So, after having a few days of busy running around, going to birthday celebrations, doing work, writing to penpals and sleeping, today was the first day I have had in what seems like ages when I haven't actually done something.
Nothing.
Well, I have done a bit more of my coursework, but that is literally the only thing I can say I have achieved today. Unless chatting to my boyfriend on msn counts, anyway. Yesterday was far more interesting for it was finally the night of the Mod fancy dress.

Krissy first suggested it three months ago, and since then I have been frantically researching what sort of stuff I could get away with wearing, what the make up should be like etc. My dress arrived two weeks ago. When last night finally arrived, I was so looking forward to it.
Fate, it seemed, had everything against me, and everything went wrong before I set out. Mods had their eyes big, so I needed lots of mascara. Unfortunately, I had been into M&S earlier that day and, because of their confusing new set up (the make up should have been on ground floor, but wasn't) I couldn't find any more make-up. Typically, when I was getting ready, the mascara was completely empty, and so was the concealer. The coat I was going to wear had a stain on it. I realised a couple of minutes before I was going to set out that my tights had a hole in them.
Despite all that, I had a fantastic night. Wayne was there, looking great in his Mod gear (skinny fit jeans, black t-shirt, waistcoat, tie and Trilby hat) and I got to meet Clare, the friend that Krissy goes on about all the time. You can certainly see why the pair of them are friends!

Anyway - the reason I am writing this is mainly a way of procrastinating from the work I know I have to do. The hand in date is May 5th. Not far away, and yet I have so much to do!
There's four modules to my course: Short Stories, Narratives, Research for Writers and Non-Linear Narratives. The coursework is as follows...

- A non-linear hypertext of 2000 words.
(I have my first draft completed, and I have just finished putting it onto a website thing with all hyperlinks in.)
- A portfolio of work for non-linear narratives, and short stories (1,500 - 5,0000 words)
I have done one story of less than a thousand words for Short Stories and I have done a couple of bits and bobs for Non-Linear Narratives.
- A dissertation proposal
Mostly done

So yeah...it suddenly dawned on me earlier how little time I have to get everything done, and yet I still can't stop procrastinating!
