(Sorry H, and anyone else who sees this and still has things to do.)
Nine hours, nigh on sixty pages of scrawl later, and I'm done!! Whooop! I had a feeling at about 10.20 this morning that the exam was never going to end, but luckily (as I thought it might do) time started going quite quickly by the time I got to starting my third essay at 11. And then I went to the pub for lunch, and had a Desperados (tequila-flavoured beer), which I didn't think they even did over here (it was brewed in France, so I wonder if it was imported) and a burger. Then I went to shops, which were a bit rubbish, but I was saved from the potential travesty of not buying anything from Fopp the record shop by an advert on the way out that said Crystal Castles had a new album! I'm listening to it now, and it's great - still very CC-like, but with a touch more clubbiness and even(!) listenability. I also bought some jelly beans, on which I'm gorging.
For posterity's sake, before I forget (though it's almost certainly of no interest to anyone else), I'm putting below the cut the diss title + nine questions that will decide my degree. Dubious amusement may be found, though, alas, I didn't do the question where we were asked to discuss a quote from Billie Piper... ('We've only been exposed to the drug-fuelled, sex traffic side - but the fact is, there are middle-class, cultured, well-read women who take part in this job.' (Billie Piper on Belle de Jour). Is this remark helpful for understanding prostitution in antiquity?)
( So this is Classics (and what have you done?) )
Beer festival this evening! :D
(Oh, wow, I am suddenly so tired...)
