So, as of mid-way through the the 11am ceremony this morning, I'm a Graduate of the University of Warwick Masters in Writing! \o/ Had a lovely day, slightly dampened by - well - the damp ( Read more... )

This pretty much sums up Right Now for me:

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.

This has been the last week of the last term of my MA. Yes, the course continues until September - but we're all dispersing this weekend. People's leases run out (mine included). We have to go away to our various homes. We've had our last workshop, and said goodbye to campus and #12 buses and the Writers' Room ( Read more... )

That was a lie. I know I have ... interesting (*cough*odd and atrocious*cough*) taste in films, but c'monI'm going to try to be fairly spoiler-free ( ( Read more... )

You know how, at University, you get asked the question, "What are you studying?" I've been asked that by various new people recently. You would not believe the weird looks I get when I reply, "Writing ( Read more... )

Happy 10/10/10.

I couldn't let such an awesome date pass me by without making an LJ post about it. :P

Also, just to confirm: Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated. (My jaw has not yet asploded from grossness and taken my brain with it, no worries. It's unlikely to do that any time soon.) I have had Freshers' Flu, though - and it was ( Read more... )
