Apparently a good (long and loud) cry helps. Even though I had no really good reason (one that I would have been conscious of, at least) to howl like that in the middle of the night, it helped; I've felt so cheerful the whole day. Hey, I wasn't even bothered by the tax papers I got via mail today. Speaking of mail... "Tipping the Velvet" arrived. I will now be a bad and not-so-responsible student and spend my evening reading it. Screw that exam I have scheduled for Friday, I'll go to the retake if I have to.

I had that job interview today. Terribly long way I had to walk, I would estimate it to be approximately five kilometres per side. My feet are not happy, they hurt. I think I'll continue with the worm game once I'm finished writing this. Yours truly actually got herself back on top of the list (I was temporarily beaten; but remember that a lion is dangerous even in defeat): over seven thousand points; the second has over five thousand! *malicious laughter*

I'm sure you're all very much aware of the events at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. I was supposed to write an entry on the subject here today, but as I was writing it at the Spot the teacher G walked by and I got an idea to write my NALC course's essay on the shootings; he approved the subject so I'm going to revise my writings to go for at least remotely academic approach on the matter. I had a nice idea of the introduction in the process. Not very academic, though, and may go straight to hell as I'm finished writing it; can I really relate myself enough on Cho's state of mind to write a cogent, really short story ("minuuttinovelli") on the events that took place on that campus that morning? Maybe not. But whatever the result, I *will* get the song "Child in Time" squeezed in that text, in one form or another. It would make a tolerable introduction, too. Well, we'll see.
Speaking of writing, I came across a nice definition of the essential parts of the Finnish language from the point of view of foreigners: "no future, no sex". I find it hilarious, but I also feel like I shouldn't be having fun right after acknowledging Virginia Tech's massacre.
