Dancing penguins!

You only wish you were as cute as this. No, seriously.

Also, my family is really, really strange.

peter & I, we had the giggles

You know what makes me feel warm and fuzzy about my choice of university? The fact that they have Virigina Woolf on the frontpage of the English department. Also that about 50% of their elective courses seem to be about either gender (WRITE ABOUT WOMEN AND LITERATURE OH PLEASE!) or sexuality (OR GAY PEOPLE AND LITERATURE. THAT'S COOL TOO!). It makes me happy inside (and makes me feel surer in my choice). And while I'm on the subject of universities, I've decided against following placements and going with Lancaster for my second choice. I think Lancaster would possibly be my first choice, if it weren't a) in Lancaster (which is teeny, tiny) and b) apparently lacking a history department. Hm.

trobany__ meme-tagged me, and as it is impolite not to do what you're tagged to do:

( Username meme! )

Today was a total waste. Well, not completely true: I read the introduction to my version (Wordsworth Edition; 1997) of Seven Pillars of Wisdom, which was awesome and had this rather interesting comment about TE Lawrence and sexuality:
( On institutionalised homoeroticism )

It's not so much that this is new and exciting, but it is amusing and interesting, both from the point of view of someone interested in English literature and as someone interested in queer theory. So I thought I'd share.

Apart from that, today has been spent looking at university websites, which has been entertaining and informative and has left me bouncing to go to unversity right *now*, but sadly distracted me from what I was supposed to be doing, namely writing my Danish essay. Hi, I'm an idiot. Particularly since this essay *has* to be good, otherwise I lose my grade and that would suck. Particularly from a Whoo!University point of veiw. Oh woe. So plan for tomorrow is to write kickass essay on the city.

Hopefully. If Holmes and Lawrence don't distract me too much.
