Sorry I've been so slack with updating this week, but I was panicking about an exam I had today for Functional Grammar and trying to get my shit together for my VEG essay (due Friday, freaking out). 

My exam was awful. I mean, I know we all say that about every exam we've ever had, but I'm completely serious. Bad, bad, bad. I struggled with the entire course the whole way through and I knew I'd be fucked up by the exam, but it's still kind of crushing to sit through a two hour exam and not really be able to do it as well as you'd like. I even had a cheat sheet and all. Fail.

I also had a Phonetics transcription test today for which I studied this morning for about an hour. I had a feeling it was going to be an African language, so fortunately I paid a little attention to clicks...My IPA chart has about five clicks on it and I can properly identify three of them, but there are two (palatoalveolar and postalveolar) that I can't tell the difference between. Naturally they came up. The other thing about the text today was that it was live...Usually we do our transcription tests in tutorials and the sets are prerecorded on a computer and we have to transcrible them from there, but today we had the added bonus (and distraction) of having an incredibly beautiful African woman to look at while we worked. Good times.

So, yeah. Have to get it together and get on with this essay...I'm not going to uni tomorrow and I'm not in on Friday anyway, so that's at least a couple of days to deal with it. Urgh.

Keeping it short today because I'm about to fall asleep (even though it's only about 11:30 pm). Be good, ladles and jellyspoons and I shall check back on Friday or so.

P.S. Moving into our new place on Saturday...My room's not all the way packed. Drop off my essay on Friday and come back to resume the packing bonanza. Woo.
