Tomorrow I have my first summer class. It's online, but I really prefer classes to be in the flesh. Meh.

But you can go to school in your PJ's - I love correspondence courses, but I have to have paper based subjects, because I like the feel of books.

I like actually going to class, but it was not possible to take 3 classes in person this summer. I guess there is something to be said for being able to show up to class in various stages of un/dress?

I like the smell of olde books. I have a book of Shakespeare's complete works printed in 1937. It has a slightly musty, distinctly 'book' smell(olde paper, binding agents, olde leather) and a faint, underlying aroma of cigar or pipe smoke.

I agree. I'm taking four correspondence courses over the summer and its hard to motivate myself to adhere to a schedule. I'm ahead in my reading for my anthropology course but the other courses are kinda getting neglected >.> Serial killers are just a little more interesting than "what is morality?"

My ass is too lazy to adhere to a schedule on my lonesome. I'd be more interested in studying serial killers, too. Actually, I often wonder while watching biography's and shows about them what the hell goes on in their minds. Is it chemical or biological?

I feel like I get more out of face to face interactions with teachers and other students. It is a bit more stressful in person, but it pays off academically.

Day one. Not too bad and a fair chance will not have to run around doing stupid crap.

My oldies used to have an old pipe that I think a grandparent smoked. As a kid I loved sniffing it - loved the smell of pipes (tobacco pipes)

But yeah the smell of old books is pretty cool.

Oh and correspondence courses are the best! I love them and I'm a procrastinator from way back. Just go through your work and set your deadlines a week before they are due, then work you butts off to meet the 'new' deadlines and you have a week to proof your assignments.

Ah-Ha the dog got an unrelated illness, but maybe it isn't. Maybe she fell on him when I was sleeping in late.

Fruitbat 06-02-2011 11:51 PM

So there is a major funk happening here at the moment... all hte girls at the gym were talking about it, as they were admiring one of the girl's blackeyes from boxing class.

Been trying to get that light deep inside to catch again.. I think it's caught.. I'm batty again... Woohoo.

That awkward moment when owls have a better lovelife than you.
SIGH

honeythorn 06-04-2011 03:53 PM

OHmygod that's far too sweet ! *squee*

Also, HOOOOOOORRRRRRRRNNNNNNN !

Fruitbat 06-04-2011 03:57 PM

Geol - double sigh.

That's adorable.

It's so cold here, it could freeze the knickers off a footballer.

Catch 06-05-2011 01:05 PM

Yes, the football knickers industry is in danger. It is a warm 80 degrees here.

Llyallowyn 06-05-2011 06:34 PM

Those owls are too cute and yes, their love life is better than mine.

Correspondence lasses really are the best, unless your professor never returns your emails with vital information on how to complete a portion of the course. I prefer being in person, but it's hard to schedule around working retail.

Just finished my philosophy homework, surprised at the lack of jargon so far XD

I'm jealous. It's so cold here my fingers are too stiff to type (makes for a lot of backspace usage).

Man I'm heading north again.

Oh got two book covers done, and have got the wood for my vegie garden, and am hit with a major dose of procrastination.

Am proud to annouce that I have lived with a huntman in the house for two weeks. He's taking a self-guided tour of the house - started in the kitchen, and is now in the bedrooms. I told him he can't miss the spectacle that is the bathroom.

Buster is fine. No one fell on him. There is a problem affecting his breed at two years old. He is fine after a weekend of treatment at the vet.

Fruitbat 06-07-2011 06:19 AM

I can't play anymore on g.net... I have to work :(

stop cheering you custards!

Just a friendly piece of advice. It is against the rules here (literally, you can go read it in the FAQ's) to make such a recommendation. You might get warned (if the Admin likes you well enough) or you could be banned.

That really does make a ton of sense. Think about it.
