I'm having a whale of a time studying this so come say salve anytime if u like this sort of stuff - or any of the stuff tagged xxx I firmly believe in unaesthetic academia (or chaos so to speak but I like to think it has purpose) - I love my reading and my degree and my subject so let's just enjoy our work!!!! maybe sometimes i need reminding abt why I love my degree, because I'm sick of my work, but I don't think I could ever go into anything else...

Some summarised info abt me

~ I'm Arti, and I'm 20

~ I'm a Christian

~ I study Classics at Cambridge (in the UK :D) - which is predominantly what I talk abt

~ I v much love classics and always enjoy my classics and talking abt classics <3
