But I don't hate the sonnets AND it is worth saying that when I have to really get down to it and study one poem deeply, I end up proper loving that poem.<br /><br />WINE! I can only really tell the difference between wine I like and wine I don't, which is fine with me (and has nothing to do with price as far as I can tell) Shit, it's like 9.30am and I want some wine now... Alcoholism awaits! (not really. I'm just really tired hahahaha)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-13985199150644851702014-11-19T01:52:23.678+00:002014-11-19T01:52:23.678+00:00Oh man, I SOOO do not have the soul for poetry. I ...Oh man, I SOOO do not have the soul for poetry. I hear people talking about reading books of poetry and I WANT to be the type of person that can do that, but no. <br /><br />I am behind not wanting to write an essay on the sonnets. Or any single sonnet. Though I did have to write one on sonnet 116, which might be part of the reason I like it so much. Or I picked it to write about cos i liked it. Cause and effect is sort of lost at this point.<br /><br />ANYWAY, I support coasting through the sonnets. I'm just happy the reaction isn't "sonnets I HATE YOUR FACE SO MUCH"<br /><br />And yay wine. Especially cheap wine. I can't tell the difference between good and bad wine. Which is nice. I'd like to stay there cos it's hard to disappoint me with wine.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456600806188531803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-12331644835932691052014-11-19T00:17:23.323+00:002014-11-19T00:17:23.323+00:00Soon many jerks.

WINE! It was...Soon many jerks. I hate everything. <br /><br />WINE! It was pretty cheap and pretty good. I am only a recent adopter of wine, but I am soooooo into it right now.<br /><br />OK, when I say the sonnets are bullshit, what I really mean is, I don't have a beautiful enough soul to really get poetry, and I'm definitely never going to write an essay on the sonnets and I feel like it's kind of ok to coast through those weeks? Or at least it is in my brain and I'm going with that because I still don't care about the sonnets! (Except the one you had at your wedding... Which was obviously awesome and I definitely remember which one that was... Ummmm... Yes. I did actually read it though! It was nice.)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-48358300413659757032014-11-19T00:14:32.171+00:002014-11-19T00:14:32.171+00:00Awwww, Ellie.

I have kind of perked up this week though, but by perked up I kind of mean, I have had to kid myself into thinking I'm awake so that I can get this goddamn essay written and not stab myself in the face with a pen just to get out of it... I think I'm taking to this academia thing really well!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-51044864503661701172014-11-19T00:12:57.315+00:002014-11-19T00:12:57.315+00:00Less than two more weeks...

Really, in a week and a day I will have given the two presentations I have to give and my suffering will be over, so that's not long! (also I have to write another essay in those 8 days. FML.)<br /><br />You are nauuuuughty, but I won't tell anyone! I hope no one caught you at the gym if you went. If I had advised you, I would have advised against it, but I am a total wimp hahahaLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-11736346636757520362014-11-19T00:11:04.936+00:002014-11-19T00:11:04.936+00:00Ah, Christmas.

It alarms me because I was always like 'how are there people in the world who don't like Christmas?!' but now I'm kind of like, oh yeah. Meh. BUT you totally have a baby who will be transfixed, I am sure, and we have a new family baby so that'll be fun!

I don't want to get a job any more, I don't really want to do much except stare out the window at the trees, tbh. Maybe in spring? Yes? When everything feels POTENTIAL instead of just cold? Yes, good.

Just two more weeks, just two more weeks...<br /><br />It's Monday and I am currently playing hooky from work, because this weekend wasn't that great and I kind of just wanted a day to relax and catch up on things and because I'm ridiculous. And now I'm debating the wiseness of going to the gym, on the one-in-a-million chance that someone at work just happens to be there also and sees that I am NOT, in fact, sick.

I'm missing the sunshine and the option to go out on lots of walks with the baby too. Hopefully the Christmas magic will arrive soon and make winter worthwhile :)Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.com
