1. I'm going on a date tonight! A proper pick-me-up-at-7-bring-flowers date! This is very exciting for me - I don't think I've been on one of those since, like, America. I know Gemma and I did have dates at the beginning of our relationship, but there were only really two, and those were is-she-interested-or-isn't-she not-quite-dates, so they don't really count. So, first proper date in a good five years! Yay! (Okay, so it probably not a proper date when it's with your girlfriend of over a year, with whom you are for all intents and purposes co-habiting, but that's very much Missing the Point)

1a. I should possibly actually buy those flowers at some point

1b. Oh god, what am I going to wear?

2. 600 words of Critical Theory report, oh yeah! Considering how much this report got to me, I'm quite pleased with the word count. Slightly less pleased that so far I've mostly discussed the linguistic side of the performative, rather the gender studies aspect I'm supposed to be discussing, but it's so much more accessible. So re-reading Butler is definitely necessary. But the important thing - I've started!

2a. One day I will learn that everything about critical theory becomes infinitely easier after talking it through with Becca. Hopefully next time I'll remember it before I have a complete freak-out about not understanding.

2b. Also, tutors are not the enemy. Particularly in critical theory, where my tutor is awesome and helpful and I really shouldn't be vaguely scared of him or tutors in general. No, really.

3. we do not speak of the dissertation.

3a. no, seriously. no speaking.

4. I got unreasonably excited in Medieval Literature today when I realized that Sir Gawain and the Green Knight could be read as a fairytale. And by unreasonably excited, I mean vaguely entertained.

5. What's new with you guys?

6. I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR, YOU GUYS!

Well, I work 10 hours which isn't much, but spread over three days, which with travel + uni + Gemma + friends doesn't leave a whole lot of time for me to just kind of...gather myself? I'm not really complaining, I'd just like my life to be a little more organised.

I believe in you, Sofie!

10 hours spread out over 3 days is a little... odd. Two days would make more sense, wouldn't it?

*grins* I'm glad someone is!
