Currently sitting in a university lecture hall, listening to somebody (professor's assisstant kind of thing?) reading the professor's notes. Because the prof is home ill or something. And instead of just putting everything online (with lecture notes, preferably), this girl is reading everything with some very funny pronunciation, e.g. myracles. :)
But seriously, I love Audacity. No note-taking for me :D
Edit: Hm...okay, the prof was at the doctor's, who told her she was about to drop dead (hyperbole lol), and then at the hospital and the people at the hospital told her, no, she's fine actually XD"

And I'm currently windowshopping for tea. Damn you, swing_set13, for showing me David's Tea! Well, not really, because the tea looks lovely. But, you know, my poor money! And when I get around to actually order loads of stuff, I'll still have to wait 2-8 weeks until it gets here! DX And then my parents or my whole family will mock me because we have so much tea at home and I'm always buying more. But I can live with that :D

I've also recently become addicted to Cabin Pressure, a BBC radio show about a tiny little airline (airdot) and its crew of four. Brilliant and hilarious and I &hearts it forever.

In conclusion:

My mother's making me correct some of her English tests. I'm a poor girl. Especially considering what some people write. But, well, I haven't had a really bad one yet. I'm hoping that she kept the bad ones for herself XD

Also, I got a couple of my friends hooked on H50 and the BBC Sherlock :D Always fun :3
Also also, I think I'm going to give Doctor Who another try.

Vitally important LJ entry is over. Getting back to the tests now...

Seriously, it's driving me crazy. And, what's even worse, it's not as if it's all that difficult. It's just tedious and, no, yes, it's kind of difficult. See, there's a kind of review about a restaurant, which is written in a deliberately dull and uninformative style so that we, poor students that we are, can spruce it up a bit.
My problem with it is as follows: They say that we should rewrite the review, "keeping the same structure, but informing the reader and making the restaurant, and your description, sound interesting." But "the same structure"? What does that mean? Keep it at four paragraphs? With the same information (only more) in the respective paragraphs? Or keep the sentence structure mostly the same, except add adjectives and stuff? Because I just want to rewrite the whole thing entirely!
So, the thing is, I don't know what the prof wants. If I leave the sentence structure as is and just put more information in there, it might not be interesting enough. It's certainly not satisfying to write. But at the same time, if I change too much, it might be a problem because I was supposed to leave the bloody structure alone.
All in all, I suspect I'm just driving myself pointlessly insane, when I should just be getting on with this thing.

On a different note. I'm bloody exhausted. I don't even know why. Yesterday I slept till 11am and, as far as I can remember, I didn't go to bed very late yesterday. I think. Maybe midnight? Or half past? Or maybe a bit later after all because I wanted to read a chapter of A Study in Scarlet. Which, btw, I shouldn't even be reading because I have to read Moll Flanders and a fuckload of other stuff (books and papers/articles) for uni. Where was I? Right, tired. Maybe it's the weather. Also, it's already getting dark and it's only 4:15pm.

I've recently watched the new-ish BBC Sherlock. I like. A lot. And even more recently, I've spent lots of time reading all the fanfic that's been written for it. I like that a lot too. Time-consuming though.
Anyway, so this whole Sherlock Holmes liking thing is why I'm giving A Study in Scarlet a try. Because I remember reading a Sherlock Holmes story at some point when I was younger. I can't remember which one, I think that it was German and I also think that maybe I didn't finish it because it was all so improbable and I didn't like Sherlock. I mean, seriously, he could devine from seeing the mud on somebody's shoe that he'd been...whereever he had been. That was just too much. I also never liked Hercule Poirot...and the only story I've ever read with him in it, was a Christmas one, I think...or, well, there was some kind of party or something and somebody played a trick on someone and pretended to be dead. I think Poirot was a co-conspirator. Maybe. Anyway, now I wonder, if maybe Holmes and Poirot are kind of similar characters, but I wouldn't know since I never really read any of their stories.
Long story short...I'm giving Doyle the benefit of the doubt. Maybe I'll like Holmes more now. I'm also reading in English now, so that might help.
I wonder if that story really was in German or not...I wish I remembered how old I was.

Okay, enough procrastination, I guess. I'll just keep the sentence structure the same for now and see how that goes. If I decide it sucks (and if I feel ambitious enough), I can always change it around again.

I'm trying to study for an exam next Thursday. It's kind of working. But it's also kind of not working. Mostly I feel like I've already done enough for today and I've only been studying for...I don't even know. Not long. 30 minutes maybe? Or maybe even a bit longer! It's just kind of boring. I think I need other music.

