So I got a D in my English prelim which I'm more than a little disappointed by. I really thought i'd got at least a C. Hopefully I can sort myself out before the exam but I really don't feel like any of the stuff i'm going to hand in this year is going to be any good. I don't know if I should continue with the course.
So my RMPS prelim is today, wish me luck
In Journal of Scottish Thought, Vol.8: If Scotland ...Conjecturing 2014, ed. by Scott Hames and Adrian Hunter (pre-publication version)
This fantastic paper by Arianna Introna engages with some widely-held opinions following the Scottish Independence referendum in 2014. The author skillfully argues that the ‘missing scotland’, which did not participate in either indyref campaign, may be ignored or appropriated by a future discourse which engages in a ‘radical nostalgia’ for an indyref posited retrospectively as a platform for progressive politics. Instead, she urges us, we must interrogate the category ‘missing scotland’ and the interests behind the conceptualisation of such a category.
How would I cast my vote if I had one?
Unfortunately I know a lot of it is the American in me but I would vote yes if I was a citizen of Scotland. I believe with hard work and the right government Scotland could make it as an independent country. I think their commitment to green energy will eventually pay off and I would hate to see anyone but them get credit for that. There will be a lot of hardships along the way and it will be a very bumpy road but anyone willing to put the effort in and fight for it deserves a shot to have it.
Day 27
This morning we had a lecture from a member of Ukip and I have to say I was not impressed and very put off.. In the beginning he had me on his side about the EU but by the end of it I was so offended by what he had to say about immigration and green energy that I had no reason left to listen to him. He was the only member of a party that lashed out so offensively at another party. The SNP never called Ukip idiots they just explained their side of it. I was just very upset by the end of it and I did not enjoy it. BUT it is fourth of July so we went to the Hive. thats always a good time. It was a good way to end our night/time here for sure.
two worlds separated by the same language.

10 min walk= 45 min (lol)
