Today we studied Haiku poems. I don't care what anybody says, they suck. Maybe in their original format they are beautiful but they were not designed to be written or spoken in the English language so, putting it bluntly, they just sound shit. We have to write three for our homework and it's really annoyed me. I also started trying to read Moll Flanders today which is part of my "Narrative fiction and the novel" module. I was really looking forward to starting it as I know a little about the plot and had already read the introduction so I felt like it would be a really good read but to be honest, I was too tired to take anything in. My flatmate Becky had the same idea so we both sat in our rooms attempting to read a decent chunk of it but ended up just meeting in the kitchen for food and gossip instead.
Sleep is something that hasn't been coming. I didn't get in until almost 6am this morning and I had to be up at half 8 for lectures. I'm not complaining because last night was brilliant but I really do need to stop drinking and staying up all night if I'm going to be able to function in classes, I don't think I've been to a single lecture where I've not been falling asleep yet and all my friends are the same.
Last night I was supposed to go to a Harvey Nichols party with Becca, Ashlee and Diane but when we got to town we found that it;d been cancelled so we went and bought loads of Schnapps and cheap Malibu and played drinking games in Connor's flat. Connor and Jack now have huge bruises and scars on their faces as a result of Srijan jumping on them when they were mid-piggyback and there's police shit going on as a result of a few creeps who got into the flat and upset someone there causing a bit of a fight to break out. Drama.
Despite being tired, today wasn't that bad because I finished at 1 and just spent the whole day sitting in the sun with people from the flats nearby. Getting to know more people everyday, it's good.
