Night on the town
I've had the last few days off--really off--and it's been great. Aside from the occasional lecture, I've been productively lounging. Taking the break off may have been the right choice, though I won't say no to a day or two in Glasgow/Stirling in the middle to see Robbie etc.
Went to Dundee (the nearest "big city" to St Andrews) tonight with theatre people to see a friend in a show (The Producers). It was a good production, if amateur, and a good night--went for dinner first and drinks after--more expensive than the average night, but varied the pace a bit.
Academics-wise have been reading up on Kant, who we just started in Modern, though I'm a bit behind on Hume and should give him another look-over as well. Have got an essays, a presentation, and a reflection on an assignment due in when I get back, so should start those. Also have 'Hecuba' on as soon as we get back, so that'll be a busy week. As far as watching that online, we're gonna see if we can use this: http://www.ustream.tv/ . Have been raiding the dump for broken tech stuff and that's been going well. Also thinking about doing cartoon art (of the oh-so-serious 'graphic novel' variety) and how to incorporate pictures into stories and words into moving (essentially cinematic) images, so that's been most of my doodles on notes, if no real serious projects.
Mostly just relaxing, which is necessary.

ustream.tv seems too good to be true, but it looks legit. That would be pretty cool if it works! You could do this for all your shows.
