It's pretty rare that the exeter_uni community gets any posts, but there was one today that caught my interest. It's for an annual convention held by the Sci-fi Society, and the person who made the post linked to the convention's Wikipedia page, and I clicked the link on a whim, to discover that it must have been fairly large at one point, judging by the ( Read more... )

I have finished the final essay of my degree. I'm handing it in tomorrow afternoon and then having lunch on campus with seori. I feel blank. I'm slightly surprised by that, but I suppose I shouldn't be. Everything lately has been feeling a little flat. I don't really know what I was expecting. It'll take a few days to relax, especially since at the ( Read more... )

Handed in my dissertation today. After months of research, weeks of intensive writing and editing and several evenings verging on panic, this morning I walked up to campus and handed it in. It looked so good once I'd got it bound. I meant to take my camera with me to take a picture before I submitted it, but I forgot. It's not my last piece of work ( Read more... )

I feel like an LJ failure at the moment, but I have managed to comment on a few recent posts, at least. I should, in fact, be editing my dissertation right now, but I've decided to spare a few minutes to actually update, since it's been days (and that's quite unusual for me). It's not so much that I haven't had the time, but more that every time I ( Read more... )

My last post about cats reminded me of a video I watched with some friends a week or so ago. It's called An Engineer's Guide to Cats, and is worth watching for the cat yodeling section even if you have next to no interest in the domesticated feline. I found it not only amusing but also charming, since it's evident that the two men in the video ( Read more... )

I tried to catch up with my flist this evening, but I'm running out of time, so apologies for all the posts I have missed. Just give me a couple of weeks, and I'll have enough time to keep up with everything online again. If I've missed anything important, let me know ( Read more... )

Such a wonderfully sunny day today, I really can't express how little I wanted to spend it shut inside my room working on my dissertation. I'll admit to walking as slowly as possible on the way home from campus this afternoon. Still, a lot of progress has been made today. I finished working a couple of minutes ago, and expected to feel more ( Read more... )
