Ick. Been a strange couple of days, and completely unproductive, but I'm feeling vaguely contented and surprisingly un-guilty. I keep telling myself that work starts PROPERLY next week, i.e. spending hours in the library reading my texts and putting myself to bed at 11, rather than faffing about with introductions to Penguin editions and calling it ( Read more... )

This is getting ridiculous. I lost my wallet a second time yesterday! Admittedly it wasn't actually lost the second time, it turned out to have been in my room all along, but I still can't believe I left the house without it just hours after getting it back thanks to a massive stroke of luck. This put me in the unenviable position of going for ( Read more... )

All is well. Wallet was found by the wonderful, lovely, kind sweet staff of Honey's who handed it in at my college lodge. Must have left it there after dashing in for emergency post-tutorial chocolate this morning. Evidently getting my chocolate home in a hurry is far more important to me than actually making sure I have all my belongings ( Read more... )

It's official. Revision, sleep-deprivation and a near-constant nagging headache have driven me mad. For the first time in recent memory I have lost my wallet. I'm basically quite daft and I lose stuff all the time but I NEVER lose my wallet, it lives in my bag and my bag only and I am ridiculously paranoid about it. Debit card, Bod card, driving ( Read more... )

After my impromptu session with Sophocles in the early hours of this morning (unsatisfying; I was too tired to give him my full attention and therefore we didn't really connect) I went to sleep and had a dream that my best friend from school, whom I haven't spoken to for about a year and a half, had come to visit me in Oxford. We wandered around ( Read more... )

My brain is actually hurting. This is both a good thing, because it suggests i've done some work today, and a bad thing because it reveals how affronted my brain was when I attempted to make it wake up early, sit through a two-hour philosophy revision tutorial and read a reasonable amount of Latin all in one day. Which ought not to be impossible, ( Read more... )

Hmmm, it's been an odd day. Despite my vaguely optimistic entry yesterday I managed to get practically nothing done afterwards, which was a bit of a bugger. Yesterday evening was great though - met up with a few friends for wine, random games and general gigglage, followed by Narcissists with youareafairy and her Regent Street Posse. Highlights of the night ( Read more... )

Go me, it's only 3pm and I've already done a not completely insignificant amount of work today. Admittedly it was reading Aeneid XII, which I should have done roughly a year ago, but hey. I also proved myself a bit of a geek by going to a lecture I actually went to this time last year, and then a COMPLETE geek by taking notes again. But I do have a ( Read more... )

Work-avoidance measures I have taken today include, but are not limited to ( Read more... )
