clo_againWhen you've had a loooooong day? Play on Photoshop. Only now none of my journal colours quite match and I'm too tired to fiddle with them. Eh. Tomorrow.
When I say long day, I don't mean *bad*. Just one of those days that goes on and on and never seems to end. I got a great mark on the poetry test I did before Christmas though. :D I think I'm doomed to forever be that one mark off the highest level but considering the amount of work I put in, I'm glad to be anywhere *near* it. Essay back tomorrow and that's not really something I'd like to think about, so I'm not. My brain feels filled with fuzz so not-thinking isn't really all that hard. Possibly that's a bad thing since I'm supposed to have sent 1000-word-long creative writing piece in as of two hours ago but I think I'll have food and coffee and do the washing up I've been neglecting all day and see if I wake up enough to motivate myself.
Have to sign up for our rooms next year on Thursday. The freshers seem to have this idea that they want to stay in the flat or at least on the top floor but the Dragon who runs our college only lets four second/third years stay per flat... and there's already three of us second years planning to stay, plus a possible fourth if we can talk the Cypriots who don't speak to us into going away to ignore another lot of flatmates instead. Hence why we're planning to be there, outside the office, the second that she lets people start signing up. I like my room. I fought for it last year. Someone else can fight this year and if the freshers like it that much then they can move back in their third year when we're gone. Only fair.
The Post-it note idea? Is going to work if I remember to take it off when I don't mind being distracted. A just apologised when she came to see me and I had to reassure her several times that no, I wasn't busy, I'd just forgotten the Post-it. Ooops. At least she noticed it. Score!
Total zombie mode right now. Mmmm, sleep. I'd love a nap, but no. Food. Work. Dammit.
edit: Oh I just read the email from the Dragon and got a sudden sinking feeling. Our rooms are fine because we get to sign up a day before the freshers... but K in Australia? She has to wait until the Monday after and that's not good because without her, the freshers'll take the two other rooms. And K said specifically -- begged more like -- to stay with us. Ooooohhh. Oh this could be not fun, because we'll have to talk the freshers into not stealing her room. UNLESS I can sign K up same time as me, maybe pay her residence deposit if she can't get the money over here in time... I'm so glad we've already arranged to go see the Dragon tomorrow. My room *should* be okay but looks like I'll be fighting for K's.
Trust the Dragon to screw this up. In what way is it fair to make the overseas students get last pick of their rooms? What, she thinks they won't have any friends left to want to share with after being away for a year? Crikey.
