So since the last time I posted a lot of things have happened. Uni stuff is picking up, but I'm still not very good about doing my work yet. That's gonna need to change, especially since I'll be getting weekly assignments from now on with my supervisor. And Baldr moved in! I live with my best friend/sister/wife type person and her massive dog. It's ( Read more... )

I watched the Sherlock Holmes movie on the flight home from the US, and am now obsessed. Anyone got any good fanfic links? I really should have seen this coming, considering how much I enjoy Laurie R King's Mary Russell series.

I'm currently failing at revising. I have an exam on Saturday, Wednesday, and Saturday, and really don't care at the moment ( Read more... )

So, I'm sure you've all heard about that huge cloud of volcanic ash that's covering all of Europe. And how all flights are cancelled, and all these thousands of people are stuck in different countries and/or continents to where they want to be.

I'm one of them.

At least in the sense that my flight home today was cancelled. Technically I'm not sure I ( Read more... )

I desperately need to make a post on IVFDF and St Andrew's Highland Ball last Saturday, but it'll have to wait. There's pictures up on facebook with some comments though! Including my amusing - to me - tagging of things like "pillow of awesome". What can I say, it was nice to have a pillow to return to after the fire alarm went off at 6 AM on ( Read more... )

Haven't written anything in FOREVER. Or a while, anyway. I should be working on my Philosophy essay, but I'm just going to plan it today anyway and sitting in front of the computer is Not Helping, so I've decided to write this and then go home.

( Update: )

- We finally got our Psychology results from last term! Not Philosophy though, because, well, they're Philosophers. I got a B1 as my final mark, so I likely got an A4 for my exam. Muahaha. Hahahaha. To get into Honours/Third and Fourth Year Psychology you need a B as your average mark in the second year. Muahaha. Muahahahahaha! I'm getting into ( Read more... )

 Sooo.... so. 5-7th March there's a big Folk Dance Festival, IVFDF (iff-diff). Last year I was able to go since I finished the Philosophy essay with the nearby deadline early, on the Thursday just before I left. It was the first time I finished something ahead of time since..... since ages. And I went to IVFDF. And it was one of the best ( Read more... )

That's apartment, to all you non-Brits.
Soph and me found an apartment in Glasgow for next year! It allows dogs! I'm going to live with Soph and her doggy Baldr, and it'll be awesome and spectacular and oh god why can't it be now?!
There has been much rejoicing. It's all finished in the sense that yes, we have the flat, but now we I need to figure ( Read more... )

I HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW COLD MY ROOM IS HERE

SWEET JESUS I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN TAKE IT

I SWEAR IT'S WORSE THAN OUTSIDE BECAUSE THERE YOU EXPECT IT TO BE COLD

AT LEAST IN DECEMBER IT WASN'T MUCH BELOW ZERO. NOW IT IS.

CURRENTLY HEATING WATER FOR HOT WATER BOTTLES. EXCEPT BOTH OUR KETTLES ARE BROKEN, SO MUST DO IT THE SLOW WAY. AAARGH.

Tomorrow me and my mother will depart this lovely island and head for our other homes - she drops me off at Skavsta airport and carries on to Göteborg -> Kiel, Germany -> the Hague. Assuming the roads are fine, the flights and ferries leave as they should, and the trains are good, there won't be any problems.

Ah ha ha. Hah. Oh dear. I keep having ( Read more... )
