Forgotten English Word of the Day: churchyard-cough.

"A bad, chronic cough." -- Michael Traynor's The English Dialect of Donegal, 1953

"[One] that will terminate in death." -- B. E.'s Dictionary of the Canting Crew, 1699

Now, I'm not saying I'm dying or even more than slightly sick, but isn't it funny that I wake up with a persistent cough on the day when *that* happens to be the word of the day? I think it's funny.

Finally got my presentation out of the way in Lit Pix. Go team me. Y'know, I feel nervous before hand and then I get up there and I'm not nervous, but I can't stop shaking. And then I get nervous someone will notice. Hmm. Dr. Cumberland said it was a good presentation when class was over, though. I told her I had been nervous. She said she didn't notice. That's the second time a professor has told me that after doing a presentation. Do I not project nerves? Or are they just being overly nice? Hmm.

I ordered myself an MP3 player on Amazon.com today. It's purple. And out of stock. But it should be in and sent by the 14th, so yea.

New moodtheme by amandajane5. It's Clex, obviously. Because I needed a bit of a change and I'm allowed and they're pretty. And right now I don't even want to think about last night's episode or this season of Smallville at all. I'm going to have to start watching season one again just to make up for it all.

YAY for postage! It makes me happy to have a lively friends page. It's nice to see a familiar face. Or, a familiar person behind a familiar face, as it were. I adore you!
