Reader, take note of my location. I have ESCAPED FROM ESSEX! About 2 weeks ago I had an interview for a job at the deaf school here. I didn't get the job but they said they really liked me and think I have a lot of potential so they want to take me on a voluntary basis. I came down on Thursday evening and am living with my friend Kat and her ( Read more... )

Whoopsie, I've not read my flist for at least a week...

What to report? Haven't got anything particularly eventful occur - still at the cat sanctuary (nobody wants to employ me, and much as I love the sanctuary, it doesn't bring in any money), no longer fostering Brian and am now fostering two 5-month-old kittens. We don't know their real names so ( Read more... )

I have two kittens! OK, it's temporary, because they're my fosterees (I'm officially a feline foster mum now, as a bigger role with the sanctuary than before). I've got them for 3 weeks (or longer, depending on court stuff). They're 5 months old; I think they're siblings. The girl is black and we're calling her Mary (don't know their real names) ( Read more... )

Am currently a little shaky after being blasted out of my chair a few minutes ago. Because I normally have a 10am lecture on Mondays, I forget that the fire alarm is tested Mondays at about 10am. And does it have to go on for so long? It goes on and on and then you start wondering if maybe it'snot a test and that maybe there really is a fire. But ( Read more... )

Essay finished at 9.30am. *breathes huge sigh of relief* It's a load of absolute rubbish, and the word count is only 1,843, but it's within the limit. As long as I get 40% I'll be happy. It's now been printed off and handed in.

*SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
Been out to Polsloe Bridge today with Trishy and

Apologies for lack of updates (a week witout an update is a loooooong time for me), but life has rather taken over me. Had an essay due in on Friday (most of which got written at TolkSoc on Wednesday evening, incidentally!) I don't think it's a particularly good one, but as long as it passed with at least 50% I'll be happy. Though my new seminar ( Read more... )

Should really be doing essay, but am getting distracted by Internet... (No, the old laptop has not connected; I'm using the other one specifically to look on the Internet for directions to St. James' church for tomorrow morning, but there's a minor conflict between Google Maps and my A to Z of Exeter; not huge - the A-Z shows it being right on the ( Read more... )

*huge sigh of relief*

Remember my complaint about the essay deadline being on Friday and the whole seminar-time thing? The English department have seen sense and extended the deadline till Monday so that those people (myself included) who don't have the seminar till Friday at 2pm are actually able to get something out of it. THANK YOU!!!

Also, new ( Read more... )

...Prayer meeting at 8am (so in less than 8 hours) in my room so I really have to be up for then!! But I'm not; the novelty of the laptop actually connecting to the Internet has yet to wear off! Besides which, I just want to get a few things down before I go to bed because they're buzzing round my head somewhat.

Wait, no - that's the CD in the drive ( Read more... )
