Yesterday was hand in day. I still had to print off the hard copies of my two essays (for context to this post flick back and browse the last few- I’d been racing to get these two essays done in time) so it was off early into uni (for a change. Not.)

I got them printed, sorted and handed in by half past 11. Wahoo! Then I met with Viki, Kenton and another girl from my film class called Grace for a celebration. Although, it wasn’t quite the crazy hedonistic celebration you might expect. First of all we stopped at The Forum for… A cup of tea. Then we somehow swapped Grace for Jane and headed off into town to live it up at… A very English tea rooms… Although, to be fair, that place was awesome. I had a five item breakfast and they let me choose which five items I wanted from a list of ten (at the time I thought this was the greatest thing ever ever ever, although now, with the benefit of hindsight, I can see it’s slightly less impressive). It was a lot of fun, we laughed an awful lot, and then visited a couple of my favourite book shops before eventually parting ways.

I then had to go to the final meeting of the post-grad colloquium committee (the colloquium is a week on Monday. Damn. Better write a paper to present for that…). Afterwards I headed over to the library to get some books for my next assignment (a research training exercise due in on Tuesday) where I bumped into one of my old tutors who told me a research seminar was about to start that was to be led by one of my under-grad dissertation tutors about Scotland, the Gothic, and the eighteenth century: Most of my research interests! I went with him, and once there I found Kaja who had also heard about it. The talk did indeed cover most of my interests, and served as a nice book end to a lot of what I’ve been studying this semester.
