Oh, I'm in a ridiculously good mood today. Well, so far at any rate. And as it's not yet 8am and all I've done so far is write 500 words on the social influence of globalisation vis-a-vis authoritarian developmental regimes (*breathe*), eat approximately 180g of all-natural! smooth and creamy!, contains acidophilus! yoghurt (I still have a ( Read more... )

And where's that killer final sentence when you need it?

SUCH A RELIEF.

And again: three hours until I have to have this essay done. Then work, library, work again, home and study, then sleep. Perhaps. I'm on the hour-and-a-half sleep a night buzz, and it's always horrible to come down from: the horrible half-dead, grainy feeling after the first real sleep again ( Read more... )

I may say this every time, but I have NEVER been this far behind with essays due the next day. Less than four and a half hours before I have to leave the house and hand them in, and one of them is not even a third written.

Well, I'm back, I think. I hope ( Read more... )

Mmm, another essay-morning sulk. Fortunately we've got past the temper tantrum (3am: printing out the draft, but the printer won't work. Why? because I had somehow managed to drop a couple of coins in the printer, which got stuck and messed things up). Plus, this one is actually going allright...and will be done within the next hour. Indeed ( Read more... )

Because it was 30% off, I had to go and buy a skirt today...a girly one with a bit of a kick and oh, the prettiness. If my boots were at all practical to go to work in I think I'd live in skirts this winter ( Read more... )

See, I understand it when people say that something we sell is xxx cheaper at another store. We don't price match, but other people might, and...okay. I can accept that.
