Oh look, a test.

Test

Literature. One of my last tests for the semester. I suspect that there’s one or two waiting on the other side of the week to ambush me, but for now, this is the last confirmed test of the semester. It is slightly frightening to think about it. I think I’ve said half a dozen times that it’s been a while since I last did any literature, so the prospect of it is actually far more intimidating than it ought to be.

No pressure, I keep saying to myself. If you think too much about it, you’ll just goof up. Which is perfectly logical, but you don’t always buy into the logical things. As with so much else in life.

After this, I am supposed to turn my attention to a project, and after that a couple of other odds and ends. It’s the tail end of the semester. Sure arrived a lot faster than any of us had expected. And I know we say that at the end of every semester, but it’s only because it’s true.

Poverty

Having spent slightly too much of late, I will have to restrict my spending for at least the next couple of weeks. There were  a couple of books that I wanted to get but thank goodness I don’t have all the space in the world and the cabinet where I store my queue of unread books is kind of full.

Documentary

Oh this looks nice. [via Amazon] I suppose Life is a bit of an obvious title, but it still sounds great. Planet Earth was disappointing in parts, somehow, so I hope this lives up to its billing. That said, I did just mention that I was out of cash, so I better put this out of my sight for now.

Two

I’ve drafted the first part of my current project. It means that I’m supposed to move onto the second part, except that I’m not entirely sure what to do, so I’m still figuring things out in my head. The first part is looking a little strange, very rough, but overall fairly interesting. I’m just not convinced that it’s interesting in any good way, but we’ll decide as we get on with things.

Right, onto the test. Fingers crossed. Godspeed, and all that. Wish me luck, because lit nerds are just lit nerds — nothing suggests that a lit nerd should do okay in a test.
