I have three articles on Antigone that I should probably be reading but I am so brain dead from a day reading endless articles about Tacitus, and churning out the world’s longest essay plan that I need a break. So, I’ve popped this week’s Chuck on, and I’ll throw out a few bullet points on [...]

I’m focused on three things at the moment: keeping warm, studying & Netflix! You’d think after a zillion winters on the north-east I’d be use to the cold and the snow, and more cold and more snow. But, no. Sure the snow is fun at first, and since the UK got snow before us this [...]

Where oh where has the week gone? Suddenly it is Saturday afternoon and I find myself in a Malaysian restaurant in Hoboken. My first proper trip out in a week, and there were shrimp dumplings and tofu to celebrate. I’ve been under virtual house arrest studying all week so every day ran into each other. [...]

1. Study hard & aim to get firsts in final exams: Greek Drama, Nero to Hadrian & Women in Antiquity 2. Start to learn “dead” languages: Latin & Greek 3. Start to learn a “live” language: German, French or Italian 4. Look for a part-time job in May to pay for language courses & perhaps [...]
It’s all quiet on the blogging front at the moment as I hunker down to some serious exam revision. My first exam is on Monday and though it makes me feel like a wobbly jelly I am quite excited. In a week’s time it will all be over (for another year at least) and then [...]
Woo hoo it’s a long weekend, and I’ve spent two-thirds of it curled up on the couch with my boy. Now he has packed his wheelie suitcase, headed off into the sunset (again), and I am left to knock about the empty flat and study. STUDY! I’ve managed to catch-up with Pompeii and I’ve actually [...]
Not quite as exciting as Battlestar Galactica: The Plan which is released in a little under a month (yippee) but I am going to make libations to the gods for a productive weekend. The weekend kicked off with sushi at Blue Ribbon and then finishing the latest Alexander McCall Smith novel ‘The Lost Art of [...]

Positives Yoga, SculptWorks & Pilates – the holy exercise triumvirate Don Draper’s his ability to compartmentalize Pumpkin spiced loaf with chocolate chips – delish! Hoping with Alex out of the way part of the week I’ll be able to not only catch-up but also get ahead with my school work Alexander McCall Smith & the [...]
disguised blessings

This week has been rather strange. I have written umpteen drafts of posts – some full of self pity and others up beat. The tail end of September is, in general a bumpy time for me, the juxtaposition of blissful and painful anniversaries. But, this week has really taken the biscuit. At times I felt [...]
old dog + new tricks = tired dog

This revision business is too hard – brain close to reaching its saturation point. Temporary solution: caffeine and chocolate Permanent solution: hook me up to a vodka & red bull drip and I’ll forget about this whole self improvement lark… But, to give me some inspiration isn’t it wonderful that Greg on The Archers is [...]
