it is presently ten past four in the morning and I have just returned from a rather queer venue possessed of a license to sell alcoholic beverages into the small hours. Overall I had a good night. There were a multitude of people I knew out, well... there were people out that I knew, some of whom I even liked. The music, aside from the Christmas ( Read more... )

I had a dream last night and wanted to share it. So here it is. First off apologies for any of it being confusing and disjointed, as well as it being a dream it is now mostly forgotten ans dreams quickly are when you wake up, so please bare with me and I'll do my best ( Read more... )

Yes that's right, for all you students of Dante's abyssal geography that is Dis. This is just going to be a short note but I got the results and feedback on my dissertation back this week. Unconfirmed until external supervision but I have them nonetheless. I got 7o, and was so happy that I had to record it. A seventy means a first, or for my ( Read more... )

So I finished. On Thursday I had my last exam. It was on Shakespeare's history plays, I did Coriolanus and Titus Andronicus in terms of honour and heroism and did Richard II and Julius Caesar in terms of ambition. It was a mess frankly. I hate exams so much, you know I got half way through and then realised all I could actually remember about ( Read more... )

Normally this sort of this would go straight to my facebook page but I disabled that so I could be less distracted. I saw this on you tube; it's a video appeal from the Queen of Jordan, and I really think everyone should see it.

My head hurts. That's slightly wrong, that makes it sounds like a headache. My mind hurts, like my thoughts are square pegs and my head is a round hole. No comments about round holes thank you. I just can't seem to keep focused enough to get this essay out. I think it's cause there's no fear... which is a terrible way to have to work. I think ( Read more... )

I'm sort of wondering where I am in life right now. Well, I got the results from last semester back and they should put me on track for a 2:1. Assuming that all goes well with this semester and my dis, which at this point I severely doubt it will. But let's get to all that later. RAG is next week, and elections are swiftly approaching, and I no ( Read more... )

Well it’s been bugging me so I’m going to attempt to express it. Union Council and the No Platform debate! The whole thing actually left me angry, shaking with such at some points. Let’s start at the top; the fact that the vote went to a show of hands! There is no morally justifiable reason that a vote on such a contentious issue should have ( Read more... )

Is like the vast and unrelenting night and the shadow of perfume hung quietly on the breeze. I’m really at a it of a loss with myself. I feel I’ve come to an end, within a dark forest as it were, for the straightforward pathway has been lost. I’m expending too much energy, pouring too much out in all directions but producing no effect, as like a ( Read more... )

So that's it. I'm done for the year. Finished with Moby Dick and The Golden Notebook and discourses of modernity. Became very stressed out the last few weeksm, I'm still winding down from it. The large quantities of alcohol I consumed on Friday night may have helped. I'm not sure how much to say t be honest. Maybe I'll try this again when I ( Read more... )
