Metamorphosis

To be honest, at first I barely even wanted to go to the Prefect's Disco - last year wasn't that great, and getting a costume seemed like so much effort!

Then I realised that I only had a week left to put together a costume, and given how full my to-do list was anyway, that inspired a bit of panic.

Then I discovered James was going as Ursula. Since that's going to be the most amazing costume ever, I figure it's worth going to the disco to see it. So at that point, I wanted to go, needed a costume, and was panicking more. Well no, not really panicking. More like acknowledging the fact that that could be a problem. I don't really panic in general...

But that's going off on a tangent (just like Jordan's punny personal statement).

So by now I actually have a costume! I'm going to be Jasmine from Aladdin!

Although, truth be told, my outfit doesn't look anything like that, it's just Arabic. Sort of.

Oh, and I need some sort of hairband thing, preferably elastic. And some blue eyeshadow. But I mostly have a costume now, so... yay?

PS - I'm bringing a magic carpet, not a bird.

Another One Of Those Copycat Posts

Since everyone's been writing about their exam timetables, I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon. Just to get the whining out of the way: I HATE THIS, NOW I CAN'T GO SEE GLEE ARGHHH!

Other than that, can't complain! No seriously, it's pretty good, if inhibiting, stretched out and containing too many exams (9 counting French speaking, which will be a week or two beforehand, but the number of exams is entirely my fault so I actually don't mind).

18th May: English Lit 1
23rd May: English Lit 2
1st June: Maths (C4)
8th June: Statistics
13th June: Maths (C3)
17th June: French (Written)
21st June: Physics 2
27th June: Physics 1

In other words, the closest ones are still 4 days apart, all my subjects are together unless you count the French oral, and English is out of the way first. WITH A BREAK AFTERWARDS! I never thought I'd be this lucky (apart from the Glee thing, which I'm now more bitter about because we've finished that Physics module so if I was sitting it in January WE WOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM).

I still don't know what I'm doing for the Prefect's Disco. In fact, I'm considering making fioding a costume one of my top priorities. It was at the bottom of my to-do list before, so that's quite a step up.

Um. That is all.

DILEMMA

As Claudbag already blogged, Glee is coming to DUBLIN!!! Actually, she found out through me, and I was super excited myself.

Then I discovered that I CAN'T GO.

The Dublin dates are the 2nd and 3rd of July. So I told mum Glee's coming - she was like great, that sounds fun. Then we realised that we're going on holiday. On the SECOND. So there is no chance of me going with everyone else, arghhhhhhh!

BUT THEN - this is why I love my parents - she asked if there were any England dates before that, maybe we could go over then. I happen to know that THERE ARE.

Of course, in all likelihood I'll have my Statistics exam that day. Another reason for me to hate the subject.

She meant that we could go over as a family to see it (which doesn't entirely make sense seeing as I'm the only one who really watches it, I mean Adam watched most of the second half of last season but mum and dad have only seen like one episode), but... is anyone else up for an after-exams trip?

That is, assuming Stats doesn't get in the way ;)

(I was going to do the Claudia bolding favourites thing as well, then I decided quite firmly against that. Bad Idea. I also feel the need to gloat that I know who the last 2 people on the list are!)

UPDATE: The London dates are the 25/26th of June. One of my Physics exams is the 27th of June. In other words, if I get going to the Glee tour at all I will be amazed more than I have ever been amazed before in my life.

Lanzarote &c

Dear world of bloggering, greetings. It's been a while. I think. It's been over a week. That's quite a while, right?

With regard to the title: &c = etc; I learnt that this week because reading is good, in fact in the past week I have read 4 books, which now that I think about it were all different genres, that's minorly impressive. (Shadow Wave - action; Pride and Prejudice - classic romance; Sleeping Arrangements - chick lit; Alexandria - historical comedy/murder mystery - just in case you were wondering)

I'm currently rather angryish. This probably has something to do with post-holiday blues (but probably not very much, I don't seem to be suffering from that much this time), something to do with things which we do not discuss (but other people do)(try and work that one out)(on second thought just don't)(no, it's not anything bad, don't be ridiculous)(well, it is bad, but not in any normal sense of the word)(ENOUGH), something to do with the urge to strangle, something to do with getting a lecture, and everything to do with the fact that I don't appreciate getting a massive English research project to do. Especially when relevant information for it is so (I love gummy bears) difficult to find! Arghhhhh.

On a brighter note, I can now say that I know for certain that I get my stalking skills from my mother (who was acting like an overexcited teenage girl earlier this week), I can make her jealous by saying that I was [technically] swimming with a footballer, I have seen an ex-gangster jump because of - of all things - a fake spider, I have become a dance teacher, and I have a new favourite singer! Oh, and my k-pop obsession is 95% dead. As in, there remain a few songs which I love and a few other loose ends, but apart from that, all that remains is a hint of nostalgia. But it lasted a year, that's a LONG obsession!

I need to go and do this infernal English project, why am I blogging? GOODBYE.

I want some chocolate

*some MORE chocolate

(wait no, it's almost dinnertime, don't be an idiot)
