english lit
i'm actually beginning not to mind the english lit course so much. we're such a small group that we're getting to know each other and i'm meeting new people :-) cool. i'm meeting lots of new people this term :-) i think the 6 months working in england have made me slightly less shy. hurray!
i'm glad it's in english, i'm not so confident expressing myself in german. never was, but now it's even worse than usual, not having spoken german for 6 months... and being the only native english speaker on the course (the lecturer is swiss) also gives me confidence. although i hate trying to pronounce all the greek names, we're doing the odyssee... i know, it's technically not english literature ;-) but we're looking at the 'morphology of the folktale' and the odyssee's pretty much the oldest example of a western folktale. next week we move on to chaucer's canterbury tales... what fun :-|
thank goodness for proplus, there's no way i could have stayed awake today without it. i haven't got to sleep before 4 in the morning for the last three nights (and it's not even cause i've been partying the nights away, i just haven't been able to get to sleep) and the night before it was at least 2 o'clock cause tim and his girlfriend were snogging loudly in the next room till then... meh. but it turns out that 2 proplus combined with a red bull and a cup of tea are just the thing to drive away sleepiness ;-)

If you can't sleep at night, why not go out for a nice long walk ;-)
And lay off the Red Bull and Proplus!
