I am a 20 year old English Literature and Philosophy student, in my third-year. My hobbies include the excessive consumption of curry, wotsits and caffeinated beverages. More or less everything else pales in comparison to that joyous trinity. Writing here should help me set some of my thoughts straight, as well as helping me to decide whether writing is something I am capable of doing as a career. What better way to do that than by pontificating monthly on the Internet and seeing what response I get? Hopefully most of my entries will not be vitriolic diatribes. But then, the world seems pretty absurd to me and in need of a good kicking. Being a student, though, my writing will have to suffice in place of a giant mechanical foot. Having said that, a large part of student life is having fun. And a student diary could not be complete without stories of people waking up dazed and confused, tied to an elephant by the big toe. Possibly I will overcome my penchant for melancholy and offer up such incidents for the reader's delectation. But mostly, I'll be revelling in the bitter ironies of life. Oliver Could you be a student diarist?
