Personal:
George and I have mutually decided to end our relationship. We are no longer suited to be together in that way, but this summer we hope to try to be friends. I feel weird, but I know that it is the right thing to do, and so does he. We still care about one another, but not in the same way. So I'm okay, and so is he, and we couldn't have asked for a better break up. It could have, and possibly should have, been much worse. But there was too much happiness in our relationship for us to ever let it end with pain to mar the memories.

National:
UKIP are gaining power, proving the ignorance and perhaps the fatigue of this country.
Gove, the fool, has decided to remove novels of American canon from the National syllabus and focus on British pre-20th Century Literature. I cannot express my frustration with the fact that many students will now be put off studying literature, and those who do will not learn about the history and vibrancy of another country and its words. Words are so powerful, it is a great shame to limit those that are read.
