Unfortunately, the assembled hoards of Genghis Khan could get through my door if they were still around to try it. I really should get meself a nice, secure TARDIS.

Oh, yeah, guess where the title came from?...now that I've gone and given it away.

Well, I am taking a break from me own stressful studyings of Introductory Biology. I had a paper due last Monday, and a math exam yesterday, so I'm going through the rigours of the first round. My first paper wasn't anything to be praised (not bad, just...dry and lacking in pep and vigour), but it was that way last semester, and my writing abilities picked up after the first time, so I'm not much worried about it being this way all semester.

I don't care what spell-check says. I shall spell "rigour" and "vigour" with the u.

It's the biology exam that I have to look forward to, which means I have to purchase scantrons sometime Monday evening. Blast and bother. I hate going into the Union bookstore, because when I do I have to plan on not carrying a backpack or bag of substance thanks to their stupid "leave your bag at the door" policy which I consider to be ridden with naivety and idiocy. I am not going to leave my bag, with $100+ textbooks and sometimes my laptop--not to mention worthless notebooks and things which I can't afford to lose even though their dollar value isn't great--in a heap with everyone else's stuff and expect to find it when I get back. I think if they are going to require you to leave your stuff at the door, they should provide you with a decent, secure checking system.

Anyway, pet rant aside, I have a trip to the U-bookstore to look forward to, a day of regular classes, and then a common exam at 5:30 in the evening. Seriously, whoever decided that every biology exam was going to be on a Monday evening either didn't care about us poor students, or had malicious intent in the scheduling of said exams. Not quite sure how that schedule is going to work out tomorrow, but I guess it will somehow.

I did not study as much as I would have liked to today, however, because it was a convenient (more or less) day to do birthday present exchanges (clothes that didn't fit) and buy new shoes (my old ones are ratty and although there are no apparent holes, walking around in the slush provided a comfortable film of cold water on the bottom of my feet. Hum.). Which means I got to do my two most favorite activities in the whole wide world...

Clothes and shoe shopping! WOO-HOOO!

...bit o' sarcasm there for you, in case you didn't realize.

So I was going to go into the shopping trip in great detail, listing all the trials and woes, the aching feet, the tortuous colors and styles, the yakety-yaketing salesmen--

but I am super tired, and I have more studying, so I'll spare y'all. Some other time, some other shopping trip...may it never happen...

G'night.

   Haha, come to mention it, I do recall that line about Genghis Khan.
   
   One of my favourite quotes (note the "u") is "Lots of planets have North."

   Woo for British spelling. Colour and sabre and theatre and kerb and tyre all the way. :o)
   
   You have a laptop? Wow, didn't know that! O_o
   
   Enjoy your exam.... *grin* Hope it goes well. Monday night is a pretty awful time to schedule an exam, I agree.
