I wander round all day, half-composing entries in my head, but I come to the keyboard and I'm blank. Much better at idea than reality, that's me ( Read more... )

Ah, am posting twice in one day. How strange of me. In my defense, I'm still avoiding reading Middlemarch, thus preventing me reading anything else, because that, that would be admitting defeat, and my father is hogging the television, watching Braveheart, of all things, in the other room ( Read more... )

I'm sitting at my parent's server, staring out at this amazing view of the ocean. I love this house--my grandparents built it in the seventies, when Merimbula was very small and sleepy. (It's more...mmm, tourist-y or commercial--yuppie is the word I'm avoiding, because living in the yuppie capital, I can safely say it's not that bad yet. 'Upscale' ( Read more... )

Wow, it's been so long since I actually got to write in this thing from my proper computer. I had my brother block all non-uni sites from the pc in my room way back...sometime, because I am sad, with no self-control and also sad ( Read more... )

Ha! God, my grammar textbook can be so unbearably cute.

( Like so. )

God, I'm so sick of books about "independent" women who are just "independent" enough to fuck up their lives horribly and then refuse to let anyone help them because they are so fucking "independent".

What. Ev. Er.

Oh, yeah, Henry James, you go right on the shit list, right next to Thomas Hardy. I'm sure you'll enjoy each other's company ( Read more... )

So, I got my English essay on Anna Karenina back today. I got an HD, 82%. Which is pretty good for an essay I wrote in two days and handed in three days late. I spent the afternoon suffused with that unique brand of giddy relief that only unexpected academic success can supply, because, honestly? I handed it in the Monday I was taking to bus down ( Read more... )

I'm sitting at the sever typing this up, being inundated with the swoosh and bing-bing-bing sound effects of Hunt For Red October, which my brother is watching on his computer in the other room. I'd tell him to turn it down, but y'know that'd make it the sixth time or something that I've asked him to, and I'm over it already ( Read more... )

I just finished my criminal law assignment, and handed it in with about a minute to spare. *lies down and dies* God, I would've blown George Bush for an extra five hundred words. I spent the last hour attempting to cut it down and I was still 49 words over, which is 2.5% I can kiss goodbye. Still, it's in on time, so I'm gonna pretend like it doesn ( Read more... )

I've just finished my traditional grammar assignment (I was so out of it by the end that I kept forgetting whether I was translating Ancient Greek or Latin and there was noun declension chaos) and my eyes would like nothing better than to roll up into my head and never work again. But instead I shall force them to assist me in my re-reading of Anna ( Read more... )
