~ but there's a chance that you are wrong, and i am right this time ~

My parentals are crazy.

Me: Well I was thinking I might go too, if that's cool.
Mum: Well, we're cool, but are you?
Me: ...What?
Mum: Well we're cool, but you have to be cool if you want to be in the cool gang.
Me: There is so much wrong with that.
Mum: Well, if you're not cool, you can't be in the cool gang. What's wrong with that?
Me: Nobody says gang anymore.
Mum: Well the cool gang does. Don't we Robin?
Dad: Well no, after that we became the cool posse.
Mum: What?!
Dad: Well that was before we became the Carrick Massif.
Mum: You never told me that!
Dad: Well I'm telling you now!!

~ even though you are royalty and i am not ~

I only had one hour of class today, but I spent the majority of my day in Belfast anyway. I also bumped into a number of different people, which made the day that bit better.

I met Stephen after my Irish Lit. lecture and asked him if he'd submitted his radio play yet - he said no. Hopefully he won't be in too much bother though, since he's been pretty consistent with his submissions up until now. Irish Lit. was basically about Seamus' Heaney's fixation with bog bodies. Glamarama. Turns out he wrote a LOT of poems about bog people.

I ended up going shopping in town. This is largely due to the fact that after taking care to bring all my notes, textbooks and guidelines into uni with the intention of starting my Language assignment, I forgot to bring the advertisement I was planning to write about. I'm pretty sure that constitutes an epic fail

~ and I just know that we could work it out ~

MAYDAY. That means Monday off. That means I didn't have to go to my Language and Power classes today. THAT means I didn't get bored to death by my tutor.

Instead, with nothing better to do, I sauntered on into Bangor with my parents. I got a really cute dress in Tempest (which is, by the way, the only shop in Bangor that is not piss), but I was also forced to stand outside B&M Bargains AND Pound World holding shopping bags. It was a bit of give and take today, I suppose.

I have a lot of work to do this week, though, now that my day off is over. Tomorrow I'm heading into class at 8.30am. I don't have class until 12, but I'll get a pile of work done if I go in early. I'm planning to get my Language and Power assignment finished this week, then get one of my Irish Literature essays done next week. That means that during revision week, I only have two essays to write: my second Irish Literature assignment and my Creative Writing final submission. I'm not sure which one I'll do last... To be honest, the Irish Lit. questions are scaring me.

Maybe inspiration will strike when I least expect it.

~sighing in exasperation, "no." you say again, "this simply is not love"~

So, I've played the start of FFXIII. My first impressions can be found at my livejournal (OMG EL JAY) here. Probably going to do another entry at the halfway point, and again at the end. You can barely contain your excitement!
