Thirty Two: This one's in English.

Hi. So I’m annoyed, mainly because I can’t do the topic I wanted to do for English Language, and instead must inform/persuade/advise/argue on the topic which we chose for our first piece of coursework. Now, let me make this clear: I have spent the last two months of my life reading every piece of information about language and gender and under no circumstances do I want to spend the next two months doing the same thing. No. I have two different teachers (Have I mentioned that Leona has a wardrobe of the same coats/giant poncho things?) which makes things more complicated and Leona told us we could write on any topic we wanted. Within reason!

Anyway, moaning about English over with. The other day at college I was watching a free episode of Outnumbered as part of the iTunes 12 days of Christmas thing, and I noticed that they have the same height chart I used to have. I knew my dad didn’t put it in the attic!


I went to see Avatar on Sunday in 3D. I was tempted to take my English Lit books and try and finish my coursework when the adverts were on at the beginning, but we left too late and the queues were ridiculous. As for the film, watching it in 3D was...weird. It took a while to adjust to wearing the glasses, because wearing them without my normal glasses meant I couldn’t really see anything, and I jumped quite a few times. It was a bit long, which is my only criticism of it, but it was really good :)


I haven’t read any more books recently. I’ve started on The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold. Speaking of Alice Sebold, they’ve made a film of The Lovely Bones and it’s coming out here in...eight days, I think. I might go and see it, as the book was okay and I need to get out of the house.


I’m sat in the LRC right now and I have nothing to do, because all my work’s at home and despite bringing in what feels like a mini library of books, there is nothing helpful in them, so I’m listening to Michael McIntyre talking about man drawers and people who spill red wine and then put white wine on it and all manner of things. I have tutor after this, and then I get to go home because my double last has been cancelled :) I’m going to see my mum’s friend Helen because she’s just had a baby girl, who’s called Emily Rose, which is a nice, sensible name, not like Madonna or Gwyneth Paltrow & Chris Martin or Brangelina, who have all given their kids stupid names.


Anyway, I should get back to doing...nothing. I really hate when it’s pointless me being here.


B xxx :)


P.S. “This is the British way- you think prick, you say tut...because I suppose it was three o’clock in the morning, because I was a little hungover, because of the flicking, I sort of panicked and for some reason I thought tut, and said prick.”


EDIT EDIT MAJOR EDIT: email from my English Language teacher saying that it's not compulsory that we do the same subject as we did for coursework 1. YAY. Leona wears things like this only they're twice as big. Her wardrobe must like be the one that leads to Narnia.
 
I went to see my mum's friend Helen and her baby is tiny. She's a week and a half old. I got to hold her, which was oddly comfortable, and although I was sitting down I was scared I was going to drop her! She was opened her eyes, yawned and wriggled around for a bit. She held my finger for a little bit, though I think she was more fascinated by my fingernail than anything else.
 
That height chart from Outnumbered:

And now it won't let me type from left to right and I have to type in the centre instead.

Okay, Byebyebyebyebye...
