Work needs doing

[liaku]

I need to write these application essays sometime soon.  Like, really soon.

Also, I believe I'll be holed up reading all through the weekend.  I'm some 200 pages behind in politics, and I honestly have very little clue what's going on in calculus.  The former is something I want to fix, the latter will probably be a perpetual problem in that class.  In either case, I still need to crunch some numbers.  I'm also behind in history (not worried about that) and biology (but only because I slept through class today).  I am up to speed in Hungarian, but embarrassingly clumsy with some of the cases.  "Tessék?" now features very heavily in my conversations.

And no, I'm not taking German, but I've committed myself to reading all of Coraline in German in the meanwhile, probably at a very slow pace of something like one page a night.  Maybe slower.  So far, I've gotten past the dedication, the opening quote thingy, and two paragraphs into chapter 1.  ...Yeah, I suck.  I know.  But I'm trying.

Glad to hear that! When I wrote that sentence I thought something like 'maybe that's weird for her since she's ten years younger than me and not scared and me old chick would be freaked out by that book, even after reading only a summary of it'. I think that other book really really freaked me out on Wedneday and I felt like not wanting it in my flat anymore, so I came close to just opening the window and throwing it out into the grass (I live on the ground floor of our apartment block). When I watch stuff online these days, I keep returning to the 'Famous Five' series on youtube. I think at the moment I just have a problem (again) with reading/watching people doing stuff to other people. That's maybe also why I enjoy 'Rudolf' quite a bit because it's basically him and to a certain extent Mary who are deciding about things because of circumstances and it's not like the other people around them are pulling the trigger of the gun. In addition, I adore the music for its emotional quality. And now I'm off... have a nice day (?).
