disaster strikes

So bad news: Hermes, my faithful five month old laptop, has bitten the dust (quite literally; I opened him up and he was covered in it) and I've written my last word on his grotty keyboard.

He is still under warranty, but whether that means Toshiba will pay to get him fixed or not, I don't know. The unfortunate news is, until then, I am officially computer-less (apart from the library computers, where I'm currently writing from)...

The truly unfortunate news is that means, of course, my writing's gonna suffer a delay; the really truly unfortunate news is that I am now reeeeally scraping around for a means to write my final Critical Theory essay of the year...a healthy sixty percent of my module.

Put simply: ahhhhh!

In better news, I have planned my dissertation topic (a study of the role of myth and magic in the creation of the feminine role in the novels of Angela Carter) and recieved the definite green light from the university I'm studying at in Canada next year. So chocks away in that respect. I leave on the 1st September this year and I'm definitely not scared.

So pleeease be patient with me...I will still be writing when I can find the time with exams, essays, and computer access, but until I get a laptop of my own again, things are uncertain!

PEACE xx

Yeah, it's a nightmare! I write so much generally that being laptopless is driving me to the edge...

Though honestly, this is probably good for me in terms of my exams. I'm doing so much more reading! Some of the American literature on my course this semester has been really astonishing.

And I look forward to taking a gander at that song when I'm next at a computer instead of on my phone! Until then...peace! Xxx
