Catch Up!

I can't believe how long it's been since I last wrote!! Dissertation work truly is taking over my life.. As well as other Uni work, the stress of finding a grad job, maintaining a work/social life/gym/sleep balance, life is pretty hectic at the mo!! At least I can successfully (kind of) say I've FINALLY started my diss! Took me long enough haha, if I could be given an award in procrastination I would win it every single day of my life. Everything, and I mean literally EVERYTHING seems more appealing than doing uni work at the minute. Slight bit of dust? Clearly I must hoover everywhere and bleach everywhere and clean the kitchen for the 18th time. I didn't think it was possible to avoid something this much until now... Ignorance truly is bliss, until deadlines creep around! Waaaa... Good news is, I have lots more to write about as I've been away for SO long! Watch out for new posts soon..

Decisions decisions decisions...

   Okay the time has come to decide on my third year options for University! This is very scary for me as it doesn't seem 10 minutes since I started as a fresher.. How time flies! Now I've got to make rational choices that will see me through final year and hopefully give me the desired first I so desperately want! There are some compromises I have to make though that I am less than impressed about...

   Some of the lecturers, despite being lovely people, really are not that great! I haven't clicked with them and haven't enjoyed their style of teaching and so I am finding myself swaying away from their modules. As luck would have it though, of course these are the people with the most interesting sounding modules! Which leaves the question - do I choose a module I'll find really interesting but risk not enjoying it due to the module leader or do I choose a less desirable module that I know will have an engaging lecturer that I will be able to relate to? Difficult one! With the deadline only three days away I should probably get deciding and confirming my choices...

   I guess the only good thing to come from this was me deciding to do an English Literature dissertation as opposed to English Language! Not a total failure if I managed to make one choice haha! Now just to decide on a title... Wish me luck haha!
