I need something to do!

This is terrible. It is my first weekend with no assignments to do and I am already looking for my next project. Can't decide whether to recommence learning Greek, start learning Hebrew or Italian or do some writing. Or something else. Like... building Lord of the Rings (or similar epic saga) out of toothpicks... or vegetables. Now taking suggestions for things to occupy myself with over the next 18 months of no formal study!

I am currently reading my first ever Jane Austen. I have seen Pride and Prejudice and Emma in movie form but have never made it past page 3 of a book. Until now. I am currently in about chapter 20 of Sense and Sensibility. I think I would like to have met Jane Austen. Although we would probably either have got along very well or hated each other.

Other achievements for today have included getting up, sorting through my stationary draw (I threw out 3 pens!) and putting some stuff on a shelf. Oh and having a bath. Yes. I am very busy. But I don't think I would make a very good lady of leisure. I'd had enough of doing nothing by midday.
