Kate’s allegedly a human (although increasingly right-wing bigots would say otherwise). She’s definitely not a vampire, despite what some other people claim. She’s also mostly built out of spite and overcoming oppositional-sexism, racism, and other random bullshit.
So she’s either a human or a lizard in disguise sent to destroy all of humanity.
Either way, she’s here to reassure that it’s all fine.

Those who would sacrifice essential liberties for a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
“Sometimes we may have to modify some of our own freedoms in the short term in order to prevent their misuse and abuse by those who oppose our fundamental values and would destroy all of our freedoms in the modern world,” – John Reid Sometimes I’m very scared by the world I find myself living…

A bucket load more cheerful
I got offered a post on a gen-medical ward (endo and rheumatology) – this is definately an improvement. That’ll do so.

Now accepting suggestions…
So, I’m now accepting suggestions for operating systems for my Dell Laptop. It’s a 450ish Mhz CPiA laptop with (quite a lot) of memory (256Meg?). I’ve tried Ubuntu. Ubuntu: – Out of the ‘box’ it failed to boot twice – Fails to work with my network card (I’ve tried everything they suggest, with the exception…

I wanted to love Ubuntu
I really did. But I’ve just reentered a world remenicent of SuSE Linux as I left it 2 years ago: I want to install a network card. Follow instructions: Edit config files. Discover it doesn’t work. Read manual further; if it doesn’t work install software X. Locate software X. Download software X . Go to…

Raining on my parade
So, given the interview on Tuesday I decided that covering myself in oily gunk that’s hard to remove is probably not the best plan. No, instead, a relaxing evening of experimenting with linux on my laptop. Now, you may not realise this, but my laptop has been a source of some frustration; Windows 98 is…

Okay. I’m done.
I am terrified. I’m not normally terrified, but having failed once, I’m now really unsure about these essays. But I’ve just e-submitted them, I’ll be posting the final submissions through the boxes at UWE tomorrow morning (they’re not open now). And frankly, I’m scared witless, there’s relief, sure, but it’s tinged with OHMYFUCKINGGODness. Which is…

300 words from freedom
Well, hopefully. Thing is, I’m still not sure if this is what they want, is it too descriptive? Does it truly evaluate anything? Problem is, I’m sick of it. I was sick of it when I first wrote it, I think it’s “a load of old shite”, and this time round I’m still sick of…

I appear to have spent the day driving.
So I went to the interview; lovely hospital, nice staff, looks like a nice ward. Interesting area, definately good. I think it went quite well, in so far as I can tell – I felt that I connected well with the staff, the answered the questions fairly well – of course I thought of better…

Lacking Empathy
So, I’m at the end of my nursing course – as I’m sure you’re all painfully aware. I have two essays to resubmit, one of which I’m now fairly certain is a pass, at least (“I’m amazed at how much better this essay is” although I’m not sure if I’ve included how much reflection is…
