w00t! w00t!
Wow. That was one hell of a busy weekend. NaNo is now completed; I'm 80,000 words through the novel, which means I finished NaNo about 54,000 words through. I'm not stopping now I've gotten into the end rush, though; I'm on page 400, which means that things start to get intense some time about now. Rhys and Cathany are back together again, after Rhys rescues her from the hands of her evil father, King Imrasil. The Irostite Revolution is also in full swing, complete with the storming of Royal Square and the King's palace, and rioting in the streets. I like it! It's amazing how much I'm borrowing from the LOAF trilogy here, but it doesn't matter; Life of a Falcon is dead, so as far as I'm concerned I can use it as a kind of scrap metal mine for ideas.
Revision for Organic Chemistry is pretty much done. The exam is in two hours, so I think I've got enough time for some last-minute cramming over break before I go to meet my destiny. I hope it won't be as hard as it looks ... then again, the polypeptide link always stumps me. Let's hope I remember it in two hours time.
What else fun happened this weekend? Oh, yes. The rain. After skulking in the shadow of late autumn, winter has finally decided to come and show us what it can do. Three months of beautiful, dry weather, then this. It has now rained solidly for no less than four days. Dog walking in the forest is really fun in this weather, especially with the bitter northerly wind driving the rain in your face, right through your waterproof coat, and soaking into your skin. I came back from walking Amber yesterday unable to feel my face, legs or fingers, covered in mud, and half-dead. Amber looked like something out of a horror movie. That said ... I like this weather. It kind of reminds me of the good ol' days in Grimwith up north.
And (you've guessed it) another prisoner has escaped from Hollesley Bay! That makes it two in the last week! Apparently, the police found three or four of them in the pub in Hollesley village, drinking beer with their friends. It defies belief ...
