Self-Improvement Splooge

[rebness]

Today was Self-Improvement Day. This is one of those days I have, every few months, whereby I become alarmed at my schedule revolving around work, pub and internet, realise that there are a thousand things I want to do before I'm thirty, so I'd better make a head start. (Six years is certainly not long enough for my lazy arse.)

I tackled five things today, which was good going.

1. Exercise
Fifteen minutes counts, right?

2. Latin
I bought a funky 1800s Latin dictionary and grammar book previously owned by some girl with elegant script writing and, then in 1932, some guy at Oxford. I thought it suitable for my pretentious pre-30 needs and learned myself some more Latin today. Eventus stultorum magister! (Er, quite.)

3. Finish that sekrit non-VC fic
Not quite accomplished, but I wrote a page or so.

4. Write more novel
I filled in the name of a battlefield and added some locations?

5 Get brother to teach me some more Italian
That's to come. If I make an ANGRY post later, it'll be because he'll be telling me about how I'm not getting the pronunciation down properly, and I'll be instead thinking of a beer.
