icepixieEnnui, thy name is me. I have no desire to do anything today, much less work on my Satire essay. (This may have something to do with the depressing weather. Exeter has developed the capability to be both warm--well, "warm" in the sense of "not exactly freezing"--and clammy at the same time, not to mention completely clouded over. It's amazing.) I should be excited about this essay. It's Serious Academic Work on Wonderfalls and Alice in Wonderland, and what's not to love about that?

I desperately need a haircut. It's touching my shoulders, which it hasn't done since I was seventeen. It's gotten to that stage where it's all limp and greasy except for a few hours right after I shower. It's falling out in, well, not clumps, but in alarming amounts. The split ends are out of control. It's kind of neat to be able to put it up in a ponytail and have almost all of it go in, but Chandra, at some point this week, I must set up a time to have you chop of some of this mess.

My trip to Wales (Monmouth, Symond's Yat, Tintern Abbey) looks less and less likely, as the one hostel I found in the area (possibly the one hostel in all of southern Wales, or at least the only one within walking distance of a train station or bus stop) seems disinclined to return my e-mail about booking a bed. I might try calling them, but the more I think about it, the more I think I might rather spend those three days catching up on my day trips. I still need to go back to the cute little town of Topsham and have a cute little cream tea and see if the guy at the cute not-so-little used bookstore will take some of these 40-odd tomes I got for classes off my hands. And we still haven't gotten to the miniature pony center or the otter & butterfly sanctuary on Dartmoor. Plus there's the crazy spinster house in Exmouth that I want to see (and possibly copy when i get to the crazy spinster stage myself). And Stonehenge or Avebury would make good day trips.
Still doing the Kent trip at the beginning of next month and the Loch Lomond/Loch Katrine/Alnwick Treehouse Thingy towards the middle. Hey,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vallentine, are train tickets from Stirling to Edinburgh cheap if you buy them the day of? National Rail says they're £3.75 for singles to and from if I buy them online, and it would be easier just to buy them when I get there, 'cause I'm not exactly certain what time I'll be going in either direction.
The Lake District idea died an ignominious death with Whitney bowed out and I decided I wasn't all that interested. Maybe when I'm older and richer and can come back here and rent a car. (Trying to organize June via public transportation has been especially difficult, moreso than any other trips I've planned. Argh.) There might be punting in Oxford with Certain People before I fly home. We will do our level best to emulate Three Men in a Boat, I'm sure.
