God I haven't posted in so long. It's nearly April now! Dissertation is not going brilliantly, but Modern American Fiction is going pretty darn swell. Got a 68 on my last essay, was proper pleased with it. Sad thing is that it counts for nothing, but hopefully it means I'm doing something pretty good and I can do my assessed essay just as well. I'm planning on writing it on The portrayal of mental illness in The Bell Jar & Tender Is The Night. Awesome, y/y?
I will certainly miss studying Literature next year. I have been volunteering in the English department of a local school though to get some experience. Some of the kids are terrible! and so cheeky. One of them kept asking how old I was, what my plans were for tonight, etc. That's the year 11s though. The year 7s on the other hand are so so cute! Bless them. One of them wrote in their leaflet about the globe theatre 'come and visit the gob theater, 1 penis for entry and 3 penis for entry and a cheer'. I hope you can all decipher that....
Last Friday it was my grandad's 85th birthday, so we had a little tea party for him. I made this delicious mocha cake from rachel allen bake, and scones of course. And also brownies and shortbreads. There was way too much! I'm currently applying for a PGCE, going to send an application off for an internship at The Reader magazine, doing my dissertation and baking cakes of course. I can't wait to just graduate and finish everything, but on the other hand I am scared about not being in education! Oh well...
