knowing that your essay is almost finished. Almost. And it was only due -20 hours ago (meaning I haveta get it handed in some time in the next 4 hours to avoid more penalties – but I’m only up to 2% so far, which I should make up in the fact that it won’t be a rushed piece of shit essay, but a thought out and well edited one).
It’s okay. Not my best effort ever (I hate handing things in late :S), but certainly not my worst. Infact, I handed in my worst effort ever earlier this semester, to the same tutor but for a different unit, and got 75%. Doesn’t really provide a huge incentive to try, when your marker is the Queen of Ease. I think I should get sympathy marks for battling Ulysses, personally. I wonder how many people were stupid enough to bother – especially when there was a plethora of cinematic and print material that wasn’t 900-odd pages of gibberish to choose from.
In other news, I think I’m going to the races on Saturday! Or at least, I’m going to Ascot. I don’t know whether there will actually be horsies – I’m not a racing person. But last time I went it was fun, and every horse I bet on managed to come last, and I got very drunk off cheap champagne ($13 a bottle or something – bargain!). It’ll be like a pre-Perth Cup warmup session, but without the hardcore drinking & summerness of it all. Wooot!