Also I've been kind of wanting to try writing fanfiction for Hawaii Five-0. And then I stumbled across leupagus's promptfest-thing and I was even more . God, it sucks that I can't think of the word I want to use in any of the languages that I know. *headdesk* Anyway. TEMPTED! That's the word I wanted. What does that mean in German...? *leos* Hm...interesting. Seriously, why can't I speak my own bloody mother tongue? I wish I could... Anyway, I actually wrote a couple of haikus because and_ed wanted somebody to do it and I thought: Ooooh, why not? I think I'll probably go back to leupagus's post and request a prompt. Provided I can drum up the courage to do so. But it all seems to be very much no-pressure, which is awesome.

Yesterday I introduced a friend to Hawaii Five-0. Before that I had sent her a couple of pictures of Steve, Danny, Chin and Kono and I made her watch the trailer. She had actually said that Steve wasn't really very handsome. But that didn't hold up yesterday. She did say that Chin wasn't all that handsome, which I don't understand at all.

Alright...I think that was enough procrastination for now. I'll try the studying thing again now. See you in 10 minutes XD

It's always fun holding a speech in German. Especially when, before the class began, I tried to hold a conversation with a friend (also in German) and failed pretty epically. Note that German is my mother tongue. The speech was mostly successful, I think.

On a different note, the weather today is brilliant! I'll have to spend must of the day outside. Blue sky with a couple of clouds for variety's sake and probably 20°C or something. Pretty strange weather for November though, as evidenced by my headache. Also I'm hungry and tired. I think when I get home I'll eat and then I'll go lie down in the backyard somewhere and sleep.

Yesterday university really fucked me up. But apparently it was just a one day bug so to say. I'm feeling better about uni again. I think I was just seriously bored out of my mind yesterday. Like, literally.

Today I have to write up a handout for a speech that may be 2 minutes long (or longer, if we feel like it). I really don't feel like writing a handout, but well. I'll just throw something together and it'll probably be fine. I shouldn't be making myself crazy anyway because the prof in this class is giving out either 1's or 2's. And she said, you only get a 2 if you're, like, asleep all the time. XD

I think I might take a nap before I start working though. Because I have a headache (again) and I'm hoping it'll be gone by the time I wake up. So yeah, sleep. Sleep is good.

You know what? I can't quite remember why I "called" my journal "forkful of honey". I think maybe I tried to eat honey with a fork at some point. And it may have struck me as funny. Don't ask me why I used a fork though because a) I can't remember and 2) ... there is no 2). I just really can't remember. Maybe I found a fork lying around somewhere and couldn't be bothered getting a spoon instead.

Also? Don't ask me why I'm writing this entry right now because it is beyond pointless. Basically, my Internet is slow as fuck and I don't know why. If it weren't I would be watching a couple more youtube videos right now even though I should probably go to bed so that I can actually get up tomorrow morning.

Oh hey...I think my something year LJ anniversary is coming up. Because I remember writing my first entry on Halloween. I can also vaguely recall saying something like this before, so maybe it's my three year anniversary? It's possible. God, sometimes I wish my memory weren't so filled with holes. Unfilled with holes?
Never mind. Sleep now. Good night!

P.S.: Halloween party tomorrow. Don't know what to wear. Possible costume: responsible adult/teacher. Other than that: black clothes. Wow, my creative genius knows no bounds. Or also: private eye.

My mum woke me up in the morning today even though I could've slept till noon. And you know why she did it? Because it was snowing! That's really funny for some reason. But also awesome because snow if made of win! I so so hope it'll keep snowing lots and lots this winter!
And now I think I have to go for a walk before all this beautiful snow melts away *knocks on wood*

I'm starting to feel kind of down again. Happens every other day. Mostly because I really don't like uni anymore, I guess. I should just go to sleep because, you know, sleep = not thinking = not feeling down. I should at least go get ready for bed because then I can just fall into bed when I don't feel like staying up anymore. Meh.

( spoilers for SPN5x10 )

Anyway, off to bed now.
Good night, sleep tight and all that jazz.

Edit: Okay, so I just found out that the next episode of SPN will be on January 14 21 (damn it). WTF? What am I supposed to watch until January? No Leverage, no Psych. Guess I'll watch White Collar...haven't seen the last couple of episodes yet anyway. Still...sucks.
