Ooooh, good luck for your results! I've got all my fingers crossed for you. Have you got your copy of 'Sigurd and Gudrun'? It really is an impressive bit of writing (in my opinion!). Let me know how you get on. Take care :o)
Tall? That's almost certainly me then. Yeah, the exams have been fairly hellish - but there over now! As for confidence, I'm hovering on the 1st, 2:1 boundary, so things are a little bit tense. Ah yes, 'Sigurd and Gudrun' - I've ordered a copy of amazon as a present to myself for finishing the exams - I really can't wait, it sounds fascinating!
Most odd. You're taller than I expected! I handed in an essay this week too. What a feeling of RELIEF! Are you confident about your work? About taking your exam? I think you'll sail through, you seem like the type. MA land is good, I'm back into my dissertation now which is fun. I got Tolkien's 'Sigurd and Gudrun' through the post the other day and my plan for tonight is to settle down with much tea and start reading. I'm EXCITED!
It's quite possible that you did - quite a strange feeling, eh? As for essays, its one down, one to go, and an exam to sit, and then graduation. Yeesh. Anyway, I went home for the bank holiday, so I've got a wee bit of catching up to do - how are things going is MA-land?
Hey! How're things going? Are your assessed essays going ok/finshed? Do you have to sit any exams or anything? I'm sure I saw you at uni the other day... it was strange! EP xx
Family are nice, but I'm looking forward to getting back tomorrow - back into the swing of things! Plus, I do need to visit the library PDQ - why does some nimrod always feel the need to request books I've taken home with me!?! I think my library fine is pretty much keeping the Uni going...
Alas not! I went to my mum's for a bit, then to my gma's for a few days to see her and my dad... Family ARE wonderful, but maybe not for extended periods of time. I was pretty glad to get back to the library!!
I know! Pointless, isn't it? It really screws up the revising period too... Yes, I'm at home at the moment - taking advantage of my creature comforts! Yourself?
Hello! How goes it? Are you back home for the Easter hols? I have a question - why do we have a weird 3 week term after Easter? THREE WEEKS?!!?
'Norseome' - now that's a term I like! My tutor always uses the phrase 'Norsetastic', but I think this might replace it! I know the feeling - I first encountered Old Norse two years ago, and fell madly in love with it. The language is fascinating - I'm useless at languages, but it is seriously worth the effort. I particularly love Eddaic poetry (hence my screen name!). Yeah, some of my friends (even the classical civilization types) accuse me of being geeky and roll their eyes. I'm doing a BA in English at Leeds Uni, where we also have an Old-Norse Reading Group (also known as the Dead Vikings Society), so there are lots of us who can be geeky together about it!
