Productivity

I've decided to take some steps in my life to be more productive. I can't hope to be successful if I carry on like this.

This means less time:

• On Facebook/Tumblr
• Less hours wasted refreshing my Google Reader

And more time:

• Reading
• Writing down words I don't know the meanings of and looking up the definitions
• Writing

AS module results tomorrow.

I think I may set up an anonymous blog. I'd like to be able to write more of what I want without having to worry about my family/teachers/possible future university tutors and employers could see.

On a happier note, I went to see my old English teacher today. She gave me her number and e-mail address and told me to drop her a text if I want any help. FO SHO.

I really need to sort my life out

I did quite an awful coursework essay. I'm really not pleased with it. Considering I would LOVE to do English at Oxford, the fact I handed it in knowing full well that it was shit was really not doing myself any favors.


Thank the flying spaghetti monster for redrafting.

Buckley's version of it is my favourite

Totally stole this pic from my homegirl.


I had never listened to Jeff properly until this weekend. I used to believe it was impossible to have a favourite album. I can safely say that I now do, and I can't claim an album has ever 'changed my life' but Grace has definetely come the closest to it. 


Incredibly haunting, beautiful, and simply perfect.




R.I.P Jeff.

I recently realised

how I live in a little bubble. A middle-class, liberal, stereotypical North London bubble.

who had this shit idea?

I neglect my blogger far too much.

Why is it that you're expected to know what you want to do by the time you are around 16?

I love learning. I hate school.

Englishness

I neglect you far too much Blogger.

Anyway, a rant.

I hate the way the far-right in the UK seems to have brainwashed society so much into feeling as though being proud of being English is a part of right-wing ideology.

By no means am I ethnically English, but I was born here, and have lived here my whole life, and i for one, am proud of that, and still a liberal (most definetely NOT a Liberal Democrat though!)
