(no subject)

hathycolIt's been a busy few days. Given that it is now Week 2 and I have a presentation to do a week on Friday, I felt it was high time I started doing some academic work. This is why I have spent the last few days mainlining Primeval (I have no shame, and I don't think 'fancying Hannah from S Club 7 a bit' is an excuse), sorting out DocSoc stuff and cleaning the house. Obviously.
In all seriousness, I have some very good intentions to start working soon, honestly. I have some books on my desk that I may or may not actually read today. I am also currently filling in application forms and attenting careers talk with the manic look in my eye of "I NEED TO BE EMPLOYED WHEN I LEAVE THIS PLACE AND I AM DOING A FOOLISH DEGREE." I am aware that it would significantly aid my degree and therefore my job chances if I were to get out of my pajamas and perhaps trot down to the library, but thus far the most significant piece of research towards my courses thus far has been DocSoc last night, when we watched The Stones of Blood and they referenced some Welsh stuff and Henry VIII in short succession.
You see, I'm currently feeling a little 'blah' about my course selections as thus far, all I've done is express a visceral horror at the pronunciation of medieval Welsh (not as much trouble as the JSAs are having, I suspect; at least eighteen years being nearish to Wales helps a tiny bit) and attempting to try and puzzle my way through The Wars of the Roses. So, yeah. Basically I just have no connection with either subject just yet, which doesn't make me want to work. Unfortunately, as of next week I'm starting on the essay research and then I'm stuck in the cycle until May. ARGH ARGH ARGH.
Okay. Stuff To Do:
1. Reading for Henry VIII class. On Henry VII. Don't ask.
2. Reading for Edward I class.
3. Fill in application forms.
4. Wrangle through the web of beaurocracy for DocSoc; I now have to fill in risk assessment forms which sort of just makes me want to drink bleach during a meeting to prove a point, as well as the equally tiresome budget proposal forms.
I have to do some stuff that involves leaving the house, but I have no inclination to do this. My knee is throbbing rather alarmingly and has been hurting like hell all morning, which made work a barrelful of laughs. As, of course, it always is.
