I have told a couple of my friends on here, nearly everyone in my RL and several people in my family - but I have been offered places at two universities to do my Masters, namely King's College London and Birkbeck, UoL. I have until the 30th to get back to KCL about whether I accept or decline so I am having to force myself to sit down and *think* for once about what to do.
It would be to study Medieval Studies @ or Medieval Literature and Theory @ Birkbeck. Both courses are effectively the same thing, so it really comes down to which university is best.
Naturally the choice will ultimately be mine but I have this nasty habit of asking people's opinions about which one *they* think is better and then when they tell me I feel the pressure of, "Oh no! What if I disappoint *insert name here*?" when I really shouldn't care.
Anyway, if anyone knows anything about either college or has some insight/wisdom to share, go ahead and let me know. Otherwise, I'm hoping that over this weekend I'll finally have a concrete answer. Again, I have until the 30th... which means I want to have my choice in by the 28th/29th. Eep.

Working progresses :P Also, Birthday.
So, it's my birthday on Sunday. In case some of the oldies who knew me back when are keeping score I still tend to get sad on my birthday.
I hadn't expected to get the second Val picture done because around 6pm it looked like this:
I actually tried to capture the whole process but I completely mucked up the screen capture process so I ended up capturing the wrong screen. Oh well, maybe next time.
Also, I'm working on a short origin piece for Zoe the Snivy (my semi-mascot around here). That's taking longer because I need to draw proper backgrounds again.
I have other bits and bobs lying around too but not sure what I'm going with them yet.
New name, new start.
I left DeviantArt for over a year.
Actually, I pretty much left most places on the internet. I'm only just getting back into it. I don't really want to go into all the details as to why as they are personal. The best thing to come out of that year-and-a-bit was that I actually managed to finish my Masters degree. Regardless, there was a lot going on and it has only been the last few months where I felt ready to get back into the things I used to do and enjoy.
Brexit and what it means to me
Hey, Sophie! Aren't you British?
Yep.
Got thoughts on the Brexit?
I guess.
Considering that I am British and we just had a potentially Earth-shattering, shaking and shocking referendum after which we opted to say "cheerio" to the broken dream that is the single-market of Europe. That is what the United Kingdom initially joined for, after all.
Twice we applied. It seemed like an absolutely amazing idea.
Then EU stopped being solely about trade/regulations and everything about an undemocratic big government. We found ourselves voting in MEPs to sit in the European Parliament and yet had no idea of what their purpose is. It seems the idea
Happy Day-After April Fools Day
I always skip the day itself because I never have a good prank to pull on anyone. One day I will think of a good one and trick you all, if only for a brief second. I'll take advantage of the time zone different between myself or my American fans or whatever.
Either way, let me quickly (and randomly) share with you all my favourite April Fools jokes from one of the channels I follow on Youtube. It's by JelloApocalypse and it is so good, you'll wish it was a real thing:
Got to admit that I love a good Abridged Series parody/episode/whatever.
Enjoy!
