Dang the jumped up thing! It gin me a start!

“I cud do a bit of doughboy, an’ that theer boggabri’ll eat like tater marrer along of the salt meat.”

Huh? I’m getting cold feet about this whole English Major thing. Half a page into the first book on the reading list, and I can’t make any sense of it. Is allers really a word? and ud? what the heck are jimrags? why is there no glossary? (I'm readin The Bush Undertaker by Henry Lawson, i’ yer was a-wunnerin).

It would help if I didn’t have such a piercing headache. I’m doing that whole sugar free thing again. Yes, again. This time it’s gonna last...

But gawd it’s horrible. Gimme a chocolate bar. NOW!

*Deep breath*

Best to keep busy. Busy is good. Romantic Literature tomorrow. Blake, Wordsworth and the like. Hopefully I'll be on time tomorrow - and with a bit of luck I'll dress myself right.
