In my field of paper flowers...
Apr. 29th, 2004 04:52 pmHave realised Tears of Heaven needs far more work than I have time to do on it until after my exams. Am mournful because I know what I want to do, I just need TIME. It's so frustrating. So may have to work on some other fics between now and summer then spend some quality time on it. Damned exams! I know it needs some major editing too; and I hate editing. Damn. Why do I get Good Omens muses just before my exams?
I have decided the best way for me to learn The Aeneid would be to write fanfic on it though. Probably slash fanfic because there are many many beautiful-but-unexplored slash pairings in it. So I revise and work on my writing at the same time. A win-win situation. Am also *extremely* tempted to somehow write a Juvenal-Pliny-Horace-and-Petronius fic just because it'd be fun. And help me learn Roman Satire. I love classics. So many slash pairings, so little time....
Bought two new shirts for the job I'm starting Saturday; one pink (take note: I who NEVER wears pink bought a pink shirt. Horrors!) and one white. The white is a nicer design than the pink but has a VERY low front so I'll have to wear a sleeveless top underneath for work. I'm still in shock that I actually bought something pink. I just... I'm not a pink person. I'm a purple, or blue, or black person, but not pink. Well they say you should try something new every day...
*yawns* I need more sleep tonight. I got up far too early this morning but was still late for English. But I somehow managed to get 23/25 on my very rushed essay which made me feel warm and fuzzy. ^__^ It's nice to know I can at least write essays in ONE of my subjects.
I guess I should do some revision. *sigh* Exams. Hate them.
