watched a shitty movie with unbelievably shitty lines. but hey it had some very nice dogs running around, so okay. i think i know why i can't study gothic lit. the cover pages scare me. frankenstein's monster has evil, cunning eyes. jane eyre's all dark and foreboding. hotel de dream is okay i guess, i just need to find it. and so! i'll try to read as much as i can before the exam. maybe i'll even finish one of the books.

just saw an ad for a cruise. it would be lovely if we could take a cruise to nowhere. lean against the balcony, watching the blue-white-blue waves foam beneath us, and the soft morning sky like watered silk. blue-white-blue. seabreeze. (is that the name of a horse?) drifting slowly, nothing before us, nothing behind us. i'm a little scared of deep water. because (of refraction, ah hah i remember) the water always seems so much shallower than it really is. and because sometimes things lurk beneath the surface. and because once i watched someone walk slowly into the night sea, ignoring my screams for her to turn back. see, sister, i don't forget, after all.

my mother said we could get a female labrador, maybe. they're smaller (not by much, but i didn't tell her that). she's really warming to the idea of having a puppy to play with at home, although i'll probably be doing all the dirty work, since i'm somehow always in charge of the pets. maybe because they're usually mine. hmm.

oh and exams were shitty. didn't know the binomial formula was in the booklet and so left the question blank. had no idea how to do a lot of questions. but hey, i expected that. spotted correctly, (thank God!) for econs. unfortunately after the first question i lost interest and muddled through the other two essays. i hope the marker knows what i was trying to say, because i certainly didn't and still don't. oh well, it's only prelims. no biggie.

and hello, there! dreamer of my dreams, thinker of my thoughts, smasher of something glass and oddly-shaped.
