Twenty-one
Nov. 15th, 2005 11:14 amI have somehow managed to become 21 without thinking about it. It's supposed to be a very significant date, but I don't feel any different. At the moment I can't even remember what possibilities have now been opened to me, apart from being able to buy alcohol in America if I ever have any reason to. I suppose that as I've fulfilled the additional requirement of having a licence for over three years, I'm now allowed to teach people to drive.
What I'm not allowed to do is skip the fast approaching PSAC lecture and then write a report on it for Friday. I could actually have done this a lot sooner, but I thought the presentation we were given last month was a dreadful one on which to write anything, so I took the risk of leaving it until this week. The option of catching up is practically non-existent anyway, as when I checked my notes for the first, I found that they started as follows:
I don't actually remember writing any of that, which probably indicates how much attention I paid to the presentation. I'd better go and get some better notes for the second one now.
(Also, I've only just realised how badly written the previous entry was. I think all the essays and reports are taking it out of me, and I'm gradually forgetting how to write, even though Whitney told me last night that I write "very well, for a scientist." Charming.)

"PSAC Thingummy 1 - Something
Write two pages of gibberish (Formative).
This is a report."
