I wanted freedom, bound and restricted, I tried to give you up, but I'm addicted

Claire vs. knife.
The bandaid on my finger has made it all fat and it keeps hitting the wrong key. Lots of spelling fixing going on in the background.

None of that sort of drama in academia, I'm afraid.
No drama at all, in fact in the last couple of days there's been no work either. I am so slack and my 3.778 GPA will be tumbling south to that of lesser mortals unless I give myself a stern talking to and cut down on the internerds and naps and dvds and general fannying about I seem to be filling my days with. Right now I should be finishing the reading on the Russian army and starting the reading on the Chinese army and then reading my IPE book and coming up with questions to ask in class and researching my paper on Indonesia and preparing my paper for the review thats due tomorrow and also there is a couple of emails I should really write and my room is a little messy and I still haven't transferred all my music from media player to itunes cos i'm a retard and my socks have a hole in them so I could be darning them but no. I'm blogging and singing along to Everything But The Girl and now Interpol. Also my cup of tea has gone cold. Urgh.
One thing I have discovered in my rather limited travels around the world is the immense difficulty of finding a decent cup of tea outside the Commonwealth.
