It's been a good two weeks since I updated and there is, I promise, a good reason for it. I spent pretty much all of revision week and exam period in the foyer, actually studying, and feel as though I haven't completely bombed my classes, particularly linguistics--I felt good about that exam. Classics could have been a lot better though. English ( Read more... )

It's important to be honest, and I will not get offended by anything anyone says. this is a growth exercise. If you have not met me, leave a comment suggesting the impression you ( Read more... )

Hey kids, sorry for not updating at all. The May Dip was a blast; photos are in an album, rather appropriately titled 'May Dip' at this site. It was really cold, and I got salt water up my nose, but I don't know that I've ever had so much fun in my life. A good time was had by all. I wonder if the legend from Ireland about leaving part of your ( Read more... )

Tomorrow morning is the May Dip, and I'm going to run into the sea at 4:30 in the morning. I think I must have lost my mind. Tonight there is a pre-dip party over at Susie Paton's, where I think we're going to watch X-Men 2 and Donnie Darko and stay up all night before we go down to the Castle Sands to play. There will be photos. I am excited ( Read more... )

So, basically, I won't be flying home early; this much we've established. In addition to the incompetence of the CheapTickets phone line people (and for that call, mind you, I went over my alotted minutes for my telephone account and was charged £1.80, mind) we've been advised by the principal not to leave until the end of exam period due to the ( Read more... )

I was thinking about coming home early from Scotland, or trying to anyway; after my call tonight, sorry NC kiddos, that won't be happening. This is the letter I sent to CheapTickets following said phone call, and if you need more information, I'll tack on an ETA; just let me know if you want the whole sordid story ( Read more... )

It's funny how much more there is to read on LiveJournal when you're a member of a community. I joined the Panic! At The Disco community. You can laugh if you want. It's very strange and I don't know if I'll stay in it, but I do like it because it was through this group that I've found the two music videos ("But It's Better If You Do" and "I ( Read more... )

When I went in the Raisin tonight, the second music video they played was "I Write Sins Not Tragedies."

:)

(And then in the Union, Katie and her friends attempted to do karaoke to "Devil Went Down To Georgia," and it was beautiful. And by beautiful, I mean hilarious. Then we got chips and cheese. Mmmm.)

So we ended up spring break in Edinburgh. Actually, no, let me start that again. I wound up going to see One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest after all, on my own, on Thursday afternoon. I got a seat in the sixth row and thoroughly enjoyed myself. It's a very hard play to watch because there is very little comic relief, but Christian Slater is ( Read more... )

I decided last week to try something: I poked a whole bunch of people on my buddy list to see if they would reciprocate or ignore it. I have a feeling that people just return the poke feature because it's almost like a courtesy thing. So it makes me extremely happy to look on my front page of facebook and see this:
