Much More Beautiful Person

School has returned with the new year, and already we've been back for four days and a weekend, which means that by now we have had all of our lessons at least once. With the whole new year thing, I've been asked about resolutions (which begs the question, are people obsessed with them because they think other people should change, or are they projecting and feel they really need to change? or, of course, neither. lots of people make resolutions and it can be interesting to see whether people make resolutions and what they are) I refuse to make a resolution at any rate, as any decision for positive change i make will not be influenced by largely irrelevant lunar and solar cycles.

Apart from my resolution to stop eating babies, of course.

Resolutions aside, many people are impressed by my truthful claims that I have not been drunk all year (I entered the year sober, setting a terrible precedent), which is depressing (both the fact that I have remained in a state of sobriety and the fact that people were impressed by only nine days of it.

lessons so far have mostly been boring as usual, with computing being especially dull (practical work on our projects; I can only work on mine at home due to software constraints) and comms being interesting to a point, but we're mostly going over old ground in preperation for the exam on the 30th.

English has been interesting too at points. We had to read the homecoming over christmas, and i only got round to doing so on sunday but it is decidedly weird. and disturbing also, with much violence and sexual deviancy. theatre of the absurd is interesting but not particularly enjoyable...

And in rough connection to english is the series I have only just started reading, The Wheel of Time, which I was given the first book of for christmas. each book of the eleven in the series has roughly 700 pages, and I am on the third.. book two was pretty much read all weekend.

It hurts my brain that I just started reading a humungous, enthralling fantasy epic at the begining of an exam period. I have an exam tomorrow morning, and three others throughout the month.

This is the kind of thing leading scientists would class as "pretty gay".

I have a gig to look forward to though, with much alcohols, so woo. Nightmare of You Ef Tee Doubleyew!
