Jesus the noise the Macbook CD Rom drive makes is not a happy one. It sounds like crunching at first. Though at least I have little chance of snapping this one off.
2000 word formative (ie pointless) essay due in tomorrow in class at 9am.
I’ve thus far written 92 words.
I want my new computer. I’m such a child.
In the mean time it’s time to knuckle down and write this thing using only Wikipedia and some vaguely irrelevant JSTOR sourced articles.

It would be nice if all of my lecturer’s could use Blackboard/Portal (the online component of our courses) properly.
One puts everything up, neatly organised by week. In this class most people do a good chunk of the reading.
One puts things up week by week, and in no particular order. People do some of the reading. It’s for this one that I’m especially annoyed, as I’ve a...

When I bought my macbook it turned up the next day :)
Exciting! I’m doubtful because the shipping was free of charge, but hey, maybe Apple are better than Amazon at actually having things delivered. God I’m so excited to have a shiny, modern and fast laptop.
My new, overpriced, shiny Macbook arrives soon (it says tomorrow on the “order status” bit but that seems ambitious given that I only placed the order at 2pm today).
I’m hideously excited. And I hate myself for spending so much money on a company that I’ve previously never particularly liked. Oh god, does this mean that I have to return to using iTunes?!

I'm about to splash £1500 on a MacBook
AND I FEEL SO GUILTY.
NOT ABOUT THE MONEY (IT’S MINE, AND ANYWAY, I HAVE MY MOTHER’S DISTANT APPROVAL).
BUT IT’S ABOUT MY CURRENT LAPTOP.
It was a lovely, brilliant 16th birthday present from my grandparents who I hardly see; an excellent laptop with the specs I needed and everything I wanted. I’ve loved it for all these years, so much so that it’s dirty and...

I’m sorry but who actually writes a detailed plan and entire bibliography 4 weeks before an essay’s due in?
I write (and read) my bibliography whilst I’m actually doing the essay. There’s a high chance that I won’t use half of these books, and will pick ones at random in the library.
This essay presumes that I’m actually organised. It’s just not the way...

A bottle and a half of cava and I hardly have a hangover.
Har har har take that liver.
Spending most of the night eating probably helped. I’ve perfected the art of poached eggs and I’m far, far too pleased with myself.
Also we spent the evening watching such quality telly as The Joy of Teen Sex, a program that faintly masquerades as “informative” and...

my time is far shorter U____U
Sometimes I think I’m only studying abroad to lengthen my degree. I can’t face the real world.
You graduate this year, right?

dude lack of access to jstor after i graduate is gonna be a mess
I’m honestly horrified at the thought. That and not being able to access university libraries properly (like, you’re allowed in to most in the UK, but not with full access). I spend so much time reading irrelevant yet informative...

Tonight it’s just me, wine and JSTOR.
Oh dear.
I can never bring myself to fully read my course material, but I’ve blazed through a good few articles on queer history.

Cheers! It’s all useful information - I’m hideously uninformed about the entire accommodation situation, but I’m gradually learning.
Central and Northeast were my top choices, iirc, with Orchard Hill being more...

Also, they were both like “you have order from Wings!”. I’m a vegetarian. Balls to this.
I keep looking at the dining commons menus and realising that there’s only so much tofu I can eat. I foresee yet another year of pasta and pizza ahead of me.

Also, I had a horrible moment of realisation the other night. At one of AMS’s little corridor booze ups I finally got the chance to speak to two girls who’d studied abroad at UMass back in 2010/2011.
They were talking about their rooms, and casually mentioned that they both disliked their room mates and that the beds were oddly close together. I hate this kind of hearsay, as...

A dress I ordered has apparently been “out for delivery” since 7am this morning. It could arrive any time between now and 7pm, and it probably won’t arrive at all given my past experience with the courier company.
Oh Yodel, why would any decent company use you? Remind me to just shop purely at ASOS. At least they deliver via Royal Mail, even if my items end up festering under...
