"Facebook status update: I'm pregnant!" - The... →
Before I begin, it’s only fair that I say that I am in a grumpy mood as far as babies go. Last night my neighbours decided to let their child, who I can only assume is at teething age, to cry (squeal) for half an hour at five in the morning on my most stressful day of the week. The walls aren’t thick and I’ve heard we’re (as human beings) evolutionarily designed to wake up...

It is
31 days, 21 hours, 57 minutes, 31 seconds until Ryan and I are on a plane to Munich and it cannot come soon enough.

Save UEA Music →

On the verge of a burnout.
I have too much admin.
Too much marking.
Too many seminars to plan for.
Too many lectures to write.
