So this is the end of summer, and I sit at my desk a little melancholy.

Not because the end of summer brings about the start of term, with a new load of students. I am actually quite looking forward to this. Indeed, this year, I have added responsibilities. And project students to supervise. My first time supervising. I am delighted to have the opportunity to supervise projects.

No. It isn’t so much that it’s the end of summer. It’s the summer it’s the end of, really. Indeed, this summer had me going to Loncon3 (http://www.loncon3.org/index.php) and Shamrokon (http://www.shamrokon.ie).  Both conventions were fantastic and to be honest, overshadow most of the rest of August. Even though, the month did bring about a very interesting research avenue for me. Something I just might bore you with at a later date. Because I find it really cool. Obviously, the aftermath of conventions always make me want to write, draw and read. So I’ve been catching up on some graphic novel reading (Lucifer, Constantine, Avant l’Incal, La Licorne, to name only a couple). I’ve also tried to reduce the amount of TV I’m watching. Because in fairness, binge watching Revolution may not have been the smartest thing to do (although I’m pretty sure that it’s the only way I could’ve sat through both seasons, I could write a whole book on what’s wrong about this show, and NO, I do not mean the science, which isn’t even worth mentioning).

It’s September and I won’t go home before Christmas; I won’t see my boyfriend before Christmas. So I will have to content with reading and drawing and perhaps a little writing if I find the time for it. I will eventually decide to catch up on Doctor Who and see where Peter Capaldi has taken the role. I loved Matt Smith’s doctor so much that I haven’t been able to face the change yet. And after all, ThoughtBubble (http://thoughtbubblefestival.com/) is still to come.

This is a very disjointed blog post, but I am also trying to have one out every week and I am already failing miserably. ^_^ Perhaps another reason, I sit at my desk a little melancholy.
