Right after I read thirteenon7's post about the ABC show "Shape, Shape, Shape" (yeah, I sure am 200 entries behind on my friends list), I realised it was on tv right at that moment. And there was a segment on tessellation, so that was a nice start to the day (don't ask, I don't even think I can begin to explain why I like tessellation). Technically though, the day started yesterday afternoon. I stayed up all night Monday half-arsedly working on my discussion board critique for Cyberculture, putting more and more of my arse into it as the night wore on and I realised I really just wanted to be in bed. I didn't seriously start work on it till about 5am, and Blackboard decided to be down for a while around then too, which was super helpful. I handed it in at 8ish (sweet, sweet digital drop box) and crashed out till a bit before 5pm, so sleep was not on the cards for me last night. It's hard enough to get to sleep when I'm actually tired, but 6am rolled around this morning and I was still wide awake, so I went looking for anything to knock me out. Would you believe every single medication in this house is non-drowsy? Fuckers.

So I stayed up instead, because as much as I want to sleep all day I've got too much stuff to do. I started cleaning my room last week sometime, and there's still tons of stuff piled on the floor that needs to be sorted out. At least all the clothes which were on the floor are in the wash, that makes a huge difference. Without clothes covering the floor, I'm less likely to step on concealed cutlery. I need a definitive list of Stuff That Doesn't Go In The Washing Machine, and also Stuff That Doesn't Go In The Dryer. You'd think that's what the washing instructions tag inside each piece of clothing is for, but most of my clothes are so old the writing's worn off or the tag's gone all together. And mum ignores the instructions half the time anyway, I can just never remember which ones it's safe to do that for. On the domestic side of things, I've got cooking covered nicely, but cleaning's never quite been my strong point.

If I get sick of cleaning, there's always more uni work to be done. I have about 8500 words to write over the next fortnight (6000 in the next week, huzzah!), including learning the entire course for Critical Thinking, which I've still only been to one class for (that was when we had the test in week 6... and I passed, woo!). Never again will I make the mistake of taking two classes that are on at the same time... well, not unless I'm presented with a dire selection of courses like I was this semester. And hopefully next year I'll be less, y'know, consistently ill. I'm off for another blood test today, that's always fun.

I can't stress enough how much I love this song. You can never fault Ella, and I quite like The Ink Spots too. Apparently they're still around today, though it must be like 70 years since the group started. They've, uhh, been through a few changes in the line-up :P
