I found a very good place today, after realising that there was no point my being irritated that I hadn't found time for a walk when I could go right then. Actually, I found two very good places, but the second one has more of my love. I thought I couldn't adore the allotments any more...

Anyway, it inspired poetry. And, for the first time, poetry that I didn't just sit down and write all at once. Poetry that requires work. And is very Romantic poetry inspired, since that is what I was doing almost immediately prior to going for a walk. I started dissecting it as I made my way back, which shows I'm still in poetry inspection mode. I currently have stanzas 1, 2, 4, and what's probably going to be 6. For once I don't want to force myself to make up the rest immediately, because that's usually a sure sign I'll make a mess of it.

Anyway, yay walk. And tomorrow I shall actually have to start working on this essay, since it's due in next Tuesday, and I have an hour's tutorial, a high probability of a full working day and the need to go shopping before then.

I'm having hissy fits at my accounts. Since the loans gone in I keep getting money out and it's just disappearing. I've done terribly at keeping track of where I'm spending it. Things like the cinema trip, buying milk, laundry, etc, I just forget to add. Hopefully, they'll be taking the loan money away soon, which ought to help, and I've been doing random maths all evening. I keep forgetting to write down what each number is, though, so it's reaching the point where I'm adding and subtracting complete nonsense. I think I've got it sorted, but there's this nasty -150 tacked on the end of the equations, to make it balance.

I've never wanted money to be taken away so much. Once it's gone I can jiggeryrig my nonsense numbers to look all nice and in the red again and actually work out whether I can afford to buy WK and Cowboy Bebop and so on. I also need to work out how much money I need to save to pay the rent over the summer, as a minimum.
