The Ravings of a Classics Student

Ask me anything   Or rather a would be classics student, for I am only a lowly ancient historian and my lack of a decent grasp of Greek and Latin has led to an inferiority complex which manifests itself in this blog.

Follow my journey to a healthier me (even with the perils of being a student) here.

    I’m taking an interruption to studies. This means that all the work I did this year counts for nothing. I have to re-do second year now, subject to a letter from my doctor. But it’s better for my health, even if I was getting good grades. I’m mainly going to take different classes hopefully, because accidental self-plagiarism scares the bejeezus out of me.

    Further to my ‘Honesty’ post…

    I’m probably taking an interruption and resuming second year studies in September. Carrying on like this will break me. It took a lot of thinking to finally decide, but I had to swallow my pride and do what’s best for my health. After all, what’s graduating one year earlier if it’s at the detriment of my health?

    It’s not totally official yet, but hopefully will be soon.

I make a lot of procrastination drawings. They’re more interesting than work… T _ T

    Thankfully this never happens to me. I currently have 34 boxes of tea. And the collection is growing…

    Struggle to wake up on time?

    Get a cheap coffee maker (£10) and a timer switch (£4). Set the timer to turn on for when you want to wake up and make sure that the coffee maker is switched on if it has an additional on/off switch.

    Now enjoy ready-made coffee when you wake up. If you don’t like black coffee, just keep some creamer next to you mug. Bob’s your uncle. I’m going to try this with loose leaf tea tomorrow morning, but right now I definitely need the coffee hit!

    I’m working this evening, but I definitely need to start going to bed earlier! I struggle to get out of bed before midday…

    Just lost half a biscuit in my mug pool of tea. Bugger.

    It doesn’t matter how down I feel, this particular post makes me giggle.

    Thanks for the super helpful suggestion of an appropriate coal bunker. See, as a student who needed a cutlery drainer I am also in desperate need of a place to store all of my coal. Thanks for the heads up, random Amazon seller.
