I have a £12 library fine. And what for? For forgetting to bring in a DVD I borrowed over the weekend. I think it is totally unfair to charge me £12 for handing in something one day late. Especially when the majority of the fine happened in a time when I couldn't even return the thing if I wanted to (which I did). I just had to watch the money trickle away...who even wants to watch the BBC adaptation of Henry VIII?

No one.

I know this is ranty, but seriously, I could have bought the DVD for that. Or enough food to last me a few days. And now I have nothing. Might meet my Dad today though, maybe he will give me some lunch or something. I feel so poor. :~(

"The circle of human knowledge, illuminated by the pale, cold light of reason, is so infinitesimally small, the dark regions of human ignorance which lie beyond that luminous ring so immeasurably vast, that imagination is feign to step up to the borderline and send the warm, richly colored beams of her fairy lantern streaming out into the darkness ; and so, peering into the gloom, she is apt to mistake the shadowy reflections of her own figure for real beings moving in the abyss.

I'm a 23 year-old student in London Cambridge London, studying English Literature Law. It's hard to really think of anything truly personal I can put here that might give you some idea of who I am, so I will just tell you that my favourite Shakespeare play is Richard II, my favourite chocolate bar is Snickers, and I have a bit of a thing for instant coffee, especially if someone else makes it for me.

I'm interested in Renaissance Literature, Higher Education policy, and libraries.
I'm completely in love with a Scottish girl.
