3730 / 10000Okay, so I'm now completely focused on my dissertation... sort of. Considering I really wanted to have my first draft finished by yesterday, the above is really rather dire. However, considering the actual grim reality of my situation the above is not too bad! This thing is in next Tuesday, and as Monday is a bank holiday, that probably ( Read more... )

Right! I have achieved almost nothing today, apart from a prawn & avocado salad wrap which, while awesome, will not help me towards my degree! So, it's list time. If I'm faced with a list of outstanding things to do in my journal maybe it will discourage me from endlessly clicking between facebook, twitter and eljay!

Oh good grief, I think I might be close to having an actual mental breakdown of some description in the next few weeks. I have so very much work to do and so little time to do it in, which is a massive problem when you're someone who maybe tips towards the 'lazy' end of the scales. My other problem is how good I am at pretending that things do not ( Read more... )

Soooooo, approximately 2000 years ago ailcia interviewed me and I never got around to popping up my answers. How rude of me! So, here we are, 2 months later and no better thought out for all that extra time ( Read more... )

Just watched myself some QI on the genius that is the iplayer. I pretty much get all televisual entertainment through that nifty little thing at the moment. This means I have been watching lots of random stuff that I ordinarily wouldn't, my favourite of which has to currently be Oz and James Drink to Britain in which Oz Clarke and James May travel ( Read more... )

Just saw this in ailcia's journal:

When you see this, post your favourite poem in your journal...

Oooh, this is really hard! Most of the poems I love are longer than long things, so I don't think I'll post them up here, just give you ( some small tasters! )

What's that Self? 1000 more words of this essay to write and you've decided it's the perfect time to redesign your journal, and organise your tags? Oh dear, sometimes you really are too transparent. Yesterday I decided to hoover rather than write. The silly thing is, I'm actually really enjoying this essay. It's one of the ones I was supposed to ( Read more... )

I have just discovered that the essay I thought I had to give in tomorrow doesn't have to be in til the end of the week! WOOT! So, obviously I'm using this extra time to do further research and polish my essay... right after I look up loads of trailers! And I'm not talking Oscar-bait films here, oh no, this is all about the trash!

Obsessed looks ( Read more... )

Oh dear. I've gone and done it again and left an essay to almost the last possible minute. As it was only a 1500 worder I convinced myself it was going to be easy peasy and now I've sat down to write it I've realised, not so much! I have to textually analyse anything in the whole wild world within the context of what we've learnt so far in my Love ( Read more... )
