I dreamed a dream…
January 16, 2013
There was a time exams were kind When answers were clear And MCQ’s inviting There was a time when examiners were blind And life was a song And grades were exciting There was a time (KS2) Then it all went wrong I dreamed a dream in time gone by When free time was high …
A Shiny New Year
January 2, 2013
Well Christmas has Christmassed, New Year has New Yeared and now it’s 2013: Year of the Elephant (because elephants have long memories and I really need a good memory right now!). To be honest so far I feel like it’s been the Year of the Sloth but maybe organising early (ish) morning revision was optimistic …
HOME
December 19, 2012
I’ve clicked my Ruby slippers, followed the scent –it’s my home Ratty!, told everybody I’m on my way (who gets all three references?) and I am home for Christmas. T minus 6 days and counting. Home is lovely and altogether too distracting for revision. I find the Christmas holidays so much harder to work …
So this is…Fakemas
December 12, 2012
In case you didn’t know – Fakemas is Christmas you celebrate with your Uni friends before breaking up for Christmas holidays. Deadlines are almost over, my boots are skidding on frozen leaves, cactus santas are in the shops (no seriously, I’m not joking, see below) so what does this mean? It’s almost holiday time! This …
Big Brother is watching…the BBC Good Food Show
December 5, 2012
“WAR IS PEACE” “FREEDOM IS SLAVERY” “IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH” Ever wondered where the phrases “big Brother” and “room 101” come from? Well the answer is the novel 1984 by George Orwell; a bleak portrayal of a future where a dictatorship rules humanity and life is defined by the slogans above. The New Theatre (the only …

November 28, 2012
If I was doing a degree in procrastination I would get… …a fail because I’d have distracted myself doing something else. Well I’m not that bad. I do get my work done before deadlines and I do try to be organised, however sometimes it all gets a bit much and working swiftly changes to procrastination. …
Haha!

Sometimes laughter is the best medicine. A case in point below of me crying with laughter before going to a ball (I’m not normally dressed that formally). My flatmates were pretending to rap. I love my Uni friends – and random moments of joy that have really made me chuckle. This week these moments have …
The Game of Life
November 14, 2012
This is my To Do list: We’ve got a lot to do, it is one lump or two? For you our guest, She’s our Guest, Be our guest!. As you can see I have quite a lot to do. Uni Third year is like playing “life” on level expert, with multiple coursework bosses and low …
You have been watching
November 7, 2012
I have a confession to make: I love TV. Glad I’ve got that off my chest. I feel sort of un-cultured and plebeian saying it, like I’m admitting to loving watching bear-baiting and attending public hangings, instead of watching French subtitled black and white films and sketching metaphorical representations of dreams I’ve had whilst …
Anything can happen on Halloween…
October 31, 2012
Right now I feel like this: My brain has been hollowed out and my features are carved in an expression of fatigue and mild confusion. Mid-term blues when the work really accumulates and summer seems like a distant memory. However none of that matters because MY FAMILY ARE VISITING TODAY!!!! As you can …
