Homesickness, December funsies

Dear Diary,

This might be too soon, but I want to make sweet, sloppy love to you.

Love Tori xx

But in all seriousness let's address the things running through my mind.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

So I've got until January 15th before I finish classes properly, two weeks afterwards in Paris until the rent finishes up and then after being kicked out, I'm going to Rome, Pompeii, Germany and England. I think.

I've yet to book anything. It's hard to make decisions about where to go!!
I need to ring Mummikins to ask her advice: a queen of travelling.

I was feeling a bit blue today. I will blame it on this crappy, crappy weather we have been having. Oh why did I ever complain about it being too hot?

I slept two hours on Tuesday night and hence went to bed at 6pm yesterday afternoon, a Wednesday. Was went to go to a "Seven Deadly Sins ou Les Sept Peches Capitaux" party but slept through it waking at half-past Midnight. Asleep again at nearly 6am and then up at 11am.

I spent the morning doing nothing except for quickly learning the Passe Simple (a written past tense that doesn't exist in English).

Went to Linguistics class and fell into a sullen and disinterested mood.
This could be due to:

  • Not seeing friends enough 
  • Hormones
  • Rickety sleep patterns
  • No exercise
  • Unhealthy eating
  • Cabin Fever, brought on by not enough hours (or any) of sunlight
  • homesickness

While looking at a passage of Candide by Voltaire:
It was pretty funny when Prof. Brunner said that the classement of the lexical aspect of the verb "to have burned down a village" depended on whether you thought that it was an activity, an accomplishment or a finishing off of something.

When she further explained that it depended on whether you were considering how long it took to burn down a village the class roared with laughter.

I love linguistics.

Anyway the parentals are arriving in 10 days! Hurray for a home-cooked meal!
