Blog Every Day April/August (known as BEDA) is exactly what it sounds like; you write one blog post every day for a month. I, however, wanted to do this in September - so welcome to day one of BEDS.
There's a lot I want to talk about this month -- most notably Camp NaNoWriMo (but more about that tomorrow) -- and there are a lot of posts I've been meaning to write for a while. For the most part, expect the four Open University blogs I promised, some book reviews, an update on what I've been writing lately, and some inexplicable ramblings about language and unusual words.
I've essentially spent my summer writing and worrying about university. Unsurprisingly, I've finally decided that I'm going to study English Literature at uni, and the list of universities I want to apply for is very nearly complete. I'm going to an open day at University College London on Monday, though I don't think I'll end up applying there because of the price of accommodation.
In tandem with my decision to study English came the realisation that, besides Shakespeare, I've never read anything written before 1800. I'm currently trying to become more well-read both from older books and from 20th century novels, in preparation for university.
So happy September everyone, and I look forward to writing twenty-nine more blog posts.
