Has anyone spoken to
raeyashi recently? I emailed her last week but no reply. I know she's crazy busy, but if anyone's spoken to her, let me know, please?

Argh! Back to work, I guess. Oh, Omid Djalili made racists of us all and we loved it, apparently. No, seriously, it was an awesome, awesome night.

OK, work. I've just edited one of the pieces for the research skills project and god knows what is going on there, seriously. About to look at another one. The girl keeps saying that there's no research but it's a creative writing piece and to be honest, there isn't research to back up a lot of what she wants because no-one really knows what happened. I've asked her to be more specific so that I can hit up the bitch that is wikipedia, but this is one of those days when I wish I'd brought my two Dorling-Kindersleys with me. My encyclopaedia and my wonderfully enormous and fact-filled dictionary both would have been so much more informative than the texts that I've found.

Finished Native Son this morning. That novel fills me with rage at points, so this week's class should be interesting. I really need to force myself to get started on the assignment for that class, too.
Starting Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry today; that looks good. Also, I have no idea what's going on in Farewell, My Lovely, but it's still really good. Will finish that in a couple of days; starting Wolf tomorrow. By the time I get to Easter break, I'll only have Northern Lights to read. Well, no, that's a lie. I have my weekly stuff for On Reading, and texts for that, too, but Tutor hasn't told us to buy those texts so I can't read them in advance. I really need to go and talk to her about the term-end assignment (the 4k one that's due just before finals) so I should set that up soon. I think I'll email her in a minute, actually. I'm supposed to visit my personal tutor, too, which I really don't want to do (hate on my average grades and hate on the dissertation topic that I have yet to choose). Hello Stress. I haven't see you in about a week. So nice to see you again. Have a foot up your hind.

NEED TO GET A JOB OVER THE SUMMER. NEED TO. HATE. There is so much to do and I'm thinking about summer jobs now because I need to be proactive. Have also emailed SLS for a character reference. Am worried about SK because have not heard from him in a while. So I'm really ratcheting up the stress. I'm an idiot.
Ooh, toast....
