ANISE I LOVE YOU.
.
I fail because I am worried about passing out and get dizzy due to low sugar... SO Fruit juice and calories and NO EXCUSES. BRILL. And something I have never done before - THUS I HAVE NEVER FAILED BEFORE- Which means (trust I know this from my dumb brain) that I am less likely to brake it (Like this no chocolate thing 0 not a sole drop of even the lightest hot chocolate for over a month and counting)
.
I love this idea. The only problem I had with it in the first place is not losing enough weight... Then I realise... lets look at this logically: I am not losing weight because YES I fast, THEN I BINGE. SO get a GRIP and try the DAMN thing. But 2 weeks. Because when I start something I prefer not to see the end for a while to get into the swing of it and get used to everything.
.
One rule: No large arse milkshakes that have 700 cals called 'Yoop!'. (Smaller smoothies in moderation)
.
I just JUST sent an email to my head of Russian... reading:
.
Hello!
.
Sorry to bother you in the Summer Holiday... again... this time I have a question - regarding MAs and further study.
.
I was really interested in looking into doing a Masters at Durham in Russian, firstly because I am not quite ready to give up studying and also as I realised how much I actually enjoyed Soviet Cinema and Reading Russian Literature- despite the challenge I faced with them at the time! (In my defence, I managed to get a first in them both in the end. To my GREAT surprise) Basically, I wondered if it were possible to do an MA with you (with the possibility of going to the next stage afterwards), or whoever best fit according to you my area of interest, and if I stood an actual chance of getting in? I know I am a ditzy girl that wears outrageous pink coats, but I do really enjoy studying and hope that it can play some role in my future career.
.
I don't know how specific it would have to be but the two things that I seem to have struck a particular liking to are...
.
Brief Encounters - Muratova and more generally the New Wave in Russian cinema
.
and also Dostoevsky's lesser known short texts - such as Gentle Creature.
.
I will leave it there for the moment, and I know I am asking fairly early... but I wanted to get my next year options sorted!!
.
Best,
Amanda

Now I know him fairly well, he knows about the Ed and the Self-harm and the Anti-depressents and all, so I can be informal with him...
.
NOW I WANT AN ANSWER!! I AM EXCITED!
.
I want both: maybe this is a good balance? x
