heard the leaks :( goodbye kingsmeadow south stand i will miss you forever </3

I’ve just done my reference list and i’ve cited 55 things in 1600 words. genuinely i’m impressed with myself. Trust that I will have missed the 1 item my assessor decides is seminal though

1500 limit, 10% allowance takes us to 1650. Technically no penalty for being over but 256 of my 1728 words are citations. I hate it here

APA 7th in-text citations combine with a word count limit to punish students who are well read.

seeing everyone get off the tube for the landmarks half marathon REALLY makes me want to enter the ballot, but april 2027 i will be in the TRENCHES of second year assessments :( not sure how I’d manage a training plan around that :/

*someone who has flunked their new year’s resolution so far*

As a person who was diagnosed with autism 4 years ago but still sometimes questions my validity as autistic, nothing has confirmed it to me like this conference.

Sorry to the mutuals I have that I did not build the courage/energy to *actually speak* to.

Still had a lovely time, hope you all did!

Thank you! Managed to find some of my audacity and got myself a bit more stuck in on Days 2&3 - had a fab time!
