I'm going through the motions to apply for study abroad next year but thanks to the random beurocratic tendencies in this country i'm going to have to go through about seven different people to get anything done. In the meantime, I'm trying to revive my online presence in communities I used to be a part of and keep up with my reading and keep up ( Read more... )

I've changed from last year. For once I can actually feel it. Different so different. Of course, reminescence comes with a birthday. Especially the big 20. So old. Feel ancient, the first time I've ever noticed the changes really. At least I've fallen in love with The South, gotten over the stereotypes that have some justification and have ( Read more... )

Last night my laptop developed what may be a fatal error. The BIOS won't initiate so the operating system refuses to load and it's pretty much dead in the water. I know I'll get yelled at and blamed for it even though there was nothing I could do to fix it. I tried everything and all the tests came back positive but obviously something is wrong ( Read more... )

Exams have finally finished. I'm fairly sure I passed at least half so bully for me. Since I really won't get to see mumsie this summer or next year, she's coming out here and then we're going to Edinburgh. I think it'll be pretty fun except it would DEFINATELY be more fun going with people my own age because then I wouldn't feel awkward wanting ( Read more... )

So, two down...two to go. Kind of annoyed that only two of my topics came up...AGAIN! They've come up every single year since 1998, but suddenly, they aren't cool anymore or something. BAH! Doesn't matter for Britain. I can bluff my way through that one for stuff I don't know. Ireland went well. I'm 98% sure I passed and may even have done ( Read more... )

I now fully appreciate all the eruopeans who actually make it the whole way through college. I will hug any one of them that I see from now on. Next exam is in 27 hours. Study session tonight involving chinese food, a bottle of red wine and four of us laughing rahter than actually studying. At this point, we already all have to come back for ( Read more... )

TO those who didn't quite understand...That was #1...of 4... Basically unless I start feeling better very soon, I'll have to resit in Septmeber, I will drag my family name through shit and mud, and will pretty well never be able to lvie with myself and will most likely drop out and live on the street because my parents have already said that they ( Read more... )

I managed to sit through my entire exam and the 1.5 hour walk back to Halls. I think I did alright. Probably enough to pass, though I really don't know what they're looking for in terms of detail or anything. I managed to get six hours sleep this afternoon and I'm hoping to get more tonight. I will be proud of whatever grade I get for this exam ( Read more... )

I didn't sleep last night and I feel like I'm going to vomit. I haven't slept in two days now and I know I can pass if I just can get to answer all the questions. Even if I could just use bullet points to state facts and use only a little discussion I could probably pass, but I'm afraid that I'll fall asleep right in the middle or throw up and ( Read more... )

In less than 11 hours, I'll be taking my first exam. I think I'll do ok. I hope I do ok. I'm not really worried anymore though. I'm kind of feeling the deathly calm thing. And tired. That one's there too. It's almost like I've forgotten that I have the exams. I'd better get over this before Tuesday (when I start studying for my other three ( Read more... )
