cosmic_llinOK, it's been quite a while since I updated this thing...
Busy, busy...
Everything seems to be happening at once lately. It's all a bit much.
The main news is, I'm off to Russia again next weekend, for a month. But I've been reliably informed that the internet access out there has improved somewhat since my last stint, so I should still be able to email and what-not every few days. And it is only a month. Just under, in fact.
Real Life is... a bit stressy. Having a bit of a bad week, as deadlines make me cranky. But hopefully in the next few days I can get lots of coursework handed in and perk up a bit before I get to Kitezh.
No money, no time, no energy, as usual...
What else, what else?
Oh, oddly, while the rest of my life is coming crashing down around my ears, my writing is going rather well all of a sudden. Revelatory conversations with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
penguin2 and sashavangenius have led to my doing what I should have done a long time ago and scrapping a large portion of my novel, quite a bit of which was already written, but bizarrely this has left me feeling very optimistic and psyched about the whole thing. Productivity is up.
Things that are keeping me sane at the moment: Big Finish Audio, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 69p bonbons from the corner shop, nice housemates, garishly-coloured cat-shaped beads that remind me of the Sixth Doctor, the apparent arrival of spring, Victoria Wood's Dinnerladies, making lists, counting the days until graduation.
People I am hero-worshipping lately: Colin Baker, Celia Imrie, Stephen Fry, Pauline Collins, Maggie Stables, Ruthie Henshall, Nicola Bryant, Steven Moffat, Julie Andrews
Things I need to do: Finish all coursework, pack stuff for Russia, go to Russia, enjoy, come back, sort out horrifying finances, pass exams, graduate, SOMEHOW GET CAREER
Eek.
Have a nice weekend, all!
