Whew, quite a day. 6 hours of class, friends going through all sorts of conflicts and adversity (in some cases with other friends), and a big pile of work for me to do.

The classes are over. The work's going to be a bitch as I've got a whole bunch of little things to do. Tomorrow, I have to read almost an entire novel, write a poem, go to class and go to a guest speaker thing. That still leaves other readings and two assignments (not large but still) which are due on Friday. Going to be a busy week of work.

The stuff that's going on with my friends is the worst of the developments of the day though. Unlike the work, there's not really a whole bunch I can do about it. It's stuff that they have to work out themselves. I think some of it may have been ironed out today but who knows what'll happen in the days to come. Ideally, everything will work out. I'm keeping my fingers crossed anyway.

Banned Word of the Day didn't go so well today. I made numerous slip-ups within the first hour or two of being awake. For some reason, nobody else seemed to notice these slips but I did. Seeing as Tuesday's going to be a really busy day, I think I'll go with an easy word. That word is...

Banned Word of the Day: starter

A word I probably only use a couple times a week. Should be a no-brainer really. Now watch as I proceed to say it several dozen times over the course of the next 24 hours...
