I contemplated venting on Tumblr a bit, but those poor people deserve it even less than you. So deal with it.
Right now I'm fighting my urge to correct someone's English. "Concurred" instead of what I believe should have been "conquered". I really, really want to go and comment on that. But it's just so, what's the word - pernickety. Besides, I really like this guy and I don't want to ruin my image any more than I have already. Yes, I believe you know who we're talking about here. Shut up, ok?
Anyway, I need to fight this urge to correct people - it's been happening a lot lately, I think it's because I'm cranky.
The stupid cough is just getting worse, and I really don't want to waste my time with doctors, they never help anyway, but it's getting difficult and tomorrow I have a lecture and how do you suppose I can keep a low profile if I keep trying to keep my lungs in and cough them out at the same time? Cough syrups are a placebo, I know - so are most pills. But we all know placebos don't work quite as well if you are aware that they are placebos.
Also, seems like I'll be the ghost in this house - almost nobody sees me all day long except for short bits in the kitchen or on the stairs. And they can all hear me coughing, I'm sure.
But I bought a bathroom rug today because a)it was cheap b)I don't quite appreciate the feeling of cold and slippery tiles under my feet when I get out of a shower. So - if anyone picks up on that, they'll know I'm still here.
So, apart from feeling like shit tomorrow is my first day of school this year - finally. It feels like years have passed since I last went to a lecture, let alone a seminar. No seminars this week yet - they haven't been allocated time and place yet. I'm sure it'll screw with my schedule in new and wonderful ways.
Talking schedule - did I mention the Tunisia thing? I'm sure I did. I haven't been to the office yet - was about to go today, but then I woke up too late and only had time to go to one place that closes at 4, so I picked the bank. I still have tomorrow. Dunno how I'll do tomorrow though - I've got to see the doctor, go to a lecture, visit the student office, go to Argos, then to IKEA and then Orinta has birthday and I got her a present but I think it sucks and I don't have either time or ideas for anything else, so she'll have to deal with it. I'll get her a nice card. Maybe. If I have time. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it or whatever that saying is.
Anyway - I have a difficult choice. I like to visit Hema and I'd like to do it more often, but every time I'm there I end up eating something spicy. Which is not good for me - my tummy wasn't made for that sort of stuff and while it still deals with it without problems I'm afraid one day it won't. So, I should lower my curry/chili intake. But that would mean I need to visit Hema less frequently - because visiting there always means I'll be eating things. And they don't cook meat either, so I don't even have a reason to decline the offer. Ahh, what shall I do?
Deal with tummy problems when they show up, that's what. Hema wins.
That will be all for tonight - I should get up before 9 so I can maybe squeeze in a moment for a coffee and sandwich before school. I hear prices in the uni's Costa got up, and they were already unreasonable to begin with. Higher than anywhere else I've seen - even on Piccadilly where they blow up the prices for tourists. MDX must be a very special place.
P.S. I find I use too much continuous tenses. Or is that many? My own English seems to be slowly degrading. What a pity.
Well, maybe I shall move on to French soon.

oh, the autumn blues.. i think they come hand in hand, you can't have one with out at least a bit of other.
on the up side, i got a hair cut today [guess it's more up side to me that to you, but i had to tell someone before my hair gets messed up :)]. ema won't like it, but i do- i have bangs again and a proper autumn brown shade. me and sergey made fun that i don't have to go to sigulda now, cause i have it in my hair.
p.s. riga balsam [or jagermeister in your case, doubt there's riga balsam in london] always helps. try that instead of doctor :)
I never have autumn blues, only the summer ones. I am special ^^
Ya, Maija, you just made me forget what I wanted to say to Chai because of your comment about cutting your hair... Urgh, at least the colour is right XD
Anyway, so you [Chai] really did take up French?
And how about cooking some cake/whatever and giving it to Hema as a present ensuring that at least one thing on the table will be without chilli?
Miss you, but you already know that, right?
I only have existencial blues, so luckily we're all different :)
Special, if you will ;)
Maija, I want pictures. ASAP.
I haven't yet taken up French, but it seems I'd have a shitload of little helpers - in addition to the ones I already know, yesterday night met a French guy who happens to study in MDX.
I miss you both too, but you didn't hear it from me and I didn't say it.
