28. Where’s your favourite place to take an out-of-town guest?

St Ives as it is practically rude not to.

Answer for question 4567.

[Error: unknown template qotd]If we are talking romantic relationships, then no - I am glad to be well shot of previous liaisons. In regards to friendship, I was friends with someone, where our prime connection was to make many creative things together. We knew each other for a few years, then it fizzled out - I just think our lives gradually changed direction and that we had both changed. I do miss the fun time we had together, but I am not sure that I miss it enough to reconnect. It would be...kinda weird.

A Different Track

Xmas Tree - Roland Levinsky Building

Well, I have sorted it out and it will take me two years to finish the degree now.  Privately, I am relieved.  As I have said before, it is not so bad if you live on campus, but it is sheer insanity when you are 2 hours train ride away.  It means that I have to do my PP this weekend, sort out the last 2 essays and then in February just have 2 essays and a PP to prepare.  It leaves the major dissertation and the last mod 2016-2017.

Things is, my body ganged up on me and said 'no way'.  I have to respect that - what's the point in reaching for the skies if you come down with a bump? If I wasn't at the PC, I was travelling or in bed - I literally didn't have a life.  You could probably do that for 6 months, but not 3 years.  It will take 5 years all told (1 year Access, 2 FdA English Studies - now 2 BA English year 3), but at least I will go back to enjoying it.  It has been one hell of a year and I will be glad when it is over.

Criticism & Culture: The Ladies' Paradise :-(

The results are back and many people are very unhappy.  The student's forum lit up and many are in tears.   I too, was heartbroken and just bawled my eyes out.  Yes, I have passed - but so low.  How can someone who is cruising near a first tumble to the bottom of the seconds? These marks are seriously screwing my averages.  At least 2 have only got 40% which is just a pass - another asked me to call her and told me to buck up and breathe a sigh of relief that I passed (which actually I appreciate - even if she was drunk).

I am so glad I took the decision to do this over 2 years.  Right now, I am in bed nursing my ego and a bottle of scotch a hot water bottle. Hate this bloody year :'((((
