Second to the right and straight on 'til morning

That's where I want to live. Growing up isn't fun. Growing up is stressful and confusing and I don't want to do it.

I am currently trying to narrow down my university choices and it is NOT EASY. There are too many universities to choose from and literally everywhere does English Literature, so that doesn't help at all.

I am currently surrounded by a daunting mound of prospectuses that represent a miniscule proportion of the country's universities, a lot of maps of the UK with different coloured writing on them to indicate how far the different places are from Liverpool and how long it takes to get there according to Google Maps, and my laptop to research anything that needs researching. I don't actually know what I'm doing with all this stuff and the only thing keeping me sane is watching 'Lost in Austen' (the BBC show about a woman who goes through a door in her house and finds herself in Pride and Prejudice) which I have on DVD.

I really need to read Pride and Prejudice. I feel like that sentence should end with 'again', but honestly, I need to read it a first time before I can read it again. I have watched so many adaptations and read so many books that are based on the story, but I have never actually sat down and read the original. That is something I'll do this summer. Along with reading the stack of books I brought home from my mum's work and all the books I got for my birthday and 'The Time-Traveller's Wife' which I've been set for school. And I need to get a job. There's a lot that I need to do and the more time I spend writing this blog, the less time I have to do it in.

So now I will go and carry on drowning in universities.

Bye
