Twice I've been thwarted in my quest for the Magna Canta CD, although I suppose there really wasn't time today to get it. Now if only we hadn't waited for Vaish. Haha, just kidding! Romeo & Juliet wasn't quite as good as I'd expected. Lacked the grandiosity I'd expect from a Shakespeare production, not to mention that Romeo and Juliet looked far too old. I've enjoyed other plays much more in the past year. I admit that by the time the second act started, I was just waiting for the lovers to die. I liked the live music though, even if it did sound off-key at times, and those black figures that kept appearing on the stage. If only the bimbos sitting behind me hadn't felt the need to provide a running commentary running along the lines of: "So scary! He's going to die now! So scary!" You get the idea. If you want to say something during a play, please let it be intelligent. I want to watch Boeing Boeing next month after our Common Tests! Anyone interested? I need to book tickets by March 15 to get a 15% discount. Today's lecture test went incredibly well, for which I'm grateful. Civics before that was funny, discussing stuff like why the motto of Hogwarts' is Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus. I like Civics elective modules! You get to slack, and it's a nice change from doing nothing actually. Speaking of doing nothing, today's PE lesson rocked! Another of those team-building sessions, which only had the effect of making me wonder what was the point of what we were doing. Jose is damn cunning. Enough said. Incidentally, some people say the weirdest things sometimes, and when you least expect it. Ah well, I suppose a compliment, no matter how awkwardly it came off, is still a compliment.

Reading Mr Purvis's comments about my poems has made me feel vindicated, in the sense that at least I know someone else likes a particular line other than me. In fact, I was so happy that I incorporated the line into my latest work, which I started during his GP tutorial. Currently have two stanzas more to go before it's done. Now I sort of regret deleting that line from On A Tuesday Morning after some stranger criticised it for being too "obvious". In fact, I don't like that poem very much anymore, which is what Dan told me during our break. I think in a way the poem's becoming more artificial than it was previously. Not in terms of its language, which has been significantly muted, but in the emotion it conveys. Not too pleased with myself for giving in so easily to editorial influence. I still find it thoroughly amusing that the poem Another Night On The Patio, which I think represents a high point in my writing, was written during a Mathematics lecture last year. I think everyone who's into the dating scene should read it, if only for a reality check. Maybe I'm being too presumptious, or maybe I'm actually right...
