Teddy Bear Day/Hot Dog Day

My personal statement is chugging along quite nicely, even if my revision is in a dismal state. Last night, Shen Ting diagnosed me to be suffering from Tchaikovsky syndrome, whatever that is. Ever feel like you're doing something good, but you know you could do better? Then when you're doing better, you start to realise that a conception of what is good is necessarily normative, so maybe, just maybe, you aren't good enough. Welcome to the morass of the written word. Economics is interesting though, as everything's slowly coming together, albeit in a sketchy sort of way that probably just passes rather than aces an examination. History is one heckuva nightmare, which I can't decide how to handle. Dropped Italian and German unification for new imperialism, because screw it, I won't score particularly well for either, so I might as well do the topic that has a thinner stack of notes. Am sticking with French Revolution though, because it is interesting, despite what I've said previously to my friends. Now if only I had paid more attention, I might have a chance at guessing which particular area is coming out! Hope it's something dead easy like 1789...
