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

That was the week that was.....
Well my lovelies, it's Friday (thank God!) and I'm sat at home nursing a stonker of a cold, a croaky squeak of a voice and a cuppa.
Presentation was done today and is now out of the way and not to be worried about anymore. All went ok, I was nervous and talked into the piece of paper a lot, but hey, I had 1953 words to try and tell people without sounding like an incompetent muppet, pressure! But all was received well, I stumbled on my questions a little bit but that will come with practice and confidence, it's a learning curve (ooh, I do sound naff don't I??). I planned to use diversion tactics and wore some nice shoes so people might not notice what was going on above the ankles, not sure if it worked. I did apologise to my group in advance for the utter pile of poop I was going to present to them. All in all though I was happy with how things went.
I've just spent a great afternoon with Martin playing pool. We had such a laugh my cheeks are hurting from laughing. The scores pretty much evened themselves out and I think we can declare it a draw even though we ended potting some of each others balls, and potting the white on a fairly regular basis. Jack joined us as well later on and the three of us had a really good afternoon (well I hope the other two did, I know I did, hahaha), especially after it being one of those weeks.
I need to sort out my wardrobe attire for my holiday next week. I am staying with my gorgeous friend Garry for the week...god help him! hahaha, I'm joking Garry, I am well house-trained and make a cracking cuppa :-)
I'm reading out at our group presentation for Creative Writing on Monday (if my croaky squeak holds out that long)...nerves again. I'm not standing on that bloody stage again though, no siree! The only time you'll see me on stage again is accepting my oscar!
Right lovelies, I hope you have a great weekend and whatever you do it makes you smile.
Till next time....x
