So strange.. I’m reading Anne Rice’s The Tale of the Body Thief and guess what it’s got one of the Talamasca guys reading. Goethe’s Faust. Which is basically the same as the play that we’re studying & dissecting every Thursday afternoon. The endings are different though. Goethe has Faust going to heaven while in the play Dr. Faustus winds up in hell. I haven’t gotten too far in the book yet, but hopefully it’ll tell me a bit more about Faust so I could use it in my essay about Dr. Faustus..

Just an interesting little tidbit I thought I’d point out.

And I had a strange dream. I was at the train station and I kept forgetting really important things in my room. Like my train tickets and clothes. So I called my mom and she sent my uncle over to bring them to me. His was a lot longer, thicker & curlier.. But otherwise the same guy I saw.. erm.. well, it’s been awhile. ^-^ Then I missed the train even though I was on the platform! Ridiculous really..

Urgh.. had a fire drill this morning. At 7:30 a.m… Made me fall out of bed too. Plus Lewis banging on my door didn’t help.. -_-;; So I’ve been up ever since. It’s a really strange feeling, not having slept enough yet being so awake. And my being cheerful really confuses everyone. No caffeine in me. Naturally up. XD

So, going to Rotherham tonight, Leicester tomorrow then back to Aber on Sunday. Should find out today when I’ll be getting the rest of my stuff. o/

Spent an hour talking to my personal tutor yesterday. She’s really nice. :-)

I wanna do _some_thing.. I feel like I should do something! Can’t sit still.. Maybe they’ve added caffeine into the marmalade or toast I had this morning.. This is so unlike me. I really wish I had sneakers so I could go out for a walk or a run or something. Yesterday I went out and saw cows. Enjoying the sunshine just like me. ^-^

Erm, okay.. I’ll just wander around campus before French. No wait.. I won’t.. hrmph.. Can’t decide. Anywayz, I probably won’t post anything until next week. Since I won’t be here.. duh.. Okay, going..

Heavenly Cloud
Congratulations! You scored 18 CuddlePoints out of 22!

Cuddling with you, is like sleeping on a cloud… it doesnt get ANY better than that… You are the BEST Cuddler there is, and there isn’t anyone (well… except maybe the Stone Slab) who wouldn’t want to cuddle with you! In fact… Wanna come cuddle?

I’m cuddly! *grin* o/ Anyone disagree? :-P

Global Gypsy
You scored 63% worldliness!

You are a true internationalist. For you home is not defined by a country but by your family and friends, many of whom are internationalists like you.

Hmm.. well, pretty much what I thought.. Haven’t called any place home really for a few years now.. is that a good or a bad thing?

New Classics
You scored 63 popularity, 44 history, 56 creativity, and 54 texture!

You like common, modern-sounding names, that have some flair but still feel down to earth, like Karen, Jeremy, Brendan and Melissa. They’ve been around for a couple generations, so they don’t sound weird, but they don’t feel like shiny plastic toys that just tumbled off the assembly line either, because everyone knew someone by these names growing up. These names have their own section as New Classics in The Baby Name Wizard, and share some traits with the more dated 70’s and 80’s catagory. Other catagories with names you might like are: Old-Fashioned, Tryndee, Legendary, Biblical The naming style most unlike yours is Fantasy. You groan when you hear that someone named their baby Mystique or Frodo, and suspect the poor kid will be teased mercilessly. It’s not likely you’ll find many names to agree on with somone who has that naming style.

Definitely not calling my future kid(s) Frodo or Eowyn or anything like that..

Well.. our assignment was supposed to be only 250 words, but as usual, I wrote over the limit. But it’s okay, according to my teacher. We’ll just have to cut it down if we use it in class. Most of what I write will probably wind up in my portfolio. Seeing as it’s gotta contain both poetry and prose (2,500 words’ worth), it should be pretty easy. It’s the commentary that’s worrying me..

Still, click here if you wanna read it. Please do and tell me what you thought! The good and bad.. anything and everything you think. =)

Brainy Student
51% Tastefulness, 58% Originality, 42% Deliberateness, 34% Sexiness

[Tasteful Original Random Prissy]

Your style is classic but not glamorous. You don’t concentrate on clothes an awful lot, preferring to spend your time on more interesting matters. You don’t want to look like everyone else and your probably take care to have a unique element or two in your outfits, just to emphasize your personality, but, on the other hand, you don’t need too much attention paid to your looks. Believe it or not, fashion says some things about character. You’re probably quite an intellectual and somewhat reserved. But your style is not bad.

The opposite style from yours is Sex Bomb [Flamboyant Conventional Deliberate Sexy].

