studying, accents, flapjacks

I am getting really sick of studying. All my enthusiasm is gone - not that I was that enthusiastic to begin with, but just sitting down to study last night made my eyes droop, so I went to bed early and now feel slightly more awake. *sigh*

To continue the random talk there's been of accents, I thought I should note that [livejournal.com profile] dizziebeth stopped me at the con and asked, "What's happened to your accent?" I stared at her and asked if she'd been reading lj, and she said no. Apparently, over the past few months, my accent took a serious, noticable turn toward British pronounciation. At least half of the words I say are no longer in an American accent. [livejournal.com profile] lucyjin concures. Now you must picture me blinking in bemusement and wondering why it took four years for this to suddenly happen.

In other news, Tesco's flapjacks are awesome. I still wish I could find the raspberry ones I ate in first year, but the uni store isn't stocking them anymore. It's a pity cause they made a great meal.

Perhaps your accent was just stronger than say other regional accents. Crumpets all the way!
