...in a very long time.

I guess I have On Literature to thank for that... It's quite hard to get through, as the vocabulary is high register, but the concepts are really interesting and enlightening. I recommend it.

I've also got to give some credit to Phillip Larkin. I don't know why, just reading a little of his poetry inspired me, and his style prompted me to get back into my own.

I've got exams coming up, but they'll all be over in a matter of four (almost) consecutive days, so I'll have the rest of Study Leave to munch my way through my "fat stack of books for the summer". I went to a second hand book shop and bought ten yesterday. That made my previous spree of seven look pitiful. I think I'm going to have to convert the spare room in our house into a library, I've got so many I also hope to do some journalism-related work experience, like shadowing a journalist for a day. I have a couple of options, so hopefully I can make plans to get those done. I wrote an article for the school magazine, and really liked it. I'm thinking either book reviews, travel journalism, or both.

Anyway, I won't bore you with my aspirations I'll save those for my poetry.

Can't wait 'til the summer~
