02:00 AM - Love's got the world in motion

I wasn't going to mention the "V" word, but I thought I should declare that I think it's another corporate sham, much like Christmas. Purely designed to give the greetings card industry a leg-up before Mothers Day. And give rubber shares a boost.
I haven't actually checked my mail yet, so presumably there are hundreds of cards a-waiting. The only possible reason for there not being is that the postman quit in protest at being asked to carry so many cards for me. And who can blame him? I can't complain, of course, since I haven't sent any myself.
Conclusive proof that I am indeed touched by the hand of God is that I managed to fluke a good grade for the exam I sat a couple of weeks ago (despite, as you'll doubtless recall, arseing up my third essay by imagining that I genuinely appreciated the effect of assassinations on the course of the French wars of religion). Yeah, baby. Still got a good shot at getting a first class degree. I half wish I'd get some crappy grades, because then I wouldn't feel compelled to buckle down and do some real work. (Because I'd have bugger all chance of getting a first, and thus could slack off without feeling I was letting myself down.) As you can tell, buckling down and doing some real work is exactly what I'm doing at the moment. Hey, it's only 10am. Don't worry, I'll start soon.
Well, that was part of my luck for yesterday. I also saw H in the library. The first time I've seen her for nearly three weeks. And she stopped to talk to me. Hooray! Not that I'd pretend that means anything, since I imagine she talks to a lot of people. She could, after all, talk for England. But at least it's something. The bad news is that she can't go to class tomorrow. Thus I'm robbed of another opportunity to (shy away from) ask(ing) her out. So bollocks to that! Not much point going now, is there??! What? What is this "work" thing you speak of?
Oh well. Best be on my merry way. Then, tonight, I think I'll go and sit at the bar for a while. On my own!
