Day 6: A Budding Relationship with C.S. Lewis

Not the best photograph I've take. But 3 guesses to my my new purchases ;]

            Let it be known that the course of action I decided to take to prevent my foreseeable trouble with focusing is to treat each day as if it’s an 8 hour work day that I am getting paid for. I will get up at 7, leave the house at 8 and work, may it be errands (groceries, going to the OPUS office, borrowing something from the library, etc) or on my essays for my tutorials.

My first essay is due on Friday and a bulk of today was spent in the Central Library (by Westgate) and the OPUS office library looking for books in order to write the essay. I also got my dongle today, which allows me to access the internet from our humble abode. It’s a bit of an inconvenience but I’m glad that we have internet, nonetheless. (I’m not very happy with how it is, economically speaking because it costs £ 15 for 3 GB of surfing, which is roughly 3 hours a day of normal surfing for 30 days, which is when it expires. It’s looking like the free wifi in cafes will be cheaper although it lacks the convenience of the dongle so it’s really a catch 20-20) I was also able to have a decent conversation with my mom via Gchat phone call. I’m glad it worked out free! I can’t use my magic jack because my laptop only had 2 USB ports and the magic jack USB is pretty massive.

I began reading C.S. Lewis today and it looks like he and I are going to have an intimate relationship in the end. I don’t know if that’s going to be good or bad, but I know it’s going to be intimate (hence the books that are only part of my reading list photographed). I have never read Lewis before this so I’m completely getting a crash course on getting to know him. I get to read my essay out loud on Friday and I haven’t started an essay just yet. I need to remind myself that an essay is an attempt and that I really shouldn’t be this hard on myself (especially since I haven’t even began).
