damn. i keep seeing babies and thinking that i want one. what is wrong with me??? (hey, don't worry, i don't plan on getting pregnant for another 10 years or so).
i finished essay number one, and now i need to seriously start on the other ones, because they are so damn long! but i've got all the material i need, so it's just really a question of putting things together and writing them down. boring though... hopefully i can finish the 5000 word one in the next week or so and then concentrate on the last one.
speaking of uni, my exam timetable SUCKS. so much. it goes as follows:
09/05 - the global refugee crisis (1 unit) - 2 questions, 2 hours - 50% of the final mark
10/05 - south east asian literature in translation (1 unit) - 4 questions, 3 hours - 80% of the final mark
13/05 - HIV/AIDS and development (1/2 unit) - 2 questions, 2 hours - 70% of the final mark
16/05 - issues in gender and development (1/2 unit) - 2 questions, 2 hours - 70% of the final mark
27/05 - state & society in asia & africa (1 unit) - 3 questions, 3 hours - 80% of the final mark
which leaves me more or less 20 days to prepare for four exams. thank god it's all of the easiest ones first, and then i've got a week to prepare for the last one. should be alright (but stressful).
i went to see jay yesterday, which was lovely. we didn't argue once, we just kissed and talked to each other and enjoyed each other, which is exactly what i wanted. my tactic of wearing make-up worked, lol, because he said i looked really pretty... so i actually felt pretty for the first time in ages... which is always nice. anyway, last night we went to play poker at tom's house. now, i can't play poker, so they had to teach me... i'm not sure i've got the right head to play poker, lol. i did pretty well actually, that is, until i gave my chips to jay because i couldn't be bothered to play anymore and he lost. damn. it was a lot of fun though, and by the end of it i literally couldn't stop giggling. after that we had a lovely night of sleep... there's nothing like sleeping in my boyfriend's arms.
i was supposed to meet greg for lunch today, but when i got up i found out that the bloody central line was closed, well half of it, so there was no way i was going to get there on time. so i texted greg, apologised and went back to sleep until 12 (lazy bum! lol). i love sleeping with jay, even in a single bed like we did last night... mmmh. it's so cozy and perfect. but yeah, anyway, so i had to take a replacement bus service from epping to woodford which took ONE HOUR (on the tube it would take around 15 minutes). so it took me about two hours to get home. great.
and now, a night chilling out in front of the telly, preparing psychologically cause tomorrow I'M STARTING THIS BLOODY ESSAY ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING. argh.
