let the madness begin
I went to my first meeting yesterday on campus. Man, I forgot how much commuting sucked. But that was just the beginning of the fun, since when I sat down and started trying to piece together a workable schedule, the shit hit the fan when I realised that my timetable was like a three ring circus. I am required to take 6 modules. FIVE of the ones I wanted to take are in term 1, leaving a...

I want to go to there.
on the turn
And so it begins, the change of seasons. In Britain, there are only really two: ON and OFF. There is certainly a lot more OFF than ON and someone hit that switch a few days ago and the light has been decidedly dimmer ever since.

beauty all around us
Mr Man put me in the car and drove me to the train station yesterday for the purposes of going for a nice therapeutic shop. I think, perhaps, it isn’t the shopping I love so much as the opportunity to touch and smell and taste beautiful things.
