I'm pretty sure that's a line from a thing.
Helloo, much neglected and often missed (although you might not guess it from trying to follow my sporadic updates) journal!
I have come with news and things. Tales of adventure and so on. There is much to say, and as ever, I have chosen a time when I have no time to say it in to begin the telling.
So. It is a dark, windy night in October of 2011. Semester Two. My last semester at uni. If all goes to plan, and after seven years at my esteemed institution, I should bloody well hope it does. Last Friday, I handed in what is hopefully the last essay I will ever write for a while
1. It was 7000 words long, 8500 when you include the footnotes (which for once were the anecdotal kind of footnotes, not only the boring reference kind), nearly ten thousand when you include the appendices of translated Ancient Egyptian terms that I compiled myself. Yes: my procrastination for this essay was to transliterate and translate hieroglyphs. BEST PROCRASTINATION EVER. Oh yes, the title:
Conceptions of Time in Ancient Egypt. As you may have guessed, I had far too much fun writing it, and now that it is gone I miss it.
On the 4th of November, I will hand in my last ever Folio. It is going well, I think - I have been given the all-clear to stop designing and so have started on the final presentation. Unfortunately my ideas are pretty ambitious, so it may yet be another nightmare run. Hopefully my illustrious plans will result in something spectacular, rather than just roling around on the floor, bleeding and clutching the foot that I brazenly shot.
And Lo! Meghan has things to talk about
outside of uni!
Gavin & I became Perth Wildcats Season Members, so we are going to every home game this season. It's so much fun. Also good: the Wildcats are the reigning premiers, and have won every game so far this season. Yeeah!
Yesterday, Jack became the best brother ever when he gave me my belated birthday present - a Kindle Keyboard 3G. He visited my house and gave it to me on Monday! A thoughtful and wonderful gift that caught me completely by surprise. I had been wanting a Kindle for ages but couldn't really afford/justify buying one, and now I don't have to! JOY!
All that said, I really must return to being boring and doing folio. Hope you are all well, LJ chums - I do still read, I just seldom comment (or update... but I predict that will change in the lead up to Folio, at least.)
