My midterms are over! Especially this last week was quite stressful, with the deadline for my research paper on Friday. But I made it, and I’m quite pleased with how my essay turned out. Now it’s just waiting for the grade… I hate that part. Anyway, now that the stress has subsided, I finally have time to […]

One more week until I’m done with my midterms… But until then I’ll be working hard on my final essay for the Contemporary Writing course I’ve told you about before.

This week my midterms started, which in my case basically always means a whole load of stress, even if I don’t have that much to do.

A chance sighting on a bus; a letter which should never have been read; a pianist with a secret that touches the heart of her music… An Equal Music is a book about love, about the love of a woman lost and found and lost again; it is a book about music and how the love of […]

I love music. I love singing, I love playing guitar and I’ve always, always, got a song stuck in my head (at the moment it’s Miley Cyrus’s “Wrecking Ball”, unfortunately, although I think this cover is really beautiful). However, I prefer working in silence. For my studies I have to read a lot, and I get distracted quite […]
