Grr. My brain has given up, and I have a speech to write, and I have a massive attack of lazy-itis going on instead of doing so. I've messed around on Neopets, glanced through my email, read LJ... and now I'm posting a LJ entry, in the grand tradition of stalling.

Today I missed the early train I was meant to get home, but did also manage to save Melody from going to Colchester, and then get a lift back from the station, and get fed chocolate cake courtesy of Melody and chocolate courtesy of person-on-the-train-whose-name-may-or-may-not-be-Coral so it wasn't a complete loss.

Today I did what I considered to be a pretty good presentation in Economics; my speaking-to-roomsful-of-people skills are marred only by the way I make them all feel seasick because if I have to stand up for any length of time I begin to sway from side to side, without actually noticing this, especially if I'm talking.

Today, the lesson I was happiest in was PE. How times change.

I'm sure that notsolongago I thought of half a dozen deep-and-meaningful things to write entries about here. And I'm sure that as soon as I try to get some sleep, they'll all wave at me again and say 'why didn't you write about meee?'. But I can't remember any of them now.

Oh, and last night I had a dream about trains, and missing them. Except it was 2am, so there was more than an hour to wait before the next one, and the train station was open-air in the middle of nowhere, for some of the time, and some of the time there were computers and a desk by it, so that I could do the General Studies paper I thought was to be handed in today that I haven't done (I've now done about half of it, and thankfully it wasn't for today anyway). I started off with Sath and Naath and the desks and stuff were there, and then I had the same dream again except it was a small station in the middle of nowhere, and I was with Jenny-Marie and Vanessa and Amy Leaman, and it was dark, and we'd just missed the last train home, 'cos we'd been out (partying, I guess). And Amy's parents came to take her home but there wasn't room in the car for us and anyway they weren't going right to where we lived so it'd be just as difficult to get home from there. Then the other two left, to go find a bus, because it was getting very cold on the platform, but I didn't have any money, just my train ticket, so I had to stay there, and it was all dark and lonely. And during the dark-and-lonely moonlit bit I gradually turned into Melody, and Alain came looking for me, and then for some reason there was a little campfire, where we waited for the train together, watching all the ones going to strange and random destinations go past.

I woke up before the train came.
