I didn't realise I knew so many words. Though my memory is awful for the words I get wrong so much score keeps going down! Addictive. I must delete the link from my favourites. Now.

I think 3,000 words can be donme just about by then. Just. Well it will have to be. Trying to stay positive and upbeat because then that will show in my work.

my pill? a mixture of alpro chocolate soya milk, swedish glace soy ice cream with banana, and fear*

*pure 100% fear that I will dissapoint my supervisors. I was supposed to hand in tmrw. But can prob just push it to lunchtime saturday.

Argh. Good luck with yours.

Hmmm, juggle with the days if you dare?.... *brief pause whilst I think how to swedify that....*

jonglera med den dagen om du vill. juggle with the days if you want



I couldn't be bothered to try and work out what word I should use for dare (different types used contextually)....

Sorry to hear you are feeling down. Good luck with your admin and lesson plans. That reminds me I need to get in touch with my course convenor and find out what I am supposed to be ta-ing in September...

"Come fly with me, come fly, let's fly away..."

Only tonight and tomorrow night and then I am done.

Thanks for your comments. I'll knuckle down to typing.

Wish me luck.

I am about halfway through a chapter to be submitted in saturday afternoon. It is a short chapter of around 8-10,000 words, which is short, but it feels really important to me that the content is treated seperately. I'm really stuck on it at the mo' and I am not sure what state I will be in with needing to get 3,000 words done by saturday afternoon.

I' more concerned about the chapter length to be honest. Would other forum members consider 8-10,000 words to be too short for a chapter. The lack of scholarship on this particular area means that I am milking scarce primary sources and a thin secondary literature.

and because I'm tired of eighteenth-century history, another http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTQo7TkZQWA&NR=1

Sometimes, I wish I had done something in scandiavian studies instead

Off to get coffee...

Just listening to this song for giggles now: it is called "Här stannar jag kvar"

God, I'm a geek and need to get on with my work!

lol. It means 'I wait here' or really, 'I'm waiting', or 'I'll wait here' or 'I'll stay here waiting'.

You get the point. lol

Not that I am the marrying sort, but I would like hypothetically a simple wooden ring, maybe walnut or oak. Something that would veneer with age, look natural, tell people I was hitched, but would biodegrade in my grave

Här stannar jag kvar

I agree with sleephead. Diamonds should not be traded or encouraged, and certainly not as tokens of love. It is virtually impossible to guarantee that diamonds have come from a 'clean source'. The bling on sale in nice, clean, attractive shops in Europe has come from an industry where poorly paid diamond miners and assoicated workers suffer to produce goods that prop up corrupt governments. Buying these sorts of products helps corporations and governments exploit resources and people to their own ends. Diamonds are not cool.

If property is theft, then diamond miners and their nations are robbed twice. A stone is dug up by their own labour for which they are paid and pittance and then has value added to it by corporations for sale elsewhere. The miners never recieve any of this extra $£ which has been earnt by the labour.
