No time for faffing...

So in my last post, I forgot to include my absolute FAVO(U)RITE new word. Faffing. As in, I spent all day faffing about and accomplished nothing. Faffing really does encompass so many wonderful things. You can faff in the kitchen, in a park, on the internet... anywhere, really. Endless applications! And it goes so well with 'procrastinating,' which is another of my favo(u)rite words (and pastime activities).

My typical faffing often involves blog-updating as part of a larger assignment-procrastination strategy. Unfortunately, the current assignment load is so large and overwhelming that I really haven't had time to write about any of my recent adventures. And I need to. And I will. I will relate amusing anecdotes about snow ball fights, Nottingham, the Lake District, driving on the wrong side of the road, Bath, Barcelona, and London. So much to tell! So many good/embarrassing pictures. See (below)! Evidence of me concentrating REALLY hard whilst driving on the WRONG side of the road through mountains. MOUNTAINS! Isn't your curiosity piqued?And look! A colo(u)r-coded sheep beneath an ominous sky. Intriguing! Adventure-tastic!
But I can't do it right now. Right now I need to buckle down and finish these projects, or I won't actually be able to pass my classes, start my thesis, and bring home the masters-degree-bacon (preferably sans swine flu). Current final project word-count tally? 6,000 down, 10,000 left to write by May 14th. Wish me luck.
