Wk 12 lit entry
"Look up at the sky. Ask yourselves: has the sheep eaten the flower or not? And you will see how everything changes..." - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le Petit Prince.
Well, the first semester at uni is coming to an end and I must say that it wasn't like anything I expected it to be. Actually, I never had any expectations to begin with, so what the hey. For my last uni related LJ entry, I'll just go through what I liked and disliked about this semester (I'll mainly be referring to Literature):
(gah, I wanted to use a table but I don't know how to use it, lol).
so i herd u liek mudkips LIKES
Can't wait for the holidays yeahhh! Aaaaand semester two!

- The Internet! :3 self explanatory (lame)
- Expanding on my analytical and creative writing, it was/is really fun. The exposure of our works on the Internet for other people (our class) to critique made me appreciate writing even more; it didn't seem like a chore but a hobby. My confidence in writing has increased dramatically throughout this course and I've truly enjoyed reading the works of the people in my class.
- The range of texts we went through in class; annotating in our text books was blasphemous at first, though. Too bad I hardly wrote anything original apart from obscure pop/movie/television/music/historical/geographical references. Or the dead cat I saw when I was four or five (unfortunately I am being serious). All in all, I now have some history with my text book :D
- Keeping a common place book made me appreciate life even more, especially when walking to the train station at 6.30am on Wednesdays. I certainly don't live in the flashiest or environmentally beautiful town, but I've come to appreciate and take notice of the most little of things (...I did this before I even had a common place book, although writing what I saw in a book is more worthwhile and cheers me up whenever times are bad). 'Twas great :D
- People :) Everyone's awesome d^_^b
- The Internet >:((( 1. Using it for uni has made me even more addicted to the Internet than before OTL; 2. Because of some previous malfunctions, I have lost some marks lol. Oh well, that'll just have to make me work harder to make up for what I've lost ^_^
- Some bad days got to me D< it can't be helped and it can't be fixed, so focus on what's on ahead rather than what's right next to you?
Can't wait for the holidays yeahhh! Aaaaand semester two!
