Well, I don't have any school to go back to in September. I thought I might take some classes but that's not looking like it'll happen until May. I've got a part-time job, but as stated, it's only part-time. So what will I do the rest of the time? Before I started this blog, I … Continue reading Now What?
Starting Again
I hope you all had a good weekend! Without work or university and with all my friends already leaving for other cities and countries, I've had to find my own reasons for leaving my room. On Sunday there was the Craft Market, the last one I'll be in town for, so I went to look at … Continue reading Starting Again
Bored
I got really bored today, which scares me because if I can't deal with one day in Winchester without university work, how am I going to deal with A WHOLE MONTH??? It's not like I wasn't doing anything. I met up with a friend, took a walk around town, took a cliché picture of myself … Continue reading Bored
Bournemouth Days 3 and 4
Okay, so that last post was a bit sparse. From Tuesday to Friday, I stayed with my friend Siân in beautiful Bournemouth. As soon as I arrived, we went straight to the beach because it was sunny and the forecast for the rest of the week was pessimistic at best. We got there and I … Continue reading Bournemouth Days 3 and 4
Spring Break
Oh dear, has it been six days already? My break will be over before I know it! Like every university student, the first couple of days after my break were spent in bed with my laptop, just happy to be done. I allowed myself the indulgence, but I'm trying to pick myself back up now. I'm … Continue reading Spring Break
Outstanding Day
What an incredible day. So today I had my second-last class. It was a celebration with food and stuff and people would go up and read poems or bits of their stories or sing songs they wrote, and we all talked and said goodbye and everything. It was great. I loved it, even though I … Continue reading Outstanding Day
Forget Home
It's easier to forget that I have another life on the other side of the ocean than to admit I've been neglecting that life. I've spoken more french over the last year than I have spoken to my mom at all. It's only now, with a week of classes left to my entire university experience that … Continue reading Forget Home
Cork Board Trifecta
It's my second-last week of classes and I'm finally starting to feel that thing that happens when something is about to end. My senses are in overdrive, trying to take everything in and commit it all to memory. One of those things is the room I've been staying in this year. Of the three rooms … Continue reading Cork Board Trifecta
Writing Influences
In class this week we were thinking about what makes us the kind of writers we are. This was good timing because I've been thinking a lot lately about the writer I am, the writer I want to be, and the writer I will most likely end up being. All three are fairly different from … Continue reading Writing Influences
I’m Back
I haven't been blogging all that much this past week, or the week before, but I have reasons! I spent the last week of February sick and feeling sorry for myself, and the first week of March getting over it and working on my ECP/dissertation/thesis. I'm done now, and I've printed it all off and had it … Continue reading I’m Back
