Buying a Moleskine

They are undoubtedly the best notebooks available to man. So I'm excited about July which is when it will become useful seeing as it is an 18 month diary running from July 2008 till December 2009.

This was the good part of my day this morning.

The bad part stems from the general fact that I am resident in the library at the moment attempting to cram 8 months of work into one very short 3 week period. This is my own fault and this isn't even my major bugbear.
There are only a limited amount of desks in the basement (which is where I like to study) and they are in high demand. So when I arrived at 9.22 this morning most of the desks were occupied. So I wander down the length of the library to find that one girl had spread her possessions over 6 desks in order to "save" them for her friends. So obviously her stuff was compacted to 5 desks and I sat down. She then came over to tell me (in her whiny whiny voice) that the desk i was now sitting at was taken she got short shrift from me and packed up her things and went. So now here I sit procrastinating in the library and attempting to study. Almost seems worth getting up early just to antagonise some first year.

To Clarify

This is where I live. It is about an hour from Trinity College Dublin where I "study".
The commute is the bane of my existence. I am just too far away to commute with ease but I am close enough that I am un-willing to get a loan to pay for rent etc.

The journey is usually just over an hour but the transport system is not exactly geared as efficiently as I would like it to be, with no late night transport at all from the city centre except on Fridays and Saturdays and a timetable that suits business hours only.(and yes I understand that suits other people, but not me)

So for close on three hours a day (factoring in waiting times and the distance between home and train station) I am plugged into my ipod/reading or writing/ staring out a window.

Why?

College exams are looming and the pressure is supposed to be mounting, but it refuses to. So procrastination is the key. This is my long over-due foray into the world of archiving the silly things I discover, think and experience online for all the world (or nobody) to see.
