Two things
OK, enough of the mopiness, sorry about that! Tis a tad ridiculous and probably a result of letting out of stress from end of exams and boredom from everyone else still being busy with them. Let's move on.
In fact, I think that naming tomorrow 'New Start Friday' may be a good idea. No more moping, no more arguing with Trev, not more lying around in/on my bed all day and being lazy.
On a side point, if I applied to an MA at Oxford, just to see if I could get in, would that be silly? Because the reason I didn't apply to do my BA there was because I didn't want to end up doing just German, I wanted to do joint German/Music (for full explanations, see my posts from the second half of 2005). And ever since actually starting uni and ending up doing 'just German' (which I've been perfectly happy with), I've always felt kind of... well, like I wish I'd applied, because now I'll never know if I would have been successful or not. And whilst most of me is fed up with being a student, there is a part of me that would love to have both KCL and Oxford on my CV (ie, my Grandad's and my Dad's unis.) I don't know. My brain just keeps coming back to the idea, is all, and they do a masters in European Film that looks really interesting... It's just, when I don't really have an interest in becoming an academic, is there any point in spending all that money on a (fairly pointless really in terms of jobs) humanities masters? On the other hand, if I DID decide later in life that I wanted to do a PhD (which seems to also be a family thing) then I would need a masters, probably... so would it be better to do it now? And there's just something about Oxford that really makes me want to do it.
I guess I could move to France for a year and THEN do a masters.
More to the point, is this a horribly pretentious post? Heh. It kind of goes against what I wrote the other day... oh well.

And go for the masters at Oxford if you can, I'd say. It's no less pointless in job terms than a gap year, and I think you'd find it very rewarding. I came up to Oxford after being an undergrad elsewhere, and got so much out of the masters and from the whole environment. I'm not sure I'd want to spend my whole career there, but it's a wonderful place to be all the same.

Also thank you for providing me with links to your music. I haven't yet had the time to be online long enough, but I will listen and leave a comment soon, promise!
Now, go relax and enjoy your study break.
