I love my new timetable. I just wish it started now and I didn’t have an exam at 9 am on Saturday morning :S If only I could find out which genius set that up :hmm:

The exam is on language and context, which in theory shouldn’t be too hard as I’m familiar with it from two years ago. It’s just distinguishing between things like homonymy, homophony and homography which is difficult to remember. I think I’ve got it now though.

My timetable looks like this. Mondays and Fridays off every other week, and Wednesdays off in the other weeks. Lovely

I’m getting old, if I sit in the same position for more than a few minutes I get all kinds of aches and pains. For example, my foot was hurting until I moved it a couple of seconds ago, and now my back is aching. I know when I get into bed that my front will start hurting, from past experiments this morning and this afternoon. I’m not enitrely sure why. Maybe it’s my body complaining that I haven’t actually been out much except to go to the gym and go shopping.

In other wildly exciting news, I’ve been mocked for using Microsoft One Note. I can’t help it, it’s the funky checkboxes and the ruled lines and the lack of a ’save’ button that draws me to it. Plus the fact that I’m the world’s most notorious list maker, and if I have no reason to make a list, I will make an excuse to create one.

And that’s my wildly exciting life on a plate. Maybe when exams are over and I actually start going out again, I will be back in the days of interesting things to blog about. At the moment I am surfing pro-anorexia sites with a kind of sick, perverted fascination and watching ‘Bedknobs and Broomsticks’. I never realised before what an incredibly dirty film it is, there are phallic symbols all over the place. Or maybe it’s just me.

Well, I’m off to bed now to read the wild feminist rant also known as ‘Man Made Language’, which appeals to both my bitchy and geeky-linguist sides. Plus, I like to think that it counts as revision. Rawr :love:

Ha!!!!

HA!!!!!!

Went to sign up for Selected American Novels seminar and noticed the coursework essays for The Contemporary American Novel have been marked (this makes me sound like a wannabe-American, it’s just a long story why I signed up for two American Lit. modules…)….anyway….

I got a 75! Which is a first!! *dances*

Although he did comment on me being wayyy over the word count (I was about 1500 words over the maximum), which he totally didn’t pick up on last time. Hmmm. But word counts are stupid anyway. Heh.

I was really worried about that essay as well, because I thought I’d chosen the wrong question and messed it all up. Much love to Em for reading it for me and offering suggestions :love:

Now I just want to go around telling everybody, except there isn’t really anyone to tell…Grrr.

Ha! 75!

Ugh..stress. Yesterday was terrible, I kept having stupid arguments with people, I was really stressed about my exam this morning and my parents phoned up to tell me that they aren’t speaking to me because my phone bill was �268. Then my mum suggested I find a way of paying it off, which is not going to happen because I am already �200 into my overdraft. But it’s my own fault for buying Andy’s train ticket and spending �30 on underwear.

But now my exam’s over, Nika and Andy are talking to me, I’ve having nearly the whole weekend off and it’s all nice and sunny outside.

See? Not really January-in-England type weather

Plus, Andy’s coming tonight, and Tony Blair isn’t here this weekend to ruin our walks with his stupid police everywhere stopping us from walking through. Honestly, at the beginning of the year the conference centre was used to hold tractor sales and that was annoying enough…now we’ve progressed to the PM, things can only go more downhill. I missed the protest though, damn it.

My exam wasn’t actually that bad, although I only wrote about half as much as Nikki (think her handwriting is pretty big though) and I wrote a whole essay on the killing of a pig :hmm: Yeah, let’s just forget about that. I have 1 exam left now

I’m so tempted to walk around campus taking random photos with my camera, but considering it’s so sunny it’s deceptively cold. And it’s nearly lunchtime. So I’m going to start ‘revision’ for language and context, and then eat :love: I’m going to do a bumper return of comments sometime after my exam next week :love:
