I know, I know, I have gone totally slack with this blog. If I'm honest it is because I am completely lazy! I haven't forgotten about it, in fact every day I scold myself, telling myself that I said I would post every day, even if I bored people to the point they tore their own hair out. But unsurprisingly, my efforts dropped.
OK, so updates. I have recently chosen my modules for next year: Children's literature and Writer as Teacher, both for the second semester, so during the first I will be doing the mandatory poetry and script writing, along with prose and there is some other ones in there I completely can't remember! The Children's lit attracted me because of the reading list and the study of the psychology behind books written for kids. Some of the books we look at are Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter 3, The Illustrated Mum, Noughts and Crosses and, the one that cracks me up every time, Bumface! (yes yes I know, I'm childish). With Writer as Teacher, we go out to schools or community groups and run our own writing workshops, which terrifies me to my soul, but that's what I want to do when I finally get out of this place (uni) and get into real life. So I've got to start somewhere, right?
Erm, wow, the last book I reported on appears to be the Millennium Trilogy. Well, since then I have finished the MONSTER that is Under the Dome by Stephen King and, just finished tonight, American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis both of which were very good. American Psycho very detailed and gory, much worse than the film, but still great. The next book on my reading list is The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, by Stephen King.
I went up home for the weekend last week, first time since being back from Christmas. It was great but it was way too short. I miss home already and if I am honest, I cant wait until April to be back there for summer. I'm starting to hate being down here because I am just so out of the loop with home. I miss that life and this one here isn't good enough to make up for it. Roll on the end of uni I say!
At this particular moment this is all I can think of to report and, it being 1:23 am, I would like to go to sleep. So, goodnight.
