Goddamn. This month has been HARD. I thought that posting something every day would be easy, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Admittedly, i've had a very busy month and it has on times been difficult to actually find the time to sit down and post something, even if it's very little. However, the original challenge I set myself was to write ( Read more... )

What a horrible day. It still doesn't feel real that we're leaving in just 3 hours to go to the airport and go down Mexico way. I've been saddled with an enormous energy-sapping headache today and I feel as though I haven't done half of the stuff that I should have before going away. I've just about packed now, the dog is with my parents who also ( Read more... )

Only 55 hours to go and we'll be in the big metal bird to South America. I'm struggling to plan in advance, which I usually do anyway. I can't visualise a place until I've been there once. Hell, I'm even struggling to motivate myself to pack. All I seem to want to do is sit on my arse. But pack and prepare I must.

I have my books to read. There ( Read more... )

Ganked from silvaa

( Another of those generally pointless questionnaire thingumies )

Thanks to silvaa for the prompt on this one, since my brain dried up and left me staring at a blank screen for five minutes like a zombie, desperate for something to put in print. It's totally silly, but at least I got something down!

I've had such a lovely evening. There's been some wine; some conversation; some web-browsing; but most importantly there's been no essay-writing. I managed to fit in a spurious model drawn in Wordart before I sent off the essays in the post today. i don't think it'll help with the mark, but it made me feel better at the time.

It's late. I'm tired. There are no words from me, other to say that for better or worse marks I've finished both my essays. Six thousand tortuously extracted words committed to paper to be posted recorded delivery tomorrow and close another educational chapter in my life ( Read more... )
