In German speaking today we were asked where we...
Even though Sarah said that the North-West was the best in terms of all the places you could visit from there, I’ve been there before and I’ve visited pretty much every German town/place of interest in that area. I said that I quite fancied living in the East somewhere, be that Berlin (though I have been once), Leipzig, Dresden etc. I realised that not only would these places have the...
Standard 3 hour 'nap'
Even though that thing I reblogged said not to nap for so long. Woke up really warm so now sat with the sun shining down on me, a nice breeze coming through the window, texts from friends, the sound of someone playing their guitar, and a sense that summer may not be so far away…
Very nice evening
It was lovely to see Sarah the German Assistant again and she was with her cousin and it was their first time in London so it was refreshing to show them places which are quite exciting when you’ve never visited London before. We went to Leicester Square and then ate in China Town. It wasn’t amazing food, the Chinese in Camberwell is far nicer and the same price for actual quality...
Horrendous day
Spent literally every moment from 9 til 4 doing my work that was due in today and consequently missed all 3 lectures today. It’s the first time I’ve deliberately missed lectures and so i’m feeling a bit guilty. Found out I’ve got a seminar tomorrow which I have to do an essay for and so now I need to do that until 8 when I’m meeting Vicky and our German speaking...

Now I know why I like it. ;)
“He slipped his hands underneath her, and lifted her, until her whole pelvis became a cup from which he drank.”
Seriously though, it’s so well written. It’s about patients in a mental hospital being treated for War Neurosis in 1917, and it mixes fact and fiction effortlessly, for example Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen are characters in the...

Recap
Last night me and mum drove down to Dean and Holly’s and we had tapas and lots of white wine. For some reason I find it so easy to casually get drunk at Dean’s house. Woke up at 8 this morning after a poor night’s sleep and then went to get the train back to London at half 9. Dean had made me a sausage sandwich which I had on the way and instead of doing my reading I read more of...
I've almost finished my essay.
I must have worked quite hard on my coursework last year because I have more references than you would ever need. (Although most of them haven’t been done properly, and this time they’re included in the word count). It’s nice to be working on your essay on the day it’s due in and knowing that you’ve got time to breathe and that you don’t have to stress out about...
A guide to lazy essay writing:
Choose a topic you have already covered in detail before.
Make sure you already have a high-level essay written on that topic.
Utilise the ‘Ctrl+c’ and ‘Ctrl+v’ buttons.
Make minor changes to fit your pre-existing arguments on a different question to the new one.
BAM 1600 words and arse-loads of citations already done.
Feel guilty for having not put more effort into...

If you’re a “nice guy” to a girl up until you realize she doesn’t want to date you, then go on about how she’s a cold shrew that friendzoned you and how no girls date nice guys, like, nah mate, girls do date nice guys. You just aren’t a nice guy. You’re a passive aggressive beta with internalized misogyny and a serious victim complex.

mmmmmm so good. I think I’m gonna chance it and bring them back to use in my room at halls. I forgot that I practically survived off joss sticks when I was doing my A Level revision last summer. It just smells so good and is so relaxing. I love fire, playing with matches, candles, smoke etc. Even though it’s bad for you I always love the smell of shisha and imagine it would be lovely....

I won’t be quoting any individuals in my report, just statistics such as “over half of female users over the age of 16 answered x”. I would really appreciate it if anyone takes the 5 mins to fill this out as it will be so helpful in analysing online speech for my project :) It will be interesting…

Seriously,
A post about stars was enough to make you unfollow me? Ah well, haters gonna hate astrology!
First thing I noticed upon arriving back home:
I can see so many stars here. Beautiful

This is providing far more entertainment than it should do. You put in your twitter name and then it generates random tweets based on your past ones. It’s producing some hilarious and weirdly poetic results. e.g.

It's concert day today
I’m really quite excited. We had a 7 hour rehearsal yesterday and I did some practise last night as well so hopefully I should be ready for it. We’re performing at the Royal Academy of Music, which for an amateur musician like me is something that could very well never happen again. YAY.

I love our lecturer. He absolutely hates teaching from 4-6 on a Friday night as well, I mean he has young kids, he wants to get back home as much as we do. It was the last lecture before reading week, loads of people had skived to go home early and so he split us up into teams and we played taboo. He told us we could just throw away the cards which had words we didn’t know on them. By the...