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 26% on Tastefulness

You scored higher than 54% on Originality

You scored higher than 7% on Deliberateness

Well, just when I thought my Mondays were bad enough (from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.) the listening skills part of French is being moved to 9 a.m. from it’s 1 p.m. position on Friday! Luuuuuuurvely. *rolls eyes* But at least the rest of my week is fairly easy. ^-^ Like today and tomorrow, nothing. No classes. Gives me time to complete assignments for Writer’s Art and Study of English seminars. So for Friday I have to write 250 words worth of descriptive prose. Should be simple enough. I’ve already done all the observations I need for it, now I just gotta write it out. That is, if the teacher approves of my idea. I wasn’t so sure it was exactly what he wanted so I e-mailed him and asked. No reply yet.. I thought I was going to get the list of possible essay topics yesterday at the lecture but the guy didn’t give us any! Mih.. I wanted to start thinking of stuff to write about. I won’t be getting any work done this weekend so a headstart would’ve been nice…..

Colored

When I born, I black. When I grow up, I black. When I go in sun, I black When I cold, I black. When I scared, I black. When I sick, I black. And when I die, I still black.

You white folks…… When you born, you pink. When you grow up, you white. When you go in sun, you red. When you cold, you blue. When you scared, you yellow. When you sick, you green. When you bruised, you purple. And when you die, you gray.

So who you calling colored?

I have no idea who wrote this, but apparently it was by a black guy in Texas. Anyway, I just thought I’d share. ^-^

I finally have my train tickets to go see Oliver and Ryan next weekend! Altogether it cost me £52, but £20 was the railcard. And the railcard gave a 34% discount immediately. So it’ll be well worth it, even if I only take one more trip with it. ^-^ And I plan on seeing Oliver once a month at least. So it’ll really pay for itself in the following months.

Hmm.. other news. Not much really. Had French. Went into town with Linnea, bought French books.. I realized I had left my pictures back in my room, so I had to come back up and get them before I went to get my tickets. So when I took the bus back, I didn’t realize it was the bus that took me back to the train station, not up the hill.. All I saw was 501. So I just waited for the next 501 to show up at the station and talked to Lewis on the way back up. He happened to be in town buying books as well. Then when I got back from buying the tickets I decided to have dinner at the cafeteria (didn’t feel like cooking). I got loads of food for just £1,79! It’s amazing. And it wasn’t that bad either. I’ll have to go there again..

Ki-lin
You scored 60% Esotericism, 20% Power, and 20% Malevolence!

A mythical being of Chinese mythology, comparable with the Western unicorn. Ki-lin personifies all that is good, pure, and peaceful. It lives in paradise and only visits the world at the birth of a wise philosopher. The unicorn, which can become one thousand years old, is portrayed as a deer with one horn, the tail of an ox, the hooves of a horse, and a body covered with the scales of a fish. It is one of the four Ling.

Still no mail. Weird. I really want my bank card! And no e-mails either. Except from teachers, which is kinda unsettling. Friends don’t send me e-mails, but teachers do.. o_O;; Then again, I do talk to them on MSN Msgr so I can’t really complain. Except when they’re not there.. like now.

Yesterday.. didn’t do much. Went into town, bought a sweater (B.wise is a really cheap store!), sat by the seaside and wrote haikus (gonna put them up here later tonight probably), came back, had lunch outside and then wrote a letter to Jaz & Jade. That’s basically it. No classes.. Today I’ve only got one seminar which doesn’t start until 4 p.m. So I gotta figure out how to while away the hours before it’s time to go there.. It’s at times like these when I really wish that I had my own computer. Then I wouldn’t be so bored. I’ve already started the tasks on Dr. Faustus which don’t need to be done until like next week! I think today’s when they actually tell us when the tasks are due. I’m just a bit nervous about the essays that we have to write. Well, at least we don’t have any exams. ^-^ French listening is most likely being moved to Tuesday morning. So that means I could (in theory) make it to the 1:30 train. o/ I timed myself yesterday; I left the Porter’s Lodge at about 11:05 and I was on the platform next to the train at 11:24. I didn’t run, but I did walk a bit faster than I usually do. So especially if I run down the hill (could be dangerous), I’ll have a pretty good chance of making it. Which means (that if the train isn’t delayed and I make it to the connecting train at Birmigham) I should be in Sheffield at about 6 p.m. Not bad.. I wasn’t expecting to get there until like midnight if I’d’ve had to take the 5:15 train. So that’s like 3 hrs off the train journey. ^-^

I’m probably now gonna go back to looking up recipied on LHJ. Got loads of different pancake ones yesterday.
