I was initially about to fill up a meme for my obligatory year-end post, but somewhere between What was your favourite book in 2009? and What was your worst moment in 2009? I realised it was never going to get posted if I kept changing my answers. So here, have a retrospective ramble instead.

Clearly, it is only customary that every year must end in ( Read more... )

So the past couple of days have been spent in mourning for the end of what are apparently the hardest exams I will ever have to sit for. On Friday I got home at 9pm and proceeded to be a total wreck, bawling about missing school and studying while my sister - who is a teacher - tried her hardest to cheer me up, and called me pathetic. Yes, I am a ( Read more... )

So, weekend before the prelims officially begin. I feel compelled to write something here before the inevitable plunge into exams, more exams, and then that scary, wonderful, vast space of empty time ( Read more... )

This week has been... curious. There have been things to admit and things to tuck away, work to do and people to see. I have been assured, but also afraid. Best of all I like that I have been spending time with my groupmates, never mind that there is so much left to do it is almost paralysing.

Halfway into the year I can only say that it's been so many kinds of indescribable, and that although sometimes I wished I were more, I think I quite like my life after all, curious at it is. Most of all I like the conversations I manage to have, and the letters I manage to write. Maybe I even like that I'm finding a funny sort of courage in not ( Read more... )

Top of the list of things I hate: Being ill.

This year, Dramafest and TSD have taught me that there is something invigorating about the occasional extremely-late-nighter. Twelve hours after I will always think myself foolish for even entertaining these thoughts, but there's something about surviving the 1am desperate sleepiness to emerge more productive than ever, about your body holding up ( Read more... )
