The signifieds butt heads with the signifiers, and we all fall down slack jawed to marvel at words.

I am currently revising. As you can tell from the fact that I am instead writing this blog. Oops. I have been quite good with my revision recently though, been doing at least seven hours a day which is quite amazing for me. To be honest, it's been quite fun - I sit outside tanning and learning, watching my rabbit running around and occasionally telling him off for trying to eat the memorial rose (in memory of his partner of 6 years - rabbits have no respect for the dead).

Did you know that up to about the 1970s the average life expectancy of Native Americans was only 44 years old? Compare that to 67 years for the average American. SEE, I have been revising.

I've started re-reading Pride and Prejudice and have consequently fallen in love with Mr Darcy all over again. Swoon. I can't believe I ever fell out of love with him really, just sort of placed him to one side for a while. Reading the book had made me anticipate watching the TV series again (Haven't even considered the film, looks absolute pants), I cannot wait for Colin Firth looking all sexy in his breeches with his protestations of love. The book is really quite funny, I'd forgotten that too.

Anyway, two weeks today and all this exam nonsense will be over. YAY!
