Much improved day. Am on the way back up to usual bouncing levels.

Today was much better. I wouldn't go so far as to say it was the best day of my life, or anything, but it's been perfectly acceptable, and nothing objectionable has happened.

I've talked to my DoS - he mostly nodded and agreed with me. In a way, that was mostly what I needed - someone I could have verbal diarrhoea all over. If he'd told me, "You need to do more work. I want you to have an essay finished by this date, and another by this date," this may have been good for me - but I guess I'm meant to be a grown-up now and set my own deadlines. OK, so admittedly in that respect, I do miss secondary school...

Also talked to bee supervisors. After the slightly headless chickenlike state I was in yesterday, they were a bit worried, so have put their foot down and banned me from 4 weeks of bees. The compromise is 1 week of bees, 3 weeks of home. And yes, I will enjoy going home for a bit, seeing parents, guinea pig - even my brother. He's a pain in the bum at times, but he's witty and clever, and he makes me smile. *is mushy*

In other news...Sir Ming!

In other other news...Oxford! On Saturday, for the Tolkien Quiz. Should be fantastic!
