well, i've got an evil seminar tomorrow, involving (what would normally be) a couple of days worth of research & reading to write a presentation, and also a super-fun exam on everything we did last semester. fucking great.
and what am i doing? bumming about here instead of working... :headbang:


so, anybody else got anything you should be doing instead of reading this crap?

Sleeping. I have to work in 8 hours. Ehh, it's a 9 hour shift, too. It's an awful feeling, knowing that you'll be working twice as long as you'll sleep.

I should be sleeping... I mean, it's just about 11 AM here, so normally I should be awake anyway at this time. But I just came back from visiting a grad school yesterday and had a great time - but my 2-day visit was packed with mental and emotional stimulation, so my mind has been buzzing all night!

I was exhausted last night and thought I'd get to sleep at around 8 PM (I know, insanely early), but then I couldn't actually fall asleep. So I putzed around until 11ish. And then I did go to sleep, but only until 2:30 AM - at which point I woke up and couldn't get to sleep again until 7 AM. And then I wasn't sleeping well at that point either, so I got out of bed at 9:30 AM.

And here I am.

Ugh.

Getting out of bed (I love having my laptop on my bookshelf just 2"/5cm above my pillow, if that), going to school brunch then finishing the overdue evil English essay where one sentence takes more time than a normal paragraph. I hate having to count the number of words in each sentence, it cramps meh style!

I think you'll find that constitutes cruel and unusual punishment under the usual conventions.

Its called a University! Welcome to college life. Frankly it was either a 8 am class or a 6-9 pm class!

I opted for the 8 since it is an hour long and not three!

I dunno. When I was at college f/t, an hour in the bed was worth three in the bar (at that time of the evening anyway).

You're not at LSE by any chance, with those hours?

London School of Economics. It's where I did my Masters, and it's the only UK college I know that works those sort of hours. They may of course have borrowed the idea from America - their student intake is extremely international.

Am I going to have to exert online parental authority to get you to study? I'm going to trust you to do what you have to be prepared for that test (it's 1:05 PM...tick..tick..tick..), but please let me know your grade on it so I'll know if I need to be stricter in the future. :p

I still need to get some sleep - and I have emails to write (business-oriented ones) and my finances to balance... oh yeah, and finishing up some Valentine's stuff.

I could be revising for my politics test on the Prime Minister and the Cabinet on Wednesday 23rd (God bless half term), but...nah. My teacher will either forget or not turn up anyway. Here's an excerpt from my last lesson with her.

*bell goes to mark end of period (one period of politics left to go)*

Teacher: Right, I'm going now.
Student: Where are you going?
Teacher: London.
Student: Can we come?
Teacher: No, you can't come...unless you want to see me having holes drilled through my jaw.

*period of silence*

Teacher: Right, now read these pages and do these questions, and go when the pips go. See you.

*Teacher leaves. Students close books and talk until lesson ends 35 minutes later, whence we all leave.*
