Ok, nobody on here has asked that, but a girl can dream. I'm midway through the first week of the first semester of the first year of uni. It's been pretty awesome actually, far more my cup of tea than high school was (also I've drunk more tea in 3 days than I have in 3 years.. but that's a different tale all together). Had three lectures so far, each had their merits and frustrations.

Academic Cultures:
+ A course where even in the lectures we're expected to work in groups for little tasks
+ Problem Based Learning- more fun than I expected
- The actual content is infinitely dull, but I can't drop it as it's a prerequisite for most writing subjects

Linguistics:
+ The lecturer is a really engaging person, and makes it easy for people to understand what we're supposed to learn
- I can barely understand any of the concepts in the readings

Approaches to English Literature:
+ The texts we'll be studying are all what I'd consider my favourites
+ Most of what we'll be covering concept-wise are things I already know from prior literature studies so it'll be a more relaxing unit than the others
- I kept getting distracted by the lecturer 'umm'ing...

Now, I believe by this point you're going to start to think "Ah, I know this spiel well. She states something major in her life and then begs forgiveness for not posting any art. It's really at the point where I can't remember her writing style, so it doesn't make a difference." or something similar. This is where I tell you that such thinking is completely wrong. I'm doing an arts degree, which means plenty of time. And I'm majoring in writing and media production, which means any creative output will be posted at some point. Now with a hell of a lot of time and obligations to do a lot of writing and work with other mediums, that seems like the perfect combination to get some work out of me.

Obviously, it won't be perfect, a lot of what you will be seeing will be scraps I come up with in breaks, or rejects for the media production unit (which I'm starting the lecture for tomorrow!). But practice makes perfect, and I hope that maybe once I reboot my output levels I'll be back to my former glory (ie: Having most of my watchers actually pay attention to my work like they used to 2 and a half years ago).

So you'll be seeing a lot of me in the coming months, and I hope I shall exceed your expectations in wonderful ways.

Hoping you're all doing well with yourselves!

A 17 year old girl from Sydney, I am a mixture of bubbly/outdoorsy and pessimistic introvert. Mostly "specialising" in writing, though I dabble in visual media too. I spend most of my free time with a book in hand, whether it be of my own creation or by another. My social life mostly revolves around coffee and delicious food, which I probably can't afford for much longer with my student-poverty. A self proclaimed expert on what constitutes as good tv and comedy, and a little bit obnoxious. But always trying to improve my work. So it all works out!

I know this is going to be random, but I kinda miss your writing. :P Wish the HSC is over so we can write more again.

Thanks :) I have recently been pining for the days when I'd wake up and think "You know, I feel like starting a novel today". I got the best idea the other day and the best I could do was write all I could of an outline and stick it on my corkboard for me to look at in December... I only ever write at writers group now... And even then I am searching for ways for it to work for one of the englishes...

I hate year 12.

You do check dA! :P

Gahh hate when that happens. I actually got this year's NaNo idea a couple of weeks ago. It was a freezing morning, I was at a train station and boom the idea came. If I don't come up with anything better that will be the idea I shall go with in November. Which would be the earliest an idea for Nano has ever come for me. Most of the time it's been late October. =P But yeah, I just had an overly creative day where I came up with at least twelve different ideas for a story. :faint:

It'll be over in five months! Less, actually.

Almost daily :P

I got my NaNo idea early this year... It's the first in a fantasy trilogy, and I have essentially, a novel per month after than for abut 2 1/2 years.

Yeah, it's kinda freaky. This is our last term.
