hathycolI'm in the middle of writing an essay, and I'm checking my essay plan periodically, to make sure I'm not putting in stuff where I don't mean to. I'm a little anal-retentive with essay plans and spider diagrams and research. They're stuck up on the wall around me because my desk is so messy that it's the only way to keep track of them and everything. I know, I'm a freak.
Anyway, I just look up to my scrawl of an essay plan and where I'm currently at in the essay, I apparently need to write about 'achis matc.'
I need better handwriting. I'm going to assume that's something about the Papal Schism, because that's what I'm about to write.
I think, though, that 'achis matc' sums up the sort of day I'm having, really. Originally had a point, but now just nonsensical and I'll have to muddle my way through and hope for the best.
In other news, I dug out an old CD. I still know all the words to Konstantine. Anyone who knows that song should be suitably impressed.
[eta: Okay. I have made a sort-of tentative decision about Oslo. It is a tentative 'no' on the basis that I really can't afford it and that, most importantly, I'd have to change my degree from straight History to Medeival History. This is quite a big deal, because I don't want to give up studying modern history.
And, you know, I sat down and I talked to some people and I talked at my mum and I realised that I don't specifically want to study abroad. I don't even like the Vikings that much, other than in terms of their impact. Archeology and Runeology hold a very limited interest to me.
However. The clawing, nagging 'NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE OTHERWISE I WILL DIE' sensation still persists. I still want to go abroad So, as of the end of this weekend, I'm booking my summer. To put it precisely, I'm looking at going backpacking around somewhere As Yet Unspecified. I've looked at things like flights and youth hostels and it is not only do-able, but its do-able on the cheap. Italy looks very tempting.
Thank you all for your advice. You confirmed the thing I already knew - that I need to get out of here, and take opportunities by both hands, etc, etc. Oslo isn't the opportunity for me - although one day, I'd like to go - but this summer is still full and inviting.
Essentially, I'm going to have an adventure within the next year. Just try and stop me.
I may change my mind in the morning. There may be more angst. Sorry.]
