Well, time has caught up with us at last, the summer is over and we're back at university. Scheduling is playing cruel jokes on us as usual with two nine o clock starts wreaking havoc on our nocturnal student systems. I write this post from the library separated from my partner in blogging crime as I should be in a lecture right now. However life is once again out to get me as my bus broke down on the way to Newcastle meaning that I missed the first lecture of the module. Great start to the term, I know. Alll in all though it hasn't been too bad as our modules are considerably more fun this year with the focus on vampires and sci-fi being a particular highlight. I guess I could be doing dissertation prep right now but my heart just isn't in it today, I already want to go back to sleep and start all over again. But onto more important things.......
Ruth.

Introductions, Welcomes and Such Things
We are both studying English Literature at Northumbria University, which is a major distraction from the really important things in life like Desperate Housewives, sitting down in comfortable chairs (which are sadly lacking in our uni) and writing novels.
Nicola lives in Heaton, Newcastle (the crime capital of the North-East), but is originally from Bishop Auckland. She owns more clothes than is humanly possible, is completely obsessed with Marilyn Monroe and has a small menagerie of rodents. She writes novels and poetry about current issues such as eating disorders, angst-ridden teens and other depressing subjects.
Ruth lives in Stockton-on-Tees (unfortunately) which has literally nothing to add to the world. She is a crazy Arsenal fan but loves all football (and footballers,) she also likes tennis, noodles and boys. She is attempting to write a gangster novel and draft a spy novel (with varying degrees of success) in between full-time WAG training.
Subjects you can expect in our blog are:
TV, trying to contradict the student stereotypes, complaining (a lot), especially about lectures and other students, the issues of public transport, a guide to Newcastle's buskers (with a focus on the progress of AndyDave and his hats), our WAG training (especially the great velour debate), updates on the progress of our novels and poems, film reviews, book reviews, some sport updates, some more complaining and negativity.
