from tragedy to tragedy
*shakes fists at sky*
AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, I can't actually pronounce my surname. It's the ultimate tragedy, but generally I get away with it. Except there's this new guy at the Porter's lodge (where we get our post and stuff) who seriously needs a new hearing aid. Whenever I give him my name, this whole sitcom scene begins, with him looking under F and me being all NO NO, T H. He goes P H? I go T H! He goes C H? I go T, T FOR TREVOR. He goes OH! T! and together we discover that I have no new post.
This has happened five or six times now. Maybe one day, he'll remember my name.

So winter is pretty much officially over for Cornall. The sun is out! It isn't even raining! My coat was not entirely necessary. AMAZING.
Also amazing: I got a beautifully random selection out of the library. A book on whaling, a DVD also on whaling, a book on American gayness, and one book that I actually need for my course.
YES. BOOKS ON WHALING.
BECAUSE I AM REALLY GOING TO WRITE THAT LEVIATHAN THING.

I love this icon too much to be healthy.
