I’m so happy to have finished one essay that I can’t type properly. I did the entire first draft yesterday evening, in between posting on the fanfic forum, and I typed most of it out at university today. And guess what? The first draft was done by hand! Mostly I don’t even do a second draft for essays anymore. I suppose a change of medium works miracles. It does nothing for sticking to the word limit though. I can never do that anyway.
I should be in linguistics at the moment, but there’s nothing I can’ learn by looking over the notes which I print off the computer, and by reading the textbook. I do have my Linguistics tutorial soon though. *Sigh*. I can’t believe it’s turning out to be one of the most boring subjects. Plus, I don’t really like my tutor. She’s nice, but she doesn’t seem to accept that there are other was of pronouncing things. Like, I always pronounce my ‘r’s, so I put that in transcription, but she mostly says it’s a mistake. It annoys me, because I’m trying so hard to adopt a more widely accepted/comprehended accent. New Zealand English is hard to understand, and lazy pronunciation means bad spelling, in most cases.
So I’m totally exhausted. I have to do some history, and read up for my revolutions essay. I have to say I like this topic more than my previous one. This time I actually have some idea of what I’m going to talk about. Now I just need to grab those books from the restricted loan this afternoon. I wonder if I can leave the tutorial early.
Going to wolf down lunch now. I think I’ll do a proper entry later.
