Parents are in; so can't go and steal one of the mega-poppin' icecreams as she will be shouted at for being a fat slag.
None of my friends are available to go out.
I'm bored.
And hungry.

Am eating crisps and listening to Lily Allen and wanting to be entertained at the moment. Terrible timing.

that cost 15p a pack (win) but my last pack tasted like ready salted :(
Had crumpets for tea. Nom.
Parents aren't too bad, looking forward to moving out for at LEAST 40 weeks a year (how long I have accommodation for). I'm still young. But had a fight today, not nice.

presume it was with your parents, not actual fisticuffs with someone.
Good luck with the exams.

It's a shame; we get on really well as a family.
It's just the one module now. I've got this horrible feeling I've fucked up.
I'm on such a downer today! :D

The thing to remember though is they can always be retaken, and failing that if they don't work out as well as you hoped, they can lead on to better things than you'd planned.
If you're doing Latin, French or German, give me a yell!

I've finished my Latin exams! It's just Greek prose comp left! I didn't knwo you were a Classicist of some flavour, though I guessed you had some through the username.

however I do have A-level Latin: ask me anything about Tacitus' Annals book XV or Virgil's Aeneid book VI.
My school didn't offer Greek or I'd have taken it, I adored Classics.
Don't be scared: I was going to do Latin at uni until I cocked up my Tacitus paper and actually ended up somewhere much better! Where are you hoping to go, to do what, and all those other questions I have no doubt you're sick of by now?

I did Annales I (The soldiers are revolting; I know, I can smell them from here), Aeneid IV and XII, Cicero's Pro Roscio Amerino, and Juvenal's Satire III.
I love Classics too- my username is from Aristophanes. I'm hoping to go to KCL to do Classics, if I miss my offer I'll go to Edinburgh, if I miss THAT I'm fucked. What did you do?

Wish my copy was here and not at my parents' house, I'm dying to read it again now. Tacitus is fantastic, I really enjoyed Annals; the bit we did was all about Nero so it was fantastically decadent and over-the-top.
I've not read much Aristophanes; had to read The Birds for uni as I did a wild Classics module but don't remember much about it, to my shame. Initially I was going to do French and Latin at Exeter (or else at St Andrews) but I got something ludicrously bad and ended up with French and Italian at Kent, which I adored :)

was move away from my parents, for reasons I have often detailed on here. They're 300 miles away for a reason, and still don't know flatmate isn't my boyfriend any more. We split in March. I have had an offer to impersonate him if they show up, though...
