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?)

I can't have people talking in another language as background noise, I get distracted and try to figure out their language to some extent (this is always met with disappointing results, obviously). Don't have that problem with foreign music, though.

eajtpaoetjpajet don't even get me started on the whole library hours thing. Libraries here are open from only 12-5 from Friday to Sunday, and in the summer they aren't open at all on Sundays :| :| :| and then since they're only open for a bit, the place always ends up crowded as hell.
