This afternoon, as I sat at my window sorting through school papers, my attention was directed to the street below my window by a series of angry shouts. As I turned to gaze out the window I saw one small-ish and rather drunk man chasing a black taxi down the street screaming for it to hault. As the cabbie ignored Drunk Man's angry shouts and kept ( Read more... )

So, it's 3AM and I am in the midst of an insomnia attack. So I get up because lying in bed waiting to fall asleep is no longer an option and I'm wandering about my room, doing things here and there, when I hear high pitched whistling out on the street. The first few times I ignore it, until curiosity gets the better of me and I go look out the ( Read more... )

This afternoon, after I rolled out of bed around noon and made some lunch (yeah, uni being over is great...) I betook myself into the rare but lovely Welsh sunshine and went on a Swansea excursion. My main purpose was to seek out the Dylan Thomas Center and buy a poster I'd seen hanging in the Swansea train station which I fancied. So found it I ( Read more... )

So, I'm done. I turned in my final essays this morning. In one sense I feel this enormous amount of relief, because the school-ish is basically all over for the next 3-4 months. At the same time, I'm kind of like...okay..what now? I always sort of feel like that after school ends. Takes me a while to adjust to my newly found freedom ( Read more... )

On Tuesday afternoon I left with the gang from the Farm to visit the Center for Alternative Energy (CAT) which is located in mid-ish Wales somewhere just south of Snowdonia. It's about a 4 hour trip up there and I barely knew any of the people I was going with, but it turned out nice and rather fun. It was sort of a culture shock experience all ( Read more... )

Well, it's been a while. I've been a bit crap at keeping up with things- especially here because I spend so much time at the computer working on essays that I do my best not to prolong that time with other things. Anyhow, that's pretty much all that's been going on- essays. I'm officially finished with 2 of them and the third one is mostly written ( Read more... )

This morning I had a revelation. I went to turn in my first three essays, and I realized that the secretary of the Politics Department is totally Umbridge. She's not quite so mean as Umbridge is, I'll admit that. And she doesn't wear all pink. But short and tubby though she may be, she's really rather intimidating. I've not been able to have a ( Read more... )

So, there are other things I could write about...but frankly, I don't care to. Mainly because those items of information are all negative and unhappy to write about. And since writing about them won't do any good, instead, I'll write about something that made me happy.

I was randomly surfing the internet a night or two ago, like you do, and came ( Read more... )

Well, I've been terrible about keeping up to date here. Too much is happening all at once.

My mum and aunt have come and gone. The trip went well for the most part- although a bit hectic as visits tend to be. Here's the short version;

* The day they arrived I was going out of my mind because I hadn't heard from my mum and she was supposed to call me ( Read more... )

The last week has been really great. On Saturday Anna invited to me to have Easter lunch with her and the rest of the Erasmus gang over on King Edward Road. I'm really glad I went because it was a really fun day. There were about 15 of us who all gathered and had a big Easter lunch (pasta of course) in the backyard. It was a really nice sunny day ( Read more... )
