Last-minute panic

I didn't say it was a good excuse!

Note also my use of the phrase 'free internet time' - this does not translate as 'free time to go on the internet', but rather: 'free time on the internet after I've done everything I normally do - check email, the Discworld message boards I frequent, alt.fan.pratchett, all the blogs I read...'. This results in me spending quite a lot of time not doing homework, particularly in the case of my physics coursework which I word-processed - I spent an astounding amount of time yesterday discovering new weblogs, fiddling around on the internet, not doing much. And if I'd started doing something substantial on the net, such as (to take a purely random example) writing another blog update, I'd have felt guilty for not doing physics. Strange how flexible my conscience seems to be :)

However, I've succumbed now, I still haven't finished my physics, and I really should have allowed at least three days to complete it, rather than just two. I must sort out my time organisation skills, they seem to be somewhat lacking in...existence.

Anyway, now onto the main news of the day, which is the same as the main news of the day for most people in the south-east of England - snow![1]. Yesterday when I woke up there was a light dusting of snow over the ground, today it snowed all day, non-stop - we're up to about 1-2 inches of snow at the moment. Everything looks really beautiful - from inside the house, obviously :). I would take a picture with my dad's digital camera and post it up here, but he's in Houston at the moment and he took it with him. Grr.

Updates - my comments system is now working, apparently, on all computers but mine. Everyone else can see the 'Comment on this' link, but I can't, on Opera or using IE6. Hopefully I'll be able to see the link from school tomorrow. I can't think what it is on my system that's vanishing the link for me - I definitely have JavaScript enabled, so it's not that.

Christmas is... well, I was going to say that Christmas is now well and truly over, but now with all the snow everywhere it really doesn't feel like it. It gives me an excuse to keep playing Christmas songs, anyway! Just the one, actually - Coldplay's cover of Merry Little Christmas[2] which I only discovered about ten days or so ago (thanks Jeremy!). And now there's about 325 days until I can play it again. :(

That's all for now - there may be more later when I'm trying to avoid my physics again.
