- got a new laptop.
- finished the first chapter of her novel rewrite.
- handed in a Roman Literature essay (on time, with a suitably impressive word count and everything!)
- missed two Roman History lectures in a row, in spite of the fact that she adores the lecturer ( ( Read more... )

Nadia actually managed to get her philosophy essay in within in 24hrs of the deadline! And Phil the Almighty told Dr Sheppard I was ill yesterday, so she didn't even dock me 10 marks! SCORE ON SO MANY LEVELS. But no, I'm going to be really really good with the next one, and totally start on it tomorrow. Greek Lit again. Can't remember what the ( Read more... )

Gah. Ill. ILL. ILL. Hokay, I could be MORE ill, I get it; I could have Gastric Flu like Wani... poor girl. But my philosophy essay was due in TODAY! Meaning I've already lost ten marks from what was never going to be a very high score even if I get it in by 3pm ( Read more... )

Ford: It's a lateral thinking problem, isn't it? We've just got to sidle up to the problem sideways, when it's not looking, and... POUNCE! Oh... I've knocked the bottle over.
Arthur: Have you got an answer?
Ford: No, but I've got a different name for the problem!

So, I just checked (avoiding Electra) and I have been on LJ, now, for 3 years, 1 month and 5 days. Shame I missed the actual anniversary, but still. It's been an... interesting three years, 1 month and 5 days, much of it recorded in these digital pages. So, in the few remaining minutes before I must go and face my doom (Greek Tragedy 3) I look back ( Read more... )

"Well, friend: your shape is not unhandsome - for the pursuit of women (he adds quickly), which is the purpose of your presence here. You are no wrestler, I can tell from these long curls cascading most seductively over your cheek (he pets one). Your skin, too, shows a whiteness carefully preserved; you keep away from the sun's heat, walk in the ( Read more... )
