week.
Watching Heroes: 45mins / day.
Grammar revision: 1 hour / day.
Getting ready for the day: 1hr day
Reading La Peste: 1hr/day
Internet: 30mins/day
Dinner: 30mins/day
I have to do all these things (except work twice a week). Yes, I do need the internet, it provides ALL my social life. I'm not sure why I thought it would be a good idea to re-read La Peste. However, I am faring well with it. My French is not good enough to only have an average of 3 words I don't know per page, so I feel obliged to look them all up for a complete understanding of the text, rather than getting the gist of it, as I did the first and only other time I read it.
I have no time to revise for my exams in 4 weeksish. Damn.
In book news, I now own something like 11 second hand Discworld books, huzzah! I also bought a book by H G Well,s brand new from Waterstones, for £1.50 - amazing that you can still get books for the price, though admittedly it was less than 100 pages.
I currently hate George Bush, my father and China. More, perhaps, later.
Life is generally good.
