I feel like counting down to when I can leave this place, escape and just graduate. I have no-where that is peaceful any more, that I can just sit and read through the stuff that I need to. I woke up this morning and started making notes on the poem I need to read, Isabella Whitney. I read her background details and a made notes then got prepared for another Open Day.
It went okay today but I just wanted to come home and get some work done. I attempted to try and find some books I need for my dissertation in the university library and failed, meaning I had to order a few… The joy of being in Britain and writing about a Canadian author.
Today has not been as productive as I’d hoped. I also tried to complete some of the driving theory questions to see how much I could remember and came out with about 80-86% each time, so it could be worse but I need to keep aiming for about 90-95% to be happy with where I am and my theory exam is in just over a week. I’m stressed beyond belief but trying to keep calm and not lose my temper.

Bullying is an act of repeated aggressive behavior in order to intentionally hurt another person, physically or mentally. I think people forget that sometimes.
I have just finished The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson. It wasn’t as exciting as the first but the whole, ‘I am your father’ was interesting. Today I travelled back from Birmingham after a little shopping at H&M and arrived back about half past three. Last night was brilliant, NFG were amazing and I’d definitely go to see them tour. I did some research on JSTOR for my optional module and then went to a friends for tea before coming home to watch IT crowd with Mike. It was nice to just sit and relax and giggle away to a bit of comedy. Now it’s time for bed. Tomorrow I hope to wake up early enough to do at least a little on the wii and then I have the open day to work on for a few hours.
