The Life and Times of El

THIRTY-FUCKING-SEVEN DEGREES? IN MARCH?

TWICE IN ONE WEEK?

That's it, I'm leaving. And I'm taking the children.

No love at all,

El

Dear university timetable adjuster,

No, I don't care what you say, a tute and a lecture isn't a clash. I obviously go to the tute. Lectures do not matter on the grand scale, they can be read online. A tute and a tute is a clash, and I've got one already. This would not be happening if you'd accept that a tute and a lecture clash do not matter because the tute takes precedence.

In short: DIAF PLZ KTHNXBAI.

 You know, I want to write stuff now. I'd love to write stuff now. But I can't.

Because of these

GOD.

DAMN.

SODDING.

HICCUPS.

That is all.

Edit: They're gooooooooooooooone! Thanks, pankaks, it might have worked after all. :D

Hotmail is being all wibbly and not posting replies, so I'm sorry if I unintentionally ignored anyone.

Stupid hotmail. One last chance, and then I'm using gmail for everything.

Ech, I have never been more grateful for the mid-semester break than about... now. (Although as my geoscience classmates pointed out, it's not mid-semester, more like let's-see-how-long-we-can-go-before-no-one-turns-up-to-classes week.) I had four major assignments due in this week, and I did them all, but it was a close call.

The downside is that it's turned my brain into cheese. I left my jacket at the bookshop for two hours today. I hope it enjoyed the break.

And I lost my scarf.

My beautiful Geelong scarf.

And I lost it on the day my team plays another team in the semi-finals.

As the topic says: this had better not be an omen.

But I really, really miss that scarf. I've had it since I was about ten. Granted, I didn't think about it for about five years (we did move to Brisbane for a while, not much call for it) but it's been there for me. I loved it when wool scarves made me itch. One of the tassles still has a plait in it when I got bored during a game. Mischief used to love the tassles. I wore it for most of winter in year 11 and 12, and fondly remember how the (new) principal told me off for wearing it. Pah. It was two thirds school colours.

And now it's gone.

I have a fairly good idea of where it is, and I'll try looking for it after the break, but I'm not optimistic. I hope it ends up being useful to someone, and possibly getting the Cats some more converts. At least it's getting into summer, so I wouldn't have needed it for much longer anyway.

But still.

Goodnight, sweet scarf. Mischief and I will remember you fondly.







EDIT: Apparently Geelong is winning! This makes the loss somewhat easier to bear.




This post was brought to you by the committee for doing random stuff on friday nights, El division.

There are many times when I write lj entries and wish that I'd written about something in an earlier entry, because it's been going on for a while. And what's been going on for a while is that my jaw has been aching. For about three weeks straight. It's only on the left side, and it's a sort of bone/ligament ache, and it hurts when I eat large bits of food. Hence my not eating apples for at least a month.

So I finally went to the doctor today, and it's most likely that I've slightly dislocated it while eating. I have exercises to do, but the actual ligament will take a lot longer to heal, so I'm stuck with an achey-breaky jaw. Woe.

And the worst thing is that I shouldn't eat soft foods, which I can understand, but she said I also shouldn't laugh too much. *sniffle* I am very sad, especially since I've been reading metaquotes all week. I guess I can't do anything except just live with it.

[I'll do a happy post this weekend, really, I promise.]

Why? Why the hell does the rest of Australia have a public holiday today, but not Monash?

(Oh, I'm whinging, I know. I only have Wholefoods work to go to anyway, but it's the principle of the thing.)
