drifting about like a plate tectonic

hathycolI am feeling very very ill indeed. I think it's ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shrimpeh who thinks that it might be bird flu. He might be right. I can feel the aftereffects of the hangover and a night of dancing, but then there's quite a lot of other bits that make me feel like shit.
Let's see how tomorrow turns out, okay?
I am desperately trying to finish the first draft of my history coursework. I am doing very, very badly. Why in the name of buggary is the European Witch-Craze so dull? How on earth is Charles II made so cool but this HURTS? I mean, god. This should be brilliant for me - I adore religious history. I find it absolutely fascinating just to see how and why every religion keeps on schisming and then keeps on basically having war. I adore deeply theological and almost sociological arguments as to why people have this kind of war. But oh no. This is BORING, apart from briefly quoting Granny Aching. "... no one to speak for those with no voices..." and god, that really doesn't keep you entertained when you've spent so long staring at the computer screen that it actually hurts.
And yes, I've had a week to do this. I am a bad person. I will probably spend tomorrow afternoon on it, I think. No English - thank you, god! thank you! - so afternoon off where I can't afford the bus fare home. How pathetic. I know.
You know what I want? I want a new book to get engrossed in. I think I will have to take a trip to the library tomorrow. Recommend me something.
[ETA: I have just spent fifteen minutes trying to find where it said that Luther said the word 'Devil' in speeches for often than 'God'. I think I need to give up and accept my fate. Why do I remember random little things like that but I can't remember what date the Counter-Reformation kicked off? Or for that matter, my mother's birthday, which is at Some Point in the following week but I don't know which Point. Okay, I'm going to go and have a shower and go to bed. This is just not going to get done. I am a bad student.]
