That may be the second time I've used that lyric as a subject line.

So, I just read the best ER spoiler in [livejournal.com profile] thandienewton that absolutely made my day. It's fairly predictable but I won't go into the details here. Except to say HA I TOTALLY SAW THIS COMING - HA!

Finished the initial quotage from Measure for Measure - that's the thing about Lit. Just because you've made the effort to find the quotes doesn't mean the work's over. Oh no. Now I have to re-write the quotes, separating them by character and theme and then cut out the ones that don't overlap easily enough and then make my final list which I then have to learn. Oh joyous world.

However, am giving Bill Speare the boot for today because now I have to move on to War Literature. I need to go through my whole folder of notes, history, poetry, drama and literature (not to mention the notes Mrs P. gave us on Thursday) and do the same thing. That's right - pull out all the quotes. This is going to take years. Thanks god I've done most of the Wordsworth stuff already. Dude, when did Lit. become such a chore? Oh, that's right. When we started A-level. Gah.

Still haven't looked at any of my Eng. Lang. or Psych. I am so screwed, it's not even funny. And yet here comes hysteria.

Oh, and as an afterthought, can someone please tell me what the hell is the matter with the colouring here?

I'm online right now because I'm so bored. I'm trying to revise the war lit. but I think that I might start to cry if I have to look at another goddamn poem right now. All this and lang. and psych. yet to come. I'm so screwed. It's at times like this that I wish I could have taken classics, mythology, something other than lit. How awful is that? This is the subject I want to read at university. This sucks in a pretty huge way.

Wtf am I doing?

Still haven't seen last night's DH. Still don't care to. I'm spedning a few moments everyday making icons but the fannish is boring me quite severely. I don't think that's because of fandom itself; I'm just not focused on it right now. And anyway, nothing is like the last season of TWW so I guess I'm not getting a buzz out of it like I used to. Fandom, right now, is just not exciting.

Bumped into Dr. A today. Was walking my bike back from the fixitplace and I bumped into her. She seemed strangely pleased to see me. Weird. Of course, I never really know what to make of the woman. She can be nice enough so I shouldn't complain. I didn't tell her that I've been putting Wordsworth off lest it kill me dead.

As for HP, if I read it for an hour tomorrow, I'll finally have finished it. Knowing more about the third book than I do about the first, I'm picking up on smaller details but god, Rowling, what's with the way you write?! And how do grown adults bear it? I know, I know, it's supposed to get more sophisticated but it bloody well better do otherwise I'm going to be in a public stpre screaming untruths at startled customers.

Had a mini-fritz-out over spelling earlier and then had to calm down and figure out what exactly I was pissed about. I came to the conclusion that it was this person's poor orthography that annoyed me; it was the fact that it resulted in marring conduct codes - widely accepted lj conduct codes. The incident also told me that I'm obviously learning something about language construction because when I tried to justify my irritancy, not only did I realise the true source of my anger, I was qualifying my reasoning with evidence from the construction, use, spread and change in neologisms. That's one part of the exam I thus no longer have to worry so strongly about. too bad it only makes up circa 2%.

I'm going to go finish those icons, post 'em and then read some more HP.
