Freedom

School is finally over. Well, for me at least. Yesterday I had my last exam, so I am officially free for the summer (and free from that particular school forever). It’s quite odd, since the overwhelming relief that I thought I’d feel hasn’t quite hit yet. I guess it’s just hard to believe that it’s actually […]

Accursed school!

I haven’t written a post in so long. I haven’t done writing either (well, not Tacita at least). I haven’t done much drawing, or really anything that I have wanted to do. That is all because of the menace known as school. They have decided to ramp up the pressure, the stress and the homework […]

Round 2

I got a reply from all three agents, and I won’t sugarcoat it or anything; I was rejected. I’ve been surprisingly cool about the whole thing. Before I sent it off, I was so worried about how I was going to react if I got rejected– would I cry? Would I be sad? Would I […]

And now we wait…

This post isn’t really planned, and I’ve not really thought of much to write, so it’s kind of an update-ish kind of thing. I’ve sent off Tacita to three agents, and I’m just in the process of waiting for a reply. According to what I’ve read, you should send it to six agents at a […]

My most popular post of all time…?!

This is so weird. My most popular post EVER– viewed more times than the homepage– is ‘Fun Things to Do in The Sims 3‘. It is pretty much the most viewed post per day, and definitely the most viewed post per week, month, quarter, year, and of all time. Over 1600 views! I made that […]

Appreciating drawing

It is appalling how little I have updated in the past few months, and I feel like I should really stop saying that, but it’s true. I am in the middle of exams, but today I finally came to realise and appreciate something that I fancied sharing. And that is drawing. I have been drawing […]

Solving humankind’s problems?!

When I was a kid, I drifted along very blissfully, unaware of and indifferent to the world around me. I did not care about the news– in fact I loathed it– and I had no interest in contemplating anything more than my next snack. I didn’t know just how privileged a life I led. I […]

I’m a bit of a slacktivist…

Gosh, I haven’t posted in FOREVER. I keep meaning to, but then I get sidetracked, but now I have nothing to do and I am making myself write this before I forget, because I’ve had this idea in my head for a post for days. I think I will, from now on, think of ideas […]

Are English speakers lazy?

No, I’m not being as rude as the title suggests! It’s just something that I thought of, and I SHOULD have put in my “Pondering on language” post, but I forgot, and it seems like a topic worthy of a small post of its own. So now to the actual question– are English speakers lazy? […]

Pondering on language…

Hi guys! I’m sorry I haven’t posted in such a long time! Schoolwork has crept up on me and completely enveloped me in tons of homework, revision and all that sort of thing. But now it’s the Christmas holidays, and I have something to write about; namely, language. It’s been on my mind for quite […]
