Oh. My. God.

I am so slack, and so lazy and so awful, how will you ever manage to forgive me? 

The house we're living in now has an extraordinarily long hallway which is a bitch on so many levels. I mean, if you've left something in a bedroom, or in the lounge room, you have to decide if you really want to make the trek and go and get it. It's quite the task. But, the worst part is the router and various wireless deelies are in my mother's room, riiiiight at the front of the house, and the lounge room (where I most often sit) is riiiiiiiight at the back of the house. The back of the house where the internet doesn't reach. 

So poor internet acess and not having my laptop with me when I'm in wi-fi range are the reasons I haven't updated. Awfully sorry, f-list. 

Also, I've been dealing with this intense headache for the last few days which makes it hard to focus on a screen...Or book, or anything, really. My mother keeps telling me it's a tumour because she finds the fact that I might be a little bit of a hypochondriac a tad funny. Boy, will her face be red.

Move on, yes?

This week is my midsemester break and I have so much work to do it's stupid. I hope I'll actually do some of that work, lol, but it's 11:32 am on Monday morning and so far, nothing. There's still time. My primary issue is an essay for my Shakespeare class. 2000 words (I think) on the interaction between human and non-human animals in Shakespeare's work. It's actually a good question and I've kind of got some thoughts up my sleeve, but I am -- as per usual -- slow to start. It's due on the 7th and I want to have the bulk of the thing done this week. I guess I could be alright with having to collate and type next week, but the majority of the thing needs to be done while I have time to focus on it. Fat chance. I also have an essay to write for my 18th century literature class about...Something...I think I've decided to write it about different biographies of Samuel Johnson (Johnson, the star of my last English essay....The disaster that was over 800 words short...Let's hope that wasn't an omen). Not due until November, I think, so one thing at a time.

I also have to catch up on all of my reading, of which there is much, prepare for a discussion board post for the 18th century class (also about Johnson) and do a phonology assignment about tonal languages and how tone works according to the three Association Conventions...Which, in theory, I understand, lol.

Oh, balls.

I got a facebook message from my oldest little sister, Maddie (of Pope bobblehead fame), enquiring as to when I went back to uni and if she could come with me just for a day to see what it's like to be a uni student. Very endearing. So, the 6th (the day before my dashed essay is due which is why it needs to be done ASAP) is the day my sister will be accompanying me to a lecture, lol. The 6th is a Thursday and fortunately I only have one lecture on that day, so she can see what it's all about, and then we'll biff off and do lunch ;) Fun times. It's nice that she wants to spend some time with me and see what it's all about...None of my other siblings are that enthusiastic (not that I expect them to be) or interested. And it's also nice that she's aspiring to a higher education (again, none of my other siblings are). She's a good kid.

I'm going to try to get her lost in the Quad ;)

I know that post was all over the place...I'm procrastinating, lol...But I'm still here and things are going alright. Headache notwithstanding.
