Freedom Feels Weird

It’s been a couple of weeks now since I finished my dissertation, and thus, finished my degree. In fact, despite the gentle jokes, and more serious implications of expanding on my Master’s research, that I should go on to do a doctorate, I am finished with education. After four years, I think it’s only fair …

7 Quick Takes Friday

I'm back, and so is participation in Quick Takes Friday, hosted over at This Ain't This Lyceum. ~1~ I finished my dissertation! Now, everybody do a happy dance! ~2~ Please don't mind my absence this week - I feel like I've been being productive, inside the house at least. ~3~ I (mostly) sorted the spare …

8 Things I’m Going to Miss About London

This is part two of my things-I’m-going-to-miss series. You can read part one here . London is multi-cultural and that’s one of the things you tend to notice about it. It attracts all kinds of people. Despite this, there are loads of incredible things about London and I have always felt at home in it, …

Return to Normalcy

Well, hello, Monday. Hello, a weekday where I'm not stuck inside a textbook or anxiously scribbling away on my laptop. Books are strewn across the floor, papers are mismatched, my brain is all over the place. I feel like there are so many things I meant to do, but work and recovering from work has …

Current State of Work

Currently...revising. I've got a few exams coming up, so I've been in revision mode for most of my free days, though of course, with the Easter celebrations, that’s been a little more difficult to do. I’ll be on my way home from my parent’s tomorrow, so I hope to be back on track when the …

Loreley Folk

I am delighted to share today for this music-y Friday, the folk duo Loreley, formed of good friends of mine, Maddy Glenn and Simon James Chisholm. Brought together in our first year of university by writing, and by subsequent modules in later years, it was clear that Maddy and Simon have a strong bond with …

AN OPERATIC WEEK

It really does feel like I am spending all my time in a theatre. And it’s marvellous. Yes, I am aware of how much energy is sapped and how I feel so unfit because my limbs ache when I do the usual daily walking et cetera – but these are the risks I chose when …

Quick Takes: Truth Tables, Fantastic Magic, and SPG Hit

Seven Quick Takes is hosted by This Ain't the Lyceum. ~1~ As we near advent now, it is time to reevaluate our goals and our behaviour, and orient ourselves towards the Lord and His genesis into human life. Christmas is such a pivotal time for Christians because of the birth of Christ. ~2~ This song …

Quick Takes: Two Weeks

I fully meant to be part of the blog-hop last week, but, somehow, it escaped me, and this I guess this is a culmination of last week's and this week's adventures. ~1~ I must say it every week, but my time is being swept away from me now, though not necessarily in a bad way. …

Spoons, Priorities, and Blogging

When I did my undergraduate degree at Reading, I specifically picked accommodation that was not on campus, but not too far from it either. I couldn't face being enclosed in a campus, and it had been my initial wish to join a city university (instead of trying to convince us that you pick the wedding …
