Start.

So this is me attempting to actually keep a proper blog going- there are so many blogs I read and enjoy and I'm hoping to be able to keep the dedication of posting on a fairly regular basis this time, and maybe someone else will enjoy my nonsensical ramblings.

I'm in my final year of my undergraduate degree of English Literature and History at a well-respected UK University, and I'm currently very, very stressed with essays, my dissertation (sorely neglected) and a heap of extra work which has just arrived because of my upcoming interview for a place on the Journalism MA at the same uni.  I'm excited to get an interview, but I have to sit an exam as well as pre-preparing a 400-word article on 'local transport', and it's all rather scary!  I think I can do it, it's just daunting- what happens if my stuff isn't good enough; if I don't get it? I've got a flat for the next academic year; I love the city but I don't want to be paying to live there if I've flunked out of a course...

This morning I woke up with a killer headache, it was like my brain was trying to burst out of my skull.  But painkillers and a lazy morning (bed and a gorgeous Lush honey face mask- my face is so soft!) later, I feel considerably better.

Now to attack one essay, and the dissertation...
