Trivial affairs

Ah... am tired. I don't really know what to do with myself for the next hour or so. Becca has just realised she has a controlled coursework piece this afternoon, and has only just written it. She's now curled up somewhere trying to learn it.
I drowsed through biology... if that can be used as a verb. Kind of like yesterday in Classics, when I was daydreaming, and got suddenly returned to full consciousness by Mrs Wadsworth saying the words, "...and he's holding a huge erect penis..."
Blink. What the hell?
And we've still got the Pompeiian brothels to go yet...

I think I may safely say I'm bored. Which is not a good thing. Because usually, I can keep myself amused. It is the one advantage of being an only child - actually, one of many, but this is a good one - you can always create a little world in your head. I don't think I ever had an actual imaginary friend, but my teddy-bears and bunnies had personalities as well as names... the only reason they didn't talk out loud was because they were shy.

There are a couple of thirds next to me talking. Makes me wonder when I grew out of my interest in such trivial affairs, and if I ever did.
The above sentence is so laden with misplaced superiority I think here would be a good time to stop.
Here.

I used to love latin...

Do you do Cambridge?
Matella est mater. Matella est in atruim...

God, yes! Caecilius est pater. Caecilius in hortum.

I don't do Latin any more, as it happens - I did the first two years and graded tests before getting wholly sick of it. Now I do Classics, the easy option, because I am lazy. Trying to make me do Latin was the closest Pedar ever got to actually telling me what to do(!)

Hehe!

Classics is basically the bits from the back of the chapter, yes? I liked those!

I couldn't be bothered carrying it on, either - just did three years of it.
