Ecclectic Little Collection Of Life

Wow, so I managed to write my dissertation and get it printed and in on time! Epic stuff. I do need to write a slightly more detailed post on my life... however, I am now up writing yet another assignment.

Just a short one, 2000 words on a database that I had to make containing sources from The Times, 1875, concerning rape and sexual assault cases. Joyful.

Has led me to discover the huge amount of free books available on Kindle.. Loads of them are so useful to what I'm studying.. I'm such an idiot for not bothering to find this out sooner!

I'm still plugging away at the dissertation and have just had Judith spring a meeting on me... I have to go meet her in Kensington tomorrow at half 1 and show her what I've done so she can quickly look over everything and tell me that I've gone completely wrong!

So by the end of today I WILL have all my references sorted for each chapter, chapter 2 finally corrected, and chapter 1 done. Oh, and I also need a plan for my introduction and conclusion  I don't really need to have these written fully until Friday.

Then my weekend will be spent formatting and making sure I've included everthing in my bibliography and appendixes..

Sat in Chris's living room doing my dissertation... It's so weird! The last time that I was here was at Christmas. I can smell dinner and Pointless is on the TV.. AND I've managed to rewrite the first half of my second chapter! I'm so nearly done with the first half of the plan! I can't wait to see the bloody end of this dissertation! On a much happier note - yesterday we went to the Doctor Who Experience in London and ate dinner in Planet Hollywood. It was a pretty awesome day - I have many geeky photos, and, yes, I did get a tiny bit excited at the prospect of 'flying a tardis'... I am a shameless geek :) Chris enjoyed it too to be fair!

I'm having my last full day in the flat before going to stay with Chris and his folks tomorrow so that I have somewhere quiet to do my dissertation away from all of the distractions of work, friends, and just going out in general... Dale was meant to be here today so that I could help him with rewriting his literature review as he's mega stuck on it. However, he hasn't shown... I think I may have been blown off for the girlfriend that everyone but me officially knows about. It's so weird that he hasn't mentioned it - he's just taken to acting strangely instead... Oh well, in other dissertation news, because I have no social life for the next 2 months anyways, my supervisor emailed me back. she liked the majority of what I'd done but said that I needed to add in an extra chapter aside from my historiography explaining more about the social situation surrounding the need for baby farming, and mentions of it in 19th century literature (Adam Bede, Oliver Twist etc.) and then lead on about the Infant life protection act as a way to combat the rise of the trade. Then I'm on to Amelia Dyer... The chapter that will absolutely kick ass... Yeah, only I will even appreciate my dissertation but it's still worth getting a little bit excited over!!! I'm also struggling with my dedication page... It's not meant to be that important, but it is to me. I don't want just a list of names, I think I want an appropriate message for each person. I have one for Chris, and I think I have one for my mum, but apart from that I have no idea!

Let's dance in style let's dance for a while, Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies, Hoping for the best but expecting the worst, Are you gonna drop the bomb or not? Let us die young or let us live forever, Don't have the power but we never say never, Sitting in the sandpit life is a short trip, Music's for the sad man Can you imagine when this race is run, Turn our golden faces into the sun, Praising our leaders getting in tune, The music's played by the mad man Forever young, I wanna be forever young, Do you really wanna live forever? Forever forever Forever young, I wanna be forever young, Do you really wanna live forever? Forever forever   Some are like water some are like the heat, Some are the melodies some are the beat, Sooner or later they'll all be gone, Why don't they stay young? It's hard to get old without a cause, I don't want to perish like a fading voice, Youth is like diamonds in the sun, And diamonds are forever, So many adventures couldn't happened today, So many songs that we forgot to play, So many dreams swinging out in the blue, We let them come true

So...

Wow,

I haven't been on here in AGES to update properly... I have some rather lovely photos of Berlin and ofa few nights out... OH and of London Fashion Weekend! I just don't have ANY time - the end of third year uni has TAKEN OVER MY LIFE!

I have a research project and a dissertation to do.. I've even cleared off the dining table so I can sit there and not look out of the window - clearly window watching should be a sport..
