labellementeuseI am studying in the library.
When I say "studying" really I mean looking out the window, messing with my hair, banging my head repeatedly against the desk, going on trips to get food and hot chocolate (which no I did not drink in the library), and, only when I have exhausted all other options, occasionally c\glancing at the notes I'm supposed to be reading.
It would doubtless help if I understood the Local Standard of Rest EVEN A LITTLE BIT, but I think I am resigned to just skipping that- I mean, I've looked and looked at it and I just don't get it. So, well, it's lucky all the long questions in this exam are optional- there are three sections, each worth 20%; one is multi-choice on both topics, and the other two are topic-specific and they have three long questions each, of which I have to answer two. So I shall simply not answer anything about the LSR and that will be FINE, or it better be.
Anyway, this is why I am speaking to you at the moment, because I am trying to avoid study some more. :P So, how are you all, in yourself? What are you doing today? Where are you going with your life? And how's the lovelife? I expect you all to answer. ;)

Date: 2005-06-19 04:35 am (UTC)I'm writing three page rants on Maxis (makers of Sims2) and pretending I have inspiration to write. After that I think I'll go alphabetize my socks or something.
Or maybe I'll rant on lj's spell check, which is teh suck.
*g* Rincewind! Science of Discworld 3 came out but it's $60 and I cannot afford it, woe. And I don't really read the science bit, so I'm paying for half a book. (Which isn't to say I wouldn't have it if I had $60.)

Date: 2005-06-19 05:35 am (UTC)*snort* I've never bothered with spellcheck because I just assumed it was American (is it?) and, well, I boycott color. PLUS there's all that HTML which I bet would come up all red and squiggly underlined.
$60!!11 WTF? Oh, is it hardback? I still haven't gotten around to reading 1 and 2 even though I actually own one of them. >.> I do want to, but I always try to read the science and then I get headaches. *guilty*

Date: 2005-06-19 05:44 am (UTC)It's American, yeah, so it keeps trying to replace my s's with z's. I like z's but really. It doesn't learn at all either. You would have thought that they'd add the characters from Harry Potter or something, so it would stop trying to change Dumbledore to 'Tumbledown'. And it thinks Jarod is spelt Jared. Hate.
Yup, hardback. The Science books are often more expensive than the others for some reason. I'll blame it on the mass stupidity of book shop assistants. Heh, I started reading the first one and was learning and then I was trying to explain to someone the science and I realised it just wasn't going in. I was too busy inwardly tantruming for the next chapter of Rincewind and the wizards. So in the end I just gave up and read all the story.

I suppose it's not their fault though, although I personally have always wondered why software companies that sell in non-US-spelling countries don't have, like, two different spelling checkers, and sell one in the US and one elsewhere... it can't be that hard, can it? And it would make a lot of people v happy.
Ah. :P Yeah, I know the feeling!

I loved being allowed to do my own specials on books that weren't going to be returned. I'd drop 22.99 paperbacks down to 19.99 pretty much straight away.
What do you mean, 'profit margin?'
