I'll write a longer, sappier and more pretentious post for my 2011 summary but for now, I shall simply say that I wish all of you a very merry Christmas. I shall never be able to repay you all for everything you've done, especially regarding the whining and pathetic existential crises of confidence that have made up the vast majority of this year's ( Read more... )

Of course you do! Snail-mail is amazing because you can't put stickers on an e-card!

Comments will be screened so please leave your name and address in the comments below and wait patiently by your door for a lovely card with my semi-presentable handwriting and some non-Xmas themed stickers.

Also, completely unrelated to snail-mail and such but I've ( Read more... )

Yep, no matter how pre-occupied one gets with university, extra readings and life in general, there can always be room for TV. Of course, I'll probably still watch most of my shows on my laptop (I'm planning on catching up on Big Love, Mad Men and White Collar) but we do have Sky+ so I can also catch up onn Modern Family and even record AC360, ( Read more... )

I thought I'd take this moment just to wish all my lovely LiveJournal friends a Merry Christmas. All you girls have been incredibly kind, caring, funny, entertaining and just wonderful people and I'm so glad that I got an LJ this year. Thanks to all the lovely people who sent me Christmassy things in the post, I'm overwhelmed by your generosity and ( Read more... )

After a pretty uncomfortable bus ride, lots of bag burn from carrying a huge duffle bag to the bus station and confusion at the park and ride, I eventually got home on Friday! It is so nice to be back in my normal home, with my crazed family and the dog who still hates me. Daryl's stealing my clothes, dad's getting angry at Call of Duty 4 and mum ( Read more... )

Yay I think I did okay on my Gaelic speaking exam. I only froze once and my teacher was really nice about it and simplified the question. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was about 5 minutes of conversation, a small passage to read out and reciting some numbers. I'd been cramming trying to memorise a few cool things to say, like how I ( Read more... )

I got a lovely big parcel today (post on a Sunday? Strange...) from Liz. You are a complete star! It's a gorgeous picture, I love it so much, thank you! And the book as well, can't wait to read it (have to wait until after exams, sadly.)! Thank you a million times, I really love it. *Hugs* It made my day.

Lots of work, lots of panicking and lots of typing. I had an English Literature essay to write on one of five topics which were all a nightmare. I eventually settled on genre and chose The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. It's a cool little ghost story and relatively easy to write about because it's so deliberately ambiguous. I did it all ( Read more... )
