Today I rose relatively early and took a few hours to myself. I walked to campus with a housemate, as we had a lecture on 'Modernism and the Short Story'. Afterwards I popped into the library to check some information in a book I took out last week and bumped into about three friends. On the way home I made the mistake of trying to take a shortcut through the inside of the hospital, rather than walking through the carpark, as it was raining. As a result I got hopelessly lost and arrived home far later than intended. I then played several levels of Unreal Tournament, which I have discovered to be horribly addictive and mindlessly fun. One of my housemates also does English, and we have a big essay due in this week; we met in the kitchen and made strong cups of coffee and procrastinated by watching Countdown. I then dropped in on another of my housemates who was having problems with her maths coursework, trying to write and use functions in MATLAB. After watching and trying to help for a while, I have returned up to my room at the top of the house, and after one last match of Unreal Tournament, I am ready to face Romanticism once more. That was my day so far, although who knows what time it'll actually end.
