With the first week safely fading in the distance, I can now collect my thoughts.
...Oh, who am I kidding, if I could "collect" my thoughts in such a structurally implied fashion, I'd be far more busy wielding sheer genius and brilliance in other faculties, never mind bothering to entertain you lot with boring narratives of my life.
......er..where was I?
Oh right - so I like my classes. I haven't any complaints about any of them. Two of them have no tests or exams - which makes this forgetful, scatter brain, can't-remember-what-i-just-read-1-minute ago, very happy! On the down side, the majority of my courses are seminar-like. I actually have to "get involved" with discussions and talk. My only comfort is incoherent tenured professors, who like their hair, stand out. If they can do it, so can I.
I plan to get on those research papers ASAP.

So, I went home for the weekend. My weekend starts on Thursday morning and ends on Tuesday morning, how about yours? ha-ha. HA HA HA HA HA!! ...Karma is going to kick my ass for that. But karma seems to kick my ass every five minutes, so its lost its effect on me. ....so...haha!
Anyway, nice to be home for the weekend. My dogs were thrilled to see me. I miss them so much, especially my fat black lab. I've been making some good headway on my novel outlines while I've been back. And er, been drinking more tea than should be humanly possible...my parent's are at work right now and I'm home alone, in the country...not that I haven't been before and I'm not worried or anything - but my Saint Bernard went to sit near the doors and he keeps looking suspiciously around. I don't know if he's doing it just because he's acting all protective or what...but...oh well.
I thought I had more interesting things to say for this blog but apparently I don't.
Oh, wait, this is kind of interesting. I had a discussion with my pal Nibs about dreams, and apparently I have lucid dreams. Sometimes I even have control over myself in them, and more often than not, I can end a dream at will - sometimes I have even re-entered the same dream on will another time.
Apparently you can work to make your dreams completely lucid and whatnot and I think I want to! I mean, being that they are partially lucid anyway. Because it's giving me brilliantly original and creative (albeit freaky and mad) ideas that I'm putting towards my novel-in-progress. I'd love to start putting the scenes into the dream and letting it unspiral in this unrestricted environment (believe you me, if you saw one of my dreams you'd be dumbstruck by the insanity I can come up with - not freaky sick stuff you bastard - just really...like...original, weird, off the wall, could be induced by acid, stuff). Some parts of my novel have already been influenced by what my mind has created in sleep. A villian in particular stands out. Man, how I came up with him...we'll never know.
Right then, until next time!
I head back on Monday morning on the train - ASA meeting on Monday afternoon. And it better be nice and cold out. I REALLY enjoyed the chilled dark overcast with rain the past few days. I'm so disappointed it's gone.
And yet nobody understands why I prefer it over a sunny day. hm.
