This blog will help serve as motivation for me to record my successes and failures as a final year student of English Literature. Two years of partying and failure to produce any work that truly reflected my ability, I am using this blog initially as a means of documenting my day-to-day achievements in working towards a final year grade that can really show what I can achieve in academia. This blog will also run parallel with my issues regarding my obsession with money and social pressures.

I have recently returned to WDC and my blog; yours leapt out at me when I was taking a gander at the ones which are posted...looking for blogs I used to know...
It's easy to get cynical in the world where we live; if you spend too much time looking at or listening to the "honchos" who seem to run things, if you look too much at what others have that you don't...but I'll tell you a secret and it's seriously true. Somewhere, there is someone looking at YOU and wondering why they don't have what you do. No, it's true. When I discovered this little fact about life I was floored. Who'd want MY life, you might ask. You'd be surprised.
Academia is isolating in its own way. Ivory towers aside. Since I have a B.A. degree in English Literature and two graduate degrees in Public Health (and currently working on completing a fourth and final degree), I think that I can speak from some reasonable amount of experience on the subject. It's all too easy to fall into the apparent 'romance' when you're an undergrad. However, as a literary 'apprentice' of sorts, learning to think critically is an important part of your journey. As it should be, in my personal opinion.
Ah, yes-sleep deprivation-as evidenced by your affect/effect confusion. Sleep when you are tired. Eat when you're hungry. Party when you need company. The rest will (and can) take care of itself.
That is pretty shitty dude, although thieves are known to target libraries for that very reason. We can only trust to karma, and that he brakes his neck post haste. Buy a fountain pen (good for crappy handwriting) and write a poem about revenge by candlelight - every cloud baby!
