trilliumgrlI was supposed to go see City of Lost CHildren. Instead I *gasp* studied (in the library no less) for 2 hours. Then I met up with Julie and Courtney. WE had drinks, we found food, we exchanged gossip. It was a good time and best of all they are going to go see Gangs of New York with me next week. After all that I came home, talked with mom, had some food and then put an order in over at amazon.co.uk. I love it when it's cheaper to buy another book and get free shipping than it is to pay the shipping. :)
My order looks like this:
- "Sirens and Other Daemon Lovers: Magical Tales of Love and Seduction" edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling
- "Culture: the Anthropologists' Account" by Adam Kuper
- "What Was Socialism, and What Comes Next?" by Katherine Verdery
- "Cerulean Sins" (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter) by Laurell K. Hamilton
It's a nicely balanced order, 2 academic books and 2 fun and smut books. Since I spent far less on the later than the former, I don't even feel guilty.
Most significant of all yesterday I passed a milestone: I got my topics picked to revise for exams. There are 6 for each of my full-term courses and 4 each for my half-term. Each of the half-terms have at least 2 units that overlap with one of the full terms, so I feel pretty good about the list. Over the next few days (in between reading Levi-Strauss and writing yet another paper for Parry) I'm going to get resources and timing squared away, then I think I will feel much better about this whole exam thing. Plans are good :)
