Mrs Go-Away

Well, it's been a busy couple weeks. I don't know why, since I don't seem to have that much work, but I feel like I'm constantly falling behind and overwhelmed. I have a bunch of clean laundry that I haven't folded yet---although I only washed it last night, so it's a lot better than normal---and reading for A) my London Lit class tomorrow and B) my Genre Fiction class Monday that I haven't done. And I haven't even though about my Ancient History class Tuesday yet---that's for Monday evening Lizzie to work on.

Speaking of London Lit, last week I had to read a pretty dreadful book for it. I'm sorry to any Woolfites (is that a thing?) out there reading this, but  just can't stand Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. I read To The Lighthouse, another book by the same author, back in high school and couldn't really get into it later. The narration is supposed to be "stream-of-consciousness", and I guess it's so stream-of-consciousness that I can't pay attention and slip into my own stream of consciousness. Plus, I don't have any clue what on Earth is happening in the book. I didn't end up getting very far. Which I think was the start of my whole weird backslide.

Other than that, I think I'm slipping into a routine. I spend most of my days alone, actually, but I hang out with friends and go to clubs sometimes. I think living with roommates in America versus having a room to myself here is the main difference---all I share is a kitchen. And my flatmates are all friends from their American schools, so I'm kind of the odd one out.

It's just an awkward situation, but I have plans to hang out with someone next Wednesday. and I'm getting better at being social! Sadly I'm just feeling blegh today so I've stayed in all day. My college is having a free dinner tonight but I'm not sure if I'm going to go or not since I have some homework still, and I still don't feel 100%. We'll see! But I have to go do reading. Toodles!
