Today I learned that my RIGHT show leaks more than my LEFT shoe.
I learned this when, upon arriving at an English lesson, on the other site, in the rain... my right foot went SQUELCH when I put it down.Oh, and my foot was soaked...

Not only do my shoes leak, but, when they get wet, they stain both my tights and my feet black. >_< EWWW.

And also... I was just watching QI, yes? And I swear they credited the guests as 'Bantermeisters'. O_o : D Yeah.

I have been invited to someone's eighteenth birthday party tomorrow night. Which is... yeah. Obviously nice, but I don't know them that well... and I'm not good at parties. >_> But everyone else is going, and I'm a sucker for peer pressure.

The good news is that my new shoes have almost passed into a rather nice phase when they are lose enough not to be painful, but tight enough that they don't fall off. My old shoes came off quite often. Sometimes I would accidentally tred on the back. This was bad. It hurt. A lot.

The bad news is that I'm supposed to be writing an essay on Greek Sculpture. More precisely, Greek Architectural Sculpture. More precisely still, Archaic Greek Architectural Sculpture. In this context, 'archaic' means 'kind of crappy and dull'. This is an example of what I will have to write about.
On the plus side, though, it shouldn't be long till I will get to study something more like this. : D

Another piece of bad news is that I am very, very hungry. I may eat the mousemat that's in here (library computer room). I'm not even using it (they tend to slide around a lot).

Problem: My new shoes are too tight and cut into my heels.

Solution: Put plasters on my heels.

Problem: I am allergic to some plasters.

Solution: ...
                OH GOD THE ITCHING MAKE IT STOP!

Actually (and thankfully) it's a lot better today. These plasters have not brought me out in a rash, as some do.


In other news, someone tried to steal a baby outside my school yesterday... srsly. I arrived in the common room (which overlooks the road) and everyone was crowding around the windows, because someone had snatched a baby. We (well, some people from my classics group, with very little input from me) spent a while trying to work out if this was true or not. There was a whole crowd of people, two teachers (one of whom seemed to be standing around like  an idiot), and there was indeed an empty pushchair... turns out someone was holding the baby. We still weren't quite sure if what we'd heard was true or not until the police showed up and drove off with the baby.

My classics teacher - who was one of the teachers I just mentioned - told us that the mother, who was very young, had been out with the baby when two women, who were actually the baby's paternal grandmother, and her sister, came and tried to take the baby.  Which resulted in some kind of fighting (I'm not sure if it was verbal or physical, to be honest), and then some students intervened and took the baby, who was screaming by this time.  Then my classics teacher, who said she'd only been outside because she was buying a snack, arrived, and someone (either her or someone in one of the school offices) called the police.

Anyway, that was probably the most exciting thing that will happen at my school all year.

I have also been writing a story about a vampire who angsts about being a vampire and falls in love with a human. Hopefully it isn't as bad as it sounds. >_>  He's also rather geeky and socially awkward.
