Done.

So, it's 5am and I'm getting into the last essay of the year. I'm sensing that it could be pretty sexy, mainly because I'm already thinking that I could be struggling with a mere 2500 words. For once, I mean "struggling" as in "Argh! Not enough words ( Read more... )

My first attempt at writing an essay yesterday started well, but 1500 words in it just.. died. There was nothing else to write. What I had was an excellent exam question but a rubbish formative essay. So it was time to start again. Changing question to something that was far more open was both a blessing and a curse. It became clear why most people ( Read more... )

Guess who has nowhere to live next year?

Yes, it's happened again. Once more I have forgotten to send the form off (when it all could have been done online! Why didn't I notice this earlier?!) and once more it appears that most of Manchester is rapidly filling up. Am I stressed? Just a little bit.

Kath just text me saying how excited she was to be going to Take That's reunion gig tonight in Manchester. That explains why the traffic outside has been bumper-to-bumper and not moving since about 5pm.

I like Manchester in the morning. It's the only time that it's quiet. In a way it seems like the whole city is hung-over. It's grey today and outside everything smells damp and there are birds picking over the piles of rubbish left from the night before. Still, I like it.

So, I had iTunes on random and this came on. It's been a while since I've heard it and I'd forgotten how much I like the lyrics.

So the BBQ turned into a bit of a damp squib in the end. Once more the Manchester weather had the last laugh, ruining the day and ruining Chris' well laid plans. Chris is going to be head of the RA next year, and as far as I can tell, he's the ideal person for the job. In other words - he's an arse.

Chris has been living in Weston Hall for ( Read more... )

Note to world: Sadly I seem to be all better now. Come Sunday (tomorrow!) I shall be ready to go and consume as much free alcohol as I can get my hands on at the summer BBQ.

For added fun - I was amazingly, disgustingly, sick this morning. Eyes are a little better after getting some stuff from Boots at least.
