Yes, yes, yes... As they say procrastination is the thief of time. I have spent the day procrastinating about my essay and lo and behold I still haven't done one iota of work towards it! Gonna have to get up early and get to work on it. Tonight is a bust! Apart from that I had a great day showing prospective student around halls of residence. I gave the parents a speech about how safe and secure Exmouth is and I gave the students a speech about how fun fresher's fortnight is and how drunk they will get (although we ask students to drink responsibly). On the other hand I recieved my book today about the Falklands war. It'sby Raymond Briggs, that bloke that did the Snowman (walking in the air). It's called the THE TIN-POT FOREIGN GENERAL AND THE OLD IRON WOMAN. It's actually quite sexual in the pictures(Margret Thatcher as a metal woman wearing suspenders with cannon that look like phaluses.. or is that phalli?) But it really brings home the reality of war on a personal level. I probably wouldn't use it in a class but it's a damn good book anyway. Equal to 'When the Wind Blows'. Anyway, got an essay that won't write itself and about 16 hours to write it!

oh-an essay to write-that's the pits-BUT the good thing about an essay is that it makes you formulate your thoughts into something somewhat cohesive and makes you realise how much you really DO know-trying to be positive .The maggie picture sounds...disturbing .
I'm an English specialist and preparing for primary school. All I seem to do is write about books. It can be difficult finding subplots and imagery in 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'
hey,don't knock the very hungry caterpillar-that's one of my all-time favourites! You've got everything in there-the sun,the moon,the life cycle-blossoming and reaching your potential.As you can see,i'm talking crap here .
