Does your fog float low? Can you tie it in a knot, can you tie it in a bow?

That's all three written exams over with - just english and drama left. I was heartened by yesterday's two-unit test (I think I love you, calculus), but alas, 3U did not go so well. Quite aside from the fact that I didn't notice Question Five until fifteen minutes before the end of the exam, I seem to have forgotten what to do with exponentials. But at least it's my spare unit, if I do that badly it won't count. That was in the morning - I then spent a few hours drinking tea* in the common room with a large group of modern history people and Poppy, who didn't have any actual exams today, but was in fact the only prefect who had shown up for a meeting about some sort of prefectly duty. She also claimed to have had a dream in which I said "A trio is a trio" - no context, but it made sense at the time. Although not to me, I hasten to add. Beth had potato bread, which is a bizarre idea containing chunks of potato (that people kept stealing, much to her chagrin**).

The weather is muggy. The whole sky is a uniform bluish-gray. I stepped outside and it took me a minute or two to find the sun behind the cloud cover. It was still too bright to look at, but no longer round - the haze had rendered it a blur. Of course what this means is that there is more heat getting in than out, and thus walking through the air is like walking through molasses. Twenty one people died in a flood of molasses in 1919, in Boston, USA. For some reason nobody took it as a sign of the approaching rapture. I mean, isn't there supposed to be a land of milk and honey waiting around somewhere for the believers? I'd take milk and sugar-cane syrup any day.

It will rain.

*This proved an unwise idea, considering the heat. I had to eat some ice afterwards. Mmm, ice.
**Why is chagrin such a cool word? Chagrin. chagrinchagrinchagrin.

My mental image is of representatives from the distillery visiting the site and saying something along the lines of "but why is the molasses gone?"

I'd imagine Jack Sparrow would be much mellower about the missing rum if he knew it was busy flooding a city...

Melissa, are you drunk?

Yes, it was taken in Autumn. It was also taken in Orange, not that we get leaves like that much anywhere else. And it's not your fault you can't recognise it, I did abstract things to it in photoshop.
