So it has been an eventful weekend, I went to Birmingham on Saturday and saw friends, one of which I had not seen for 13 years. Unfortunately I was not really very well while in Birmingham so came home early to sleep. I was quite happy when my friend who I was meant to be helping on Sunday cancelled on me as it was a pre-release weekend for Magic ( Read more... )

I am bonkers, and a poet ( Read more... )

People are playing Croquet outside the computing block, I know this because i have just seen them doing it. As a result I have decided to meet a couple of my friends in the Rampant Lion in 2-3 hours, it is sunny today, even warm when the wind is not blowing... but there is quite strong wind. Joy oh joy, as i am informed of a 4 day bank holiday... ( Read more... )

Yes there was a fire alarm in the library, and no I was not flicking matches at the time (not till I am finished). So there was no fire or smoke for that matter, so seeing as there was no smoke the latter would probably have been predictable. Oh well!! I am surprisingly happy the place did not burn down due to leaving my dissertation notes in the ( Read more... )

So yesterday was a strange day, but I will start before then. I can’t remember what I did on Friday, which by all accounts is probably a bad thing. On Saturday I spent my Christmas money on dvd’s and stuff. It was quite nice not thinking about dissertation although this was mainly due to suffering from a headache, hence me going out and avoiding ( Read more... )

So here I am in the library yet again, this time it seems so much more pleasant (could be the total lack of students), I have been listening to Mendelssohn’s String Symphonies Vol.1 Nos. 1-6 for the duration of dissertation writing and I must say I think I am truly in awe of it. I mean I find it lovely to listen to I suppose, I am not really sure ( Read more... )

What I failed to say earlier (went to bed), this is my semi happy happy face.I mean I met my first deadline, and what is more amazing is that my dissertation tutor has promised to have everything back to me by Thursday at the latest. So yes I am happy happy. Oh and one other thing it feels like summer today here.

I hate to say it, but I think I have become more fascinated by my dissertation; I had a prolonged hatred of it for a while. But now here I am in a situation wondering if in 5 years I can go further into the subject. I think it is interesting because I keep seeing myself in my study, I mean the self esteem issues that have come up when testing other ( Read more... )

It is Sunday, and yes i find myself in the 'evil' place, that I might even one day find myself missing, but highly unlikely. Half the computers today in this unfriendly library are not working, some network problem; this would not normally be a problem but they have closed the only other place on site that tends to open on a Sunday, so i am ( Read more... )

Yesterday I was not really feeling all that well, I think a lot of it was to do with being overly tired, and of course for some reason I seemed totally unable to sleep properly. At least last night helped a bit, on the sleep front anyway.

I went to see Utopia Limited last night, which was being shown by Mugss. It was very good, I felt less tired ( Read more... )
