day in a life

Well I have been reading more than the doctor recommended on the Icelandic sagas. All the men and women, mainly men though and why they wrote and what about and everything in between. I have a great teacher that specializes in this era and has published a few books and essays on the subject. All very interesting but not exactly my favorite kind of literature. I am kinda nervous about the test I have to take on the subject by the end of the month....
The subject is very interesting and a good teacher makes it even better but I hear he is very strict and since he is an expert I am very nervous.

Well my son just came home from spending the weekend with his dad and he came complaining for the first time. I hate it when he feels like this but I can't change the rules at his dads house. His dad is kinda driving me mad these days and it will end with me getting annoyed and telling him he can't stop by like this. For some reason it has become a habit with him to ask if he can come over for coffee when it's my weekend and his wife is at work! That is just not OK and a few times I have had a lie ready so when he calls I tell him we are going out or something. I find it unbelievable that I lived with the man for 5 years.

I guess I am feeling a bit low these days, not all the time just underneath, lurking about some restlessness or loneliness. The problem with me is I don't want to go out and meet people but sometimes it would be nice to have someone. I am always alone at night and the weekends when my boy isn't here I sometimes stay in my pajamas and read all weekend long.

I'm addicted to tea these days, start the day with a lemon tea and at certain hours I get a certain kind of tea. Green tea is high on the list, I was thinking about buying a cup with the quote: Tea, Earl Grey, hot. it's from Star Trek and guess who said it... yep Picard. I took a test the other day, well I took 4 different tests to find my inner ST character and 3 of them said Picard and one was only with TOS so I was Spock, it made my day

I have only read 8 books this year but I am trying to finish 9 and 10 as we speak, I was going to do better this semester and I am trying too, there are just sooooo many articles to read too. I am also trying to figure out what I should write an essay about in my 'animals in pictures and texts' course, I have to find some interesting book I think. I am doing a small project in that course about the lyrics to 'Meat is Murder' and I am planning my next one to be on a documentary about Sloths, the essay is not decided yet.

Well gotta get my tea and try to finish Ovid, he is still on my nightstand, Virgil is over though so yay for me! These are the men I bring to my bed so don't feel sorry for me! I'm a lucky girl.
