  1. Thanks for all your birthday messages, had a good day. Slightly worried about this getting old business but there you have it. :P

  2. Day 1 of the London Olympics approaching seventeen hours of play. Tense fifth set in the women's volleyball as the clock heads for 1:00am. God I love sport.

  3. Exhausted, hmmph! :(

  4. 'Summer' is going far too quickly.

  5. Just finished the article that will determine whether I get a place on the journalism team on a new magazine starting in Leeds this summer. *fingers crossed*

  11. Right, a month of reading news to post about. Time to get cracking with a fairly lengthy post.

  12. Brought a bag full of books home for Easter and my water leaked, destroying them all. Absolutely devestated.

    4. Ben

      Ben

      Was a bit of a disaster and I only managed to rescue my anthologies for university (thankfully), the rest were pretty much ruined.

  13. Actually can't believe how much I delievered considering the circumstances surrounding that assignment.

  14. Such a lovely few days, hoping this weather keeps up to be honest.

      Wasn't raining when I posted it. :(

  15. Need to give this some consideration.

  16. My combined hours sleep for the week so far isn't even equivalent to what I should get in one night.

      Awww Ben *hugs* .. so sorry to hear that :(

    2. Ben

      Ben

      *hugs back* Ah don'tcha worry about me, there's worse things. :)

  17. A sudden exhaustion has come over me. I feel like I'm running on empty.

  18. Urgh Valentines Day. Have a good one, all.

  19. R.I.P Whitney Houston. Incredibly talented. A tragic loss.

  20. So delighted with how the reading year has started; let's hope that the inevitable slowing down of pace comes later in the year, rather than sooner.

  21. Lol, some absolute idiot set the fire alarm off at this time. 52 people attempting to drag themselves outside. Safe to say if it was a real fire, judging by the speed some people moved, they would now be dead.

      That happened at my school a few weeks ago. Teachers going crazy and directing us in opposite directions, everyone slowly getting their coats from their locker. There wouldn't have been a lot of survivors there either.

  22. Exams over and done with, I'm literally going to sit inside and read all day today as a reward.

      Ben

      Thanks folks! Grr, I'm sure I set some sort of notification to update me when people commented on this - sorry for missing the posts. :( I won't have any idea of results for a couple of weeks at least I would imagine. :) x

  23. Studying when I would much rather be reading.

      Yeah :( Especially because I have all this free time and I can't spend it the way I want to, but the way I have to.

      Ah I *really* know what you mean. :(

    4. Hayley

      Hayley

      I sympathise with both of you! :( It WILL be worth it though. we'll just have to treat ourselves to lots of books in the summer holiday to make up for lost time :D

  24. Ah just finished Inheritance and have that weird feeling after finishing a series.. like a journey has come to an end.

    1. Hayley

      Hayley

      Best cure for that is starting a new book :D

    2. pontalba

      pontalba

    3. Ben

      Ben

      Ah yes Hayley, a great solution. :P

       

      @Pontalba: They're good reads, I do hope you enjoy them - look forward to hearing your thoughts if you do get around to them.

  25. Well I must say the new Sherlock Holmes is sensational.
