Went to my first lectures of the term today.
Medieval and Renaissance History - fun topic - the fall of Constantinople. The writer in me got distracted by the plight of the 4th Crusaders - far from home, abandoned by the Church and the Pope, abandoned by the emperor they had been supporting, forced to attack the city they had been defending up until then or starve...at which point I realized I was five minutes behind in my notes...
Discovered I have an Archaeology Practical tomorrow. Really must get enough sleep so will be awake for the two hours it requires.
Islamic History: Finally we have a lecturer who knows what he's talking about, even if it is all in a slow monotone that makes you want to throw a pen at him. Was distracted yet again by my as yet undeveloped idea to write a fic about the wizards who lived in the Islamic empire. Think I will have to file this under my 'no time to write' file along with my other idea for a fic about wizards in China (never did decide which dynasty). Should really get around to issuing a historical fic challenge. There just aren't enough of them...Anybody interested?
I'll be spending the rest of the day researching medieval kings for an essay, but will probably be distracted by fanfic at some point...
