So I spent five hours yesterday without electricity. You know what that meant: revision. All. Day. Long. You never really realise how much you depend on electricity until it’s gone: No revision on the laptop No hot lunch No cold food from the fridge (I lie, but I was too afraid to open the fridge [...]

Ding-dong! The witch is dead…
I’m sure everyone has heard, one way or other, Bin Laden is now dead. Here’s where I read it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13256676 After 40 minutes of “firefight” in Pakistan, US forces succeeded in killing Bin Laden, his son and his trusted courier. No Americans were injured, but some of the opposition were. The forces then took hold [...]
Writing > books > internet
It’s hard to get my head around the world now. These days the internet has taken over: with blogs taking over diaries, Twitter taking over stalking, and Facebook taking over life. What has the world come to? Or is everything going to be like this from now on? I sit here, and think, does anyone [...]

I love you Tolkien, love you vampires too
Well, today is the day where I have been told to choose options ready for next year. Surprise surprise, Sod’s Law, the module options I had been hoping to choose are not even offered anymore. I’m sorry, Tolkien, I guess it was just never meant to be. Shame, I knew we would've made it work. [...]
Asian love
Now, I’ve just been procrastinating, trying not to write one of my beefy essays, and where do I go to? Youtube. Yup. I came across this one video, a response against a “racist” American girl ranting about Asians in libraries. The video is hilarious; I was laughing so much I was close to crying. Gotta [...]
Be specific…
“Be specific” were the words that kept rolling out of my lecturers’ mouths today when I went to see two of them about the essays I had just gotten back. “Be specific”. Sure, right. How, exactly? Apparently, that’s what makes a good English Literature student – finding that out yourself. On the bright side, I [...]
