h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Does that count as putting a foreign language on the BBC's site? Well, I bet I spelt it wrong anyway.

I can't believe that I've been here nearly seven weeks. Almost two months! Well, the quicker the term passes, the sooner I'll be home. I'll have to think about getting my train ticket soon.

Anyway, I thought I would put something in here, just to say that I'm still alive. My course is jogging along nicely, and I have the beginnings of a routine, which is always good. In the words of that excellent gentleman in "Dombey and Son", whose name I can never quite remember, (Mr Morphin, I think) anyway, as he said, "we are creatures of habit". I think we all like a degree of certainty, even if it's only going out every Saturday. I like to be in a routine, and get very upset if anything throws it out, but paradoxically I am also highly disorganised and tend to finish things at the last minute in a desperate rush. Lord, what fools these mortals be.

Heigh ho, back to work I suppose. Time is pressing!

(Incidently, time is very busy. What with flying (or "fugit-ing" as my Dad calls it), pressing, marching on and all the other things it reputedly does, does it ever get a chance to put it's metaphorical feet up? I suspect not. I wonder what would happen if it did?)

I suspect if time did things would cease to exist. My History coursework which I was up to 3am doing from 8am certainly wouldn't exist. I think everyone needs a certain amount of routine hence why school isn't so terrible for me, yet it also is in that it acts alot like a penal colony. How are you doing at uni then?

Uni's going fine, thanks for asking.

3am! That even caps my record (1 am)-although that was about 4 years ago, over a geography project. I have stayed awake until 4am over some sewing, but the difference was that I didn't *have* to do it - I just kept working 'cos I wasn't sleepy. BAD IDEA. I felt like death the following day. Still, I got the sewing finished!

Keep in touch,
Cadi.

4 am over sewing!!! No 3am isn't my worst, Im an insomniac anyway, so getting work done at odd hours, is a bit like water off a ducks back, when I'm going through a bad bought of it, but I haven't recently, I've just had tons of work, coursework, essays and Art, but cause I haven't had a bad bought, I'm knackered.

Isn't that always the way? Can't stay awake when you need to, and can't sleep when you want to!

Hope you are now feeling less knackered, and are looking forward to a well-earned break. That is, if they don't pile on the holiday work. BTW, I've always thought that such a stupid expression. Either you're on holiday, or you're working. Not both!

A clock. Sitting.
Oceans. Frozen.
A liver is certainly not metabolizing.
An a bird is glued in the sky.

No thoughts being thought.
No things being bought - time is money, you know.
No endless rivers, no eternal wheel with eight-armed god at its hub.
No cheese, no newspaper, no job, no love, no way of getting to the pub.

Unless I was sat in the pub when time put its feet up.

?!?
