So. I've finished my degree. Results in two weeks exactly. I'm fairly confident I've got a 2.1, which means I'm off to York to do my MA Philosophy. Excellent.

What is less excellent is that I don't think I'll be coming back to Derby afterwards. The city is dying, for want of a better term. I spent most of this week in London, and obviously the ( Read more... )

It's been a fair few months since I've written on here, hasn't it? How time flies. Time that I feel that I am both wasting and running out of. Ho hum.It scares me; in a month - less than thirty days, in fact - I'll have finished my undergraduate degree, and it doesn't feel like anything about me has really changed. Have I grown? Have I matured? Has ( Read more... )

Well.

I haven't felt like this since... well, since last winter, in fact.

I do so enjoy this season, and feeling like this.

And no matter how sarcastic that might sound, I do mean it. It feels good to be alive, and not in the half-life that I normally reside.

Time is creeping ever onward. It was not so long ago that I felt I had so much of it. And now I don't feel like that. Years are flying by in what subjectively feels like months. It practically feels like yesterday that I first arrived, bright eyed and relatively innocent, to the world of university ( Read more... )

Been a while since I've updated this. It's not like I've been overtly busy or anything, more like nothing of huge note has happened to me. This summer has been very... subdued. Whilst that's technically what I wanted before the hectic few months that my third year of uni is going to be, it's also made me wish for some kind of action ( Read more... )

It's very easy for me to forget that I've actually got three groups of friends. It sounds bad, but I tend to lose track of the first group (from my first secondary school). I'm hoping to rectify that this summer, and catch up with most of them. Uni's kind of shrunk my view of the country, and thus it'll be easier for me to make the trip to the ( Read more... )

Went paintballing yesterday. I managed to get shot directly on my penis.

So success all round, really.

And I have an exam tomorrow. At 9.30 in the morning. That I don't think I'm properly ready for.

This is going to be one of those weeks...

Christ, haven't updated this in a while. Mainly because I've been busy as hell. In between multiple deadlines, organising stuff for the philosophy society, accomodation, and attempting to maintain a social life, I've really had little time for other stuff. Updating this counts as 'other stuff', by the way ( Read more... )

What the hell is up with me? Seriously, this whole week it's been like... every other night I just don't sleep. At all. Not even slightly tired. I've actually managed to get a 48 hour day. Fuck that shit ( Read more... )

Bloody hell have I had a rough week. Since I'm planning on working like a dog this term, that's probably going to be a common theme for the next 8 weeks or so. Fun times ahead ( Read more... )
