hathycolI've sat down to do my English homework and for once it's actually done. I also feel proud of myself for the comments I got about my story - as predicted, she doesn't like the ending, but she, in a surprise note, seems to have remembered the story insofar that me and Susie were talking about characterisation a lot later on, and I was bitching about how you can't really develop a character in a story. Sue promptly looks up and says "Ooooh, but I really like Carden - he's sweet." Huzzah, for she has remembered Carden. Apart from the horrible washed out feeling I get when I have to type "So, get to it girl!" as part of coursework, I actually do feel quietly proud that I finished it.
Today was... strange. I didn't really do anything, only it's just dawned on me that, actually, I did a lot. Could it be that I am, in fact, used to college work now? All in all, I was fairly busy.
The film was fun; I want to give Milton a hug. It was also rather funny. The real bonus was Gary Cole - I squeaked when I saw his name in the titles and spent the rest of it feeling weird whenever he used that... normal accent as opposed to the Southern drawl I'm used to hearing him employ. (For... everyone on this list, Gary Cole played Sheriff Lucas Buck in American Gothic.)
Did my talk on Liberalism this afternoon, which was fine, despite not having notes. As such, I adlibbed based on what was on my earlier Powerpoint. Phew. She then starting asking me what I thought of Advanced Liberalism, and I took time to explain that yes, it wasn't too bad, but you still had that horrible Rich/Poor divide...
Possibly sensing Political Radicalism in the same way that sharks sense blood in the water, Elaine promptly leaps on me.
"Well, who would you vote for?" (I blink.) "Sorry, I know that's a personal question..."
"No one, at the moment."
"Why?"
"I'm Labour in principal - I believe in socialism, to an extent. But I don't think that Tony Blair - or most of the Cabinet - are what I would consider Labour."
"Really?"
"Yes."
Came home, made tea, and then that was my day.
Over halfterm, there will be much Stargate geekiness, and I am also dragging![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
flickerswitch into Liverpool. This is for several reasons. She needs to see Liverpool, for a start. Also, I have no doubt that we will find the much-desired dogtags. Thirdly, I'm seriously considering getting my nose pierced. But because I can, I have done this:
[Poll #247255]
Hmmm. I know that it will hurt. A lot. Does anyone know if the needle or the gun hurts more? And which does Quiggins use?
Yeah. I'm going to go to bed or... something now. I'm tired.
