I made up a word on my English essay! I've already handed it in. Ah well.

Obscenitaire (i.e., one who uses creative swears) seems like a nice word though, so I kind of kept it in regardless of the fact that I was pretty sure before I checked. I was kind of hoping it'd get at least one google hit, though...

Backing up the English essay to LJ, in case of if-all-else-fails. Alliteration is fun!

Gah, Space Coyote (a.k.a. author of Saturnalia) went to Churchill! She graduated in 2002, so I doubt that anyone knew her, but it's still crazy-go-nuts!...never mind, seems to be a different Churchill. I was thrown by the fact that it also had an IB programme. But I'm fairly certain our Churchill didn't have photography in recent memory, or an ( Read more... )

Damnit, I keep giggling every time I try to read Darwin. I keep hearing "CHAINSAW of NATURAL SELECTION!!!!11" in my head, and it all goes downhill from there. This is not constructive.

I'm drowing in assignments and midterms a bit at the moment, but I think (hope) I can handle it. Ahh, reading week, you cannot come soon enough.

So, I put meself on the tutor referral service. Probably not the smartest thing to do, but I wasn't aware of how little time I would have when I did so.

Whoops, looks like I'm spending a bit more time in the labs tonight than I thought...there's an assignment due tommorow that I'd completely forgotten about. Of course, I spent five hours on the one that isn't due until Monday before I realized this. It's gonna be a long night...I got a pair of headphones, let's see what music I can download to ( Read more... )

The first bit of my English essay. If I can colour you interested, any comments are appreciated ^_^ . It still lacks an ending, and pretty much any backup/quotations/etc. The first sentence in particular irritates me a bit...it's too wordy, doesn't quite work right. I also probably need a clearer thesis, as even I'm not quite sure what it is.

I have successfully managed to get a job! Granted, it's Tim Hortons', but I might as well stick to what I know. Plus, noone else would even deign to call me for an interview. I'm apparently guaranteed 24 hours/week, although we'll see how that goes as the weeks go by. They have newer tills, so I guess I'll get to relearn those. Hmnnn, forgot ( Read more... )
