studying, accents, flapjacks

[deralte]

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 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. 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.

Well, I notice that now that I've been in New Hampshire for three years, I'm really picking up that accent. I think it's all a result of immersion in that particular speaking style. Likely you just needed to be around it long enough to unconciously start prefering that particular speech syntax.

It'll be interesting to see what happens when I move back to America for awhile.
