HELLO MUM!

It has come to my attention that my blog has 'gone viral' (it really hasn't, I don't think 128 hits in a day counts) enough that my mother is now reading it. So hello Mum, I'll try to keep it clean.

I had a 9am seminar that I was really looking forward to today. I missed it. I woke up at 9:07am, despite having alarms going off from 7am. Ack. I am very annoyed.

The reason for my oversleeping is because I never did get all of my reading of The Old Curiosity Shop done yesterday. So rather than reading 112 pages today (because that is clearly unobtainable), I thought I'd stay up to read it. After being visited by some very lovely people from the flat downstairs I started my reading at about midnight. I thought it would be quicker to follow along using an audiobook from Librivox but I'm not sure whether it may have actually slowed the pace down. Anyway, so I followed on from chapter 47 to chapter 52 until 3am. I decided I was hungry, so I made an amazing cheese toastie and snacked on some chicken (Why?). I was delaying my bedtime until 4am, because I had read somewhere that your body is suited to four-hour cycles, so I didn't want to sleep for five hours then find it impossible to get up at 8am. It turns out that my body is better suited to five-hour cycles, seeing as I did not stir until 9am. Gah. I really am annoyed. Descartes is actually very interesting you know, and that's what we were discussing in today's seminar. Eash.

I have so much work to do today. I must get on.

Emily's To-Do List:

1. Read journal article for Philosophy workshop - Today 2pm
2. Read 56 pages of The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens
3. Read 19 pages of Waiting for the Barbarians by J. M. Coetzee
4. Do at least one hour of Philosophy revision - For test Fri 14th Dec
5. Begin Reading Texts essay - Thurs 13th Dec
6. Find someone who has notes for the seminars I have missed this week 

It doesn't really look all that bad when it's written down does it? I'll let you know how I get on with completing my tasks. No more 4am bedtimes.

(By the way, really do check out Librivox - all of the recordings are done by volunteers, in handy little chapter sections, for your downloading pleasure. Really a good idea for Literature students or anyone who fancies a bedtime story.)
