Realm: Academics - Subrealm: Tests and trials

Today:
7:20 Wake up
7:40 Get Grace up
8:40 Arrive at Uni. Do damage control on overflowing inbox. Study for German test. Attempt to get "The Bonny Swans" out of head, so as to avoid writing "Hey, ho with me bonny, o" on exam paper.
10:05 Arrive at classroom
10:15 Exams distributed
11:35 Decide "fick dass", hand in paper. Hope corrector not too annoyed by awful handwriting, tendency to use 15th c. abbreviations.
12:00 Note to self: even for the sake of supporting organic farming in Germany, the Bio-essen in the dining hall is WAY too pricey.
2:00: head over to archive, read about women getting banished for getting into knife fights in 15th c. Konstanz.

Attempt to get "The Bonny Swans" out of head, so as to avoid writing "Hey, ho with me bonny, o" on exam paper . . . tendency to use 15th c. abbreviations.

That could have been a fascinating combination!

Oh yes.
"Ein Rab´ quam an ein(e) Graß
Hwie hie ho, with me bonny oh,
do vant er, was im liep was
Swans swim so bonny oh--
Pfauenfedern vil michel teil
Hwie hie ho, with me bonny oh,
Des wart er fro unde geil,
Swans swim so bonny oh..."

. . . I hope you properly appreciate how terrifying it is that you could just actually do that.

I just ate Bio-Lasagne, a clementine, and a Twix bar (OK, not so bio) and the Mensakarte, which started out with €3.64, still has 19 cents on it.

Granted, I managed to get a smaller than usual piece.

Well, I´d just looked up the lyrics to the Bonny Swans (though that was sort of a fusion between the online lyrics and the way I´d remembered it); and then on my way home that afternoon it had occured to me how that combination might work, so I looked up the words to Die Rabe mit den Pfauenfedern. Though I guess that´s scary in itself.

Hi Josh. I just found you LJ page. We really should get together with you two sometime, given that we are only an hour a way. from the few entries of your LJ that I read, it sounds like you are very busy but enjoying life. Take care :)

...well, an hour away once we come home from Germany. But yes. Definitely! (especially if Ben postpones the wedding until summer ´07).
WHAT´s this about Darik´s meseum curatorship and three musicals? I thought he was still at Westminster...
Oh, and I´m considering taking a break from academia and following you guys into High School teaching for a bit. Got any advice?
