I have an english exam on thursday, so I am posting on here to procrastinate. Later I am going to watch A Streetcar Named Desire as yet another thinly veiled little subversion of whatever studying is supposed to be, using "learning Tennessee Williams" as an excuse for "drooling over marlon brando".

Then I will learn Yeats. I will actually learn Yeats, like, to a tee. Please tell me about Yeats because I can't get a firm hold on it. Apparently this is uniform, but hey what do I know?

I'm just nerding out.

Admiring cowcow's portait of me.


I shall add to it

if I notice anything in your posts!
Yeats is boring.
Although he's wayy better than Seamus heaney!


and I'm making toast w/ lemon curd

and shouting at my mum for noseying in my room :@


She's going through my receipts and shopping bags

Not exactly crime of the century, but an invasion of privacy nonetheless!


Tis

I'm getting a lock for my bedroom


:D

even better!


Yeats

He's a fungih.


learning about nationalism

then relating it to frankenstein. And plotting picnics. Yes.


I only know a bit about Yeats...

...mainly the war stuff and a partial amount of biographical info. Not enough to pass an exam.

I'm revising political ideologies and pissing time away on here.


I've got that In Our Time of the Yeats war stuff

Otherwise I think i'll be doing the more arty farty end of the spectrum. It is quite difficult to write about.


i am currently watching Dinosaur Jr videos on YouTube

then i will read Notes From Underground.


currently watching leeds united losing to carlisle.

after that, i don't know what i'll be doing.


I've only just woken up.

Damn that swift sleep catch up felt good.


i read Persausion today

even though i'm not doing Austen in the exam, i'm just the Cool Boffin - another one of my favourite reads.

I shall read Shit Bird of Youth in bed tonight, then Streetcar tomorrow.


Yeah I was planning to read them both today

THEN THE LIBRARY WAS FULL.

Fuck off, actual students.


sunshine

I was a good little student and studied hard today in the library. It was so spacious with lots of study desks. The weather was trying to mug me off though. But hey, I am one of those people that can 'cope' without any sun.


i have the same english exam, ^5

so i should be learning shakespeare quotes but i will probably waste the evening on the internet instead, because i suck.
also, if i can't answer the shakespeare question i'm essentially screwed, because i haven't even looked at the poetry stuff since the prelim and i'm not going to have time to do so. but you know, unconditional, etc. maybe it will be an interesting life experience to fail an exam anyway. yeah.


Hmm yeah.

Ditto on the unconditional.
Even though i've basically slacked off all year and been really nonchalent about everything, i'm still gonna be annoyed to see a "no award" on my certificate. Probably just because i'm arrogant and believe things should be handed to me on a silver platter. But still, 2 days of revision should be enough to satisfy my ego.

If a good question comes up for Tenn. Wills I will probably die of happiness. Yeats will be a lot more difficult. Austen is out of the question because she's a stupid bint.


*every


yeah that

or just posting on dis
