Ooof. So glad that yesterday is over. And that the only homework I have on my plate is my OE translation exercise, due next Friday. I shall spend today working on it, and then studying the rest of OE. And possibly syntx for my Stylistics class.

But yeah, yesterday was kinda rough. It could have been worse, but I wasn't (which I'm extremely grateful for). Started off with me getting there at 7:45 AM, then meeting with my OE prof at 9 (after redoing my quiz and realizing that the majority of my mistakes where dumbass one brought on by being so stressed about it). He told me to keep studying and to do better on the next exercise.

Ran into nyxnymph after that, and told her about it. We then joked about how teacher's say "Try to do better next time", when it seems really obvious. Because, yeah. I love the feeling of failure so much I'm going to try to do it again. It gives me such a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

I went and picked up my employment information stuff from the department secretary (woo! Money!) and then emailed Sarah Amyot about being on the Academic Student's Association. I'm a rep, yo.

Went to Stylistics, where I did Syntax. I probably didn't have to go, but it ws a good refresher, which I needed. Then I went to the English Student's Association meeting, and it was interesting. I met other English student's (I guess I have to admit I'm one of them now) and got some interesting ideas that we could maybe implement in the Anthro club. Maybe. Decided that I wanted to start up a club for the Linguistics students. I need to look into this more.

Had Vietnamese for lunch (so good!) and read Semiotics for a few hours. Went to class. Handed in my paper. Had a good long discussion about tropes (metaphor, metonymy, synecdochey and irony. Goooo irony!) Learned that my next concordance isn't due next week, but in 3 weeks (same day as my Derrida presentation), so that's a relief.

Took the bus home. Or rather, took the bus to the mall, where mom picked me up. I left her waiting in the car when I saw zanzibar_mcbean and nyxnymph inside Chapter's. Ran in, talked to them for a bit. Had a bit of Daron's spiced pumpkin latte and shocked them both when I nearly spit it out. I'm just not a coffee person. graycastle, d_v_8 and mcee learned this in Ottawa when I tried someone's Iced Cap and pulled the biggest face ever. Ech.

There was a shocking moment when Daron mentioned that the West Wing premier was that night. I had no idea. And then I tried to remember what happened last year, and I couldn't. This makes me sad. I miss Aaron Sorkin.

Came home, watched Lost. Came upstairs, tried to chat with andrealyn and nellifer. Fell asleep, woke up when my head hit the desk, decided to go to sleep for real.

And that was my day.
