Why do people love Costa?
I found out a few days ago that Costa gives clients free slice of cake (or muffin, shortbread or other sweet treat) on their birthday, you just need Costa app to claim it. I’m not a big Costa lover but I thought I’d give it a try. I downloaded the app and went for my…

Very grey thinking
I imagined yesterday evening that I was practicing grey thinking. It felt very easy and I had the impression that I could master it and then, when I tried to think about writing my next uni assignment, I immediately started feeling tense again. I presume the fact that I don’t insist on leaving my uni…

Always playing a devil’s advocate
According to Cambridge dictionary a devil’s advocate is ‘someone who pretends, in an argument or discussion, to be against an idea or plan that a lot of people support, in order to make people discuss and consider it in more detail’ I just finished a meeting with two tutors from my uni and it was…

I didn’t pass my first assignment
I just checked. The pass mark was 50% and I received 45%. I don’t actually know what was wrong with it, I can’t find any feedback. Possibly the problem was that I criticised a theory I was meant to praise; I don’t know, I didn’t find an explanation for it. And anyway if that was…

It’s so difficult for me right now. Part of me screams I should continue my study. Why? Because I started it. And possibly also because John really liked the idea of me studying for a masters. But I can’t do it, you know? Every time I try to think about writing my assignment my mind…

I’m not satisfied with my uni course
I was typing about it earlier on and I even considered if the problem is possibly that I am in fact bipolar. I mean I keep changing my mind too quickly. And then I suddenly felt like I knew what I wanted to do. I stopped typing and emailed our tutor asking for refund. The…

I miss my mum (again)
I remember, I said a few days ago that I’m not grieving any more but I do miss her. She would be my best cheerleader, now when I’m studying at uni. I imagine that I call her and what she would say. She’d most likely would be like ‘that’s very good, that’s very good’. I…
