Days to first exam: 11
Days to last exam: 23
Hours studied today: 3 and a half
Subjects studied: maths, English, history, biology
I have my Irish book right here in front of me, and I hope to do a bit of that before I fall asleep. Not very hopeful, that. I stopped this afternoon to go to the gym [1.5 miles in 15 minutes, and I need better than that - 13 minutes, to be precise - so that's not a brag :-)] then when I came back I gave into the bad demon that told me to go watch SW: Attack of the Clones (lightsabers! explosions! strange little green men!). I didn't take much convincing: a galaxy far far away is far more interesting that the themes of Emily Dickinson's poetry for me any day.
In writing: 3 new pages, 750 words. The fight scene went well, I think. Now I get to take my characters off to a new planet, and get started on complicating the new-old problems in their lives. The words, the words go marching on...
I might actually get somewhere with this project (Yeah, finished maybe). As an amateur/aspiring SFF writer - ah, damn, who'm I trying to fool? May as well admit the truth: I truly don't have a clue if what I'm doing is worth it, and my chances - what's the word? - truly suck.
Enough already. Irish calls.
