Homoeopathy

I'm doing much better today.

It's been a week of itching and tiredness, but today my rash hasn't flared up. Hopefully the homoeopathy has started to knock it off. So many people go 'huh?' when I say I'm using homoeopathic medicine! It's weird that people don't know about it because I've grown up with it. I guess the majority of society is into conventional medicine. If you've never been to a homoeopath, I encourage you to have a consultation at least once in your lifetime, just for the experience! It's awesome, they ask you all sorts of questions about your personality, how you think and react. It's really quite novel. And as an added bonus, you usually get to go home with a cute little bottle of tiny white pills to put under your tongue that are quite likely to heal your suffering. It's also cheap. True homoeopaths don't charge much at all. And it's all very informal. They usually write everything down on paper, rather than tapping away at a keyboard.

So I had a few days off work (well, I still had to do one of my jobs, but that turned out OK).

I thought of this sentence when I was watching TV:

"Surely a thousand words is worth a picture," I said as I handed my short story to the illustrator.

Thought it'd be a good way to start a story, maybe. Speaking of short stories, I've been reading Morris Glietzman's Give Peas A Chance, which is full of cute little short stories. The second story made me cry, and it was only about ten pages long!

I've also finished reading Jane Austen's novel, Northanger Abbey, and Oscar Wilde's play, Lady Windermere's Fan.

I'm studying the Romantic poets at the moment. Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats, Shelley, Byron, etc. Some gorgeous stuff. I particularly like Shelley and Byron's writing styles. Coleridge is so long winded and Keats is so verbose and Wordsworth gets boring. Keep an eye on my diploma blog for more insights into my studies.

I'm seeing my gorgeous Clara tomorrow! YAY!!!!!
