Ok, so my dutch isn't wonderful but at least I tried (and cheated...I used babelfish!).
Well, today we had our last first year creative writing session today...it was a presentation session where we could stand up and read out some of our work to our year group peers. It was a great morning, but also tinged with a bit of sadness as I'm not going to see everyone for nearly 5 months now, I've been so used to seeing the same faces since September, it'll be strange. It also means I need to go out and ply my secretarial wares and get myself a job for the summer. I also found out I've had 2 poems published in Question Mark. A good day all round.
But before there's any talk of working for a living, I've got Amsterdam on Wednesday for a week. Whilst, yes part of it will be spent in the pub the other part will be spent chilling out, reading and doing some writing. Oh yes, Dolly's going all continental!!
Well I shall leave it there, I need to finish my assignments which are due and try and sort out my packing which will consist of throwing clean clothes in the case and ironing when I get there, hahaha.
I also want to wish all of my fellow LIT1000er's good luck for their presentations this week, I have faith in all of you (yes, even you) that you'll be absolutely fine and I'll be thinking of you...in the pub with a beer in my hand...woo hoo! Good luck guys.
Right, I'm off. I've got tea to drink, work to do and partying to be done. I've been listening to Handsome Boy Modelling School's song The Truth, fantastic song, and I've also been having a bit of classical today and Andre Rieu is hitting the spot...and yes I've been waltzing around the bedroom - I got a bit dizzy though so gave up!!
I shall see you all when I get back!
Tot de volgende keer...x
Ooh I need to find out what all this means!
ReplyDeleteTa for the luck, think I'll need it, and you enjoy every minute of your well-deserved break.
Your presentation will be fine, I am sure of it, and if all else fails you could present it through the medium of mime...I was seriously considering that for mine I can tell you, hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI will admit I did cheat with the dutch and used babelfish, I only know a couple of words...beer, firestation (always handy I find), and vodka. Essentials, Lol
