Ugh, my house is in such disarray. Well, need to clean that first (shouldn't take long), then, research for essays. I have one for Medieval on Middle English dialects that is coming up pretty quickly. Fortunately, many of the resources I need are electronic, so I can do it from home... or from the cafe. Hm, also need to finish reading The Englishman's Boy for CanLit.

It's gorgeous out today; +5C and sunny. I should get out a little bit. Homework (and housework) is important, but there are only really 3.5 more hours of sunlight left in the day... I should probably make use of that while I can.

Also, I've come to remember how much I love having foreign language radio as background noise. Used to do that with French-Canadian television and radio a lot, but sometimes found it distracting because I do understand a little bit of French. The past few days, I've been listening to stuff in languages I don't know at all, and it's good - I get my noise, but I don't get distracted by what's being said/sung. It's a lot better than the usual silence I have going on.

While I'm thinking on it - WHY THE FUCK does USask's library close at 6 PM on a Friday. That makes ABSOLUTELY no sense. They should have longer hours on weekends, not shorter hours! Sigh.

For some reason I hear something that sounds like fireworks outside. But it can't possibly be fireworks, as there's no reason for that. I don't understand, you guys. Anyway, while I didn't get as much accomplished as I had hoped to, I did get some things done. Just need to clean up the house a little bit more. Seems that's never-ending. Got some homework done too, but not as much as I had hoped.

I received a surprise postcard from Ari, as well as another letter from Minako. Eee, surprise mail makes me so, so happy. <3

Just stopping by to say huff huff Middle English.

and eee foreign language radio is fantastic. I can't use it as background noise, though, because I end up listening intently, trying to pick out words and figure out what's going on even if I know next to nothing about the language. (Estonian radio, I take it?)

Hufff Middle English indeed. I am so in love with it. And I'm sure if I actually had time to study Old English, I'd be in love with that, too.

Haa, in my case, it just sounds like gibberish to me, so background noise works fine. The only thing I can pick out is place names, sometimes. That's it.
Estonian radio, I take it?

As if it would be anything else. ;p

Oooh Old English is fascinating because it's so different and you don't realize it until you try to read it. I wonder if someone's constructed an English as it would have evolved from Old English without stealing half of French. That would be awesome. (I am a nerd.)

fff I can't pick anything out either, but I can't help trying anyway. And oh yuu.
