- Five classes i took at university: Literature in the French Reformation 🥰 The Presidency of Andrew Jackson 😬 Dutch revolt & golden age 😃 Birth of Western Society 🙂 (our tutors were ace, even if I'm no medievalist) The foundations of modern historical thought 🧐
- Honorable mentions - history of the French language. Tuesdays at 9am, absolute nightmare slot, tedious AF but had been so useful over the years. Europe in the age of nationalism and total war - our lecturer was really not in the best place and once gave us the same lecture 4 weeks in a row
- And that's still 100 times better than the guy who was not allowed to have one on one tutorials with girls. Had to pair up with a lad if you wanted essay feedback or sit with the door open. Ah, the 90s.
- Submitted The Thing! Now to peel myself and my nervous system carefully off the ceiling.
- The only deadline Ettie cares about is the deadline for sweeties.
- Hahahahaha sob. Yup, well, at least I know myself.
- Marking + talk last week + deadlines for chapters before and after Christmas = I am basically 95% bread, cake and biscuits right now. I really wish writing & marking didn't make me so hungry. Occasionally this can be offset with walks to get the juices flowing but not v enticing in this weather.
