De Profundis (read on for an explanation)

My exams are finally over, and I was pleasantly surprised to find nice questions on both the Psychology and English Literature papers. I feel confident about getting good results in both subjects. But Maths is still the main concern. I can only hope they'll be lenient on me and that I've done my best. Perhaps Edinburgh will still take me, regardless of my Maths grade, if I can persuade them that it's irrelevant. If I get an A for English my case is even stronger for them letting me in.

Anyway, exams aside. I've forgotten about them already, I just had to backdate a little bit to the beginning of the week. I'm reading Oscar Wilde's personal letter to his lover at the moment. The book is called De Profundis and other writings. I find it quite interesting as it was an actual letter to his lover written when Wilde was in jail, telling his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, how he killed Wilde's imagination with his extravangant and shallow living, and his demand for constant attention. I can imagination that it would be a damning letter to read, as it aims to inform Lord Alfred of the error of his ways, which are not slight in the least. After reading the book, I intend to read The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. And I've got all summer to lessen of the pile of books I want to read.

Today I've been into Newcastle with Paul and his Mam Dorothy for some odds and ends. The Nintendo DS and Nintendogs games will be £114.99, which I'm putting some money towards buying for Lorna. It's her birthday on 4th July, same as Matthew, Paul's brother.

I'm tired; I think I need something to eat.
