As you know I had good intentions of being really organised and using technology to its fullest extent to help me study for uni. And I’m sure you’ve read my rant about technology letting me down because the files were actually images despite telling me they were pdf. It meant ...

Bitch Planet by Kelly Sue Deconnick and Valentine de Landro I’m so over committed I’m finding it hard to fit in enough time for reading. I’ve currently run out of books I’ve read to scribble a few words about and am showing you one of my university novels instead. Next ...
This is another of those rants where I totally lose my cool, if you could read my mind you’d be thrown across the room in shock at the number of swear words. I’ve been back at uni for a week and a couple of days. The first day I wasn’t enthused ...
I feel like I’m pregnant again with all this talk of trimester 1, 2 and 3, and it could feel a bit like childbirth in 2019 when I finish and have a qualification but it’s just uni jargon and I need to wrap my head around so many new concepts so what’s one ...
Thank you to everyone for your patience while I dropped off the face of the earth for a few days. There were a number of things I didn’t do over the past few days and I’m just realising what some of them where. I will continue apologising to family and ...
I promised myself I wasn’t going to write anything more about uni until after the trimester but I’m wanting to have something scheduled so it publishes Monday morning without me having to worry about it, i.e. I’m writing these words on Sunday night. I’m tired and my brain is full, my ...
With my last class being Thursday next week and five assignments due in between now and Monday week I sort of have a few things to do. If need be I will ditch all social media for the duration and that includes my blog. I’ll catch up on any Author by Alphabet I’ve missed ...
We had a prompt for Writing Craft at Uni. We had to write 1,500 words on Memory as Seed. That means we had to take a memory and write a short story with that as the basis. It was going to be workshopped so we had to then take enough copies ...
I know it’s sometimes challenging to figure out which compliment/complement to use but this is a rather old shop and I’d expect they’d want to get this right. ‘Complimentary’ is right as they’re giving away a pair of earrings but ‘compliment’ is wrong as the earrings are not giving away nice ...
Because I’m stretched for time (when am I not?) I’m not doing anything in particular today. I’ve got a presentation tomorrow for my Communication tute with my topic being the Future of Games, it’s taken up too much of my time as my memory has challenges. The research I did early on ...
Disgrace by J M Coetzee This is one of the books I’m studying this trimester, it’s another case of ‘I have no other books as I haven’t had time to read much besides uni stuff.’ I’m not going to apologise as it’s well worth the read despite the main character. ...
The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K Le Guin I’ve been reading a lot of books and a lot of reference material but very little in the way of novels for the blog so you’ll have to be content with one of my textbooks instead. I have awesome textbooks, I ...
There’s a lot of work, a lot of reading and some writing. While I’m enjoying going to lectures and tutes and I’m enjoying being told to read heaps, and I’m also enjoying the writing there are things I’m not enjoying. Most specifically the fact that I don’t think I’m good ...
My brain is a little full at the moment and I keep forgetting what I was doing, sometimes in the middle of doing it so I’m scribbling a few more words on Uni because I’ve forgotten what I was really going to write. Uni life is amazing! They tell you ...
So I’m at Uni and how I allocate my time has changed substantially, there are some things I find I just haven’t time for any more but it’s okay to cut down on TV watching, maybe not so okay to cut down my reading or cut out my writing but ...
