Koninginnedag, Hier kom ik!....

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

Insanity.....

Anyone fancy a beer, it's my round. I've been sat working, reading and staring at my assignment all day, and whilst I may be 963 words down, I am still 963 words short...hence that's why I've turned to alchohol....I'm getting crisps as well, any preference on flavour??

For this assignment we've had to come up with our own topic, assignment question etc etc and we have to write 2000 words on it. I, rather stupidly (I'm consulting medical professionals shortly) have chosen Gothic. Why, oh why. I would've had more success teaching a donkey the hula hoop, but, in saying all that I am enjoying the challenge a teeny weeny bit, but blimey it's hard work.

Anyway, back to more cheery topics. Things are going well for the purchase of the caravan I was harping on about last night, I've had a rummage down the back of the couch and at the bottom of my handbag, and I've raised (drum roll)...£1.36, 2 euros and a pen. So it's going well, and I'll soon be able to afford the key to put in the lock. There is a silver lining to all this, just gives me more time to plan the road trip and buy a current road atlas, and not use 2003's AA road companion. It's all in the planning!!!

Right, I need another drink, anyone fancy joining me?

Till next time....x
