i actually got into university. with (almost) flying colours.
okay, i exaggerate. i got twenty more ucas points than i needed. but the point is, i got a GRADE more than i needed, and i wasn't even expecting the bare minimal.

i actually got an A in film studies.
not only that, but in each of my exams, i got an A.
i am so shocked i cannot stop the urge ( Read more... )

august second, 2007. time seems to be flying forward faster and faster, but not fast enough. all i want to do is get this uncertainty out of the way. two weeks exactly until results day, which may or may not be a happy day, but will at least allow me to begin making plans for the next year. funny, that. how i, being a student of sorts, think of ( Read more... )

it's only recently that i've found it odd how the majority of men swear point blank that they'd never hit a woman, find the idea despiccable, even. yet most will think nothing of hurting a woman emotionally. i don't mean mental abuse, i mean the common pain of rejection, or being used by a man, betrayal, or being left. the notion of a man ( Read more... )

i do this every so often and then never get around to buying the books. but this time i am determined to, because waterstones kettering is now a place i frequent often and thus somewhere that i manage to spend obscene amounts of money on books i think will be good, but sometimes aren't. recommendations are the best way to find something you enjoy, ( Read more... )

i find myself getting really pissed off with all the people in the paper making themselves out to look such twats by protesting against the smoking ban.

so. the stage adaptation of 'all about my mother' hits london in august, and i'd really like to go.
is anyone else a fan? it's like £40ish.. but then so are most theatre tickets. would anyone like to go with me?

another day, another crap exam.

who wants to leave it all behind and go live in greece for three months?
(or something similar)

perhaps i should explain.
i had a film exam in the am and it went alright, good, even. the first question was a good one and i'd say i did pretty well. you watch though, the law of sod will give me a low mark now. anyway. problem.. i spent too long on it, leaving me with about twenty minutes to write the second essay in. i rushed it; i shouldn't ( Read more... )

failed my fucking exams.
CLEARLY.

goodbye, university.

my evenings are spent at this desk, pen poised above paper as i write out notes, LEARNING, not revising, for my exams. piles of paper covered in various-coloured felt tip bullet points. flicking between myspace and several different revision sites. one exam down, three to go. to put it more realistically, one module down, seven to go. i don't know ( Read more... )
