same old and some words of wisdom

I came back to uni on the 7th of Jan,

but ever since the start of the New Year I have frantically been trying to

complete the numerous amounts of assignments and revise for two exams.

In four days it shall all be over, and I will not be waking up until after midday on Thursday

- this for me is a huge thing; my body does not lie in. But I can already feel this one coming!

I could post a photo of my floor filing system, which you guys have already seen,

or the copious amounts of tea cups that are currently littering my bedroom.

But I won't, as I feel my blog will soon become a collection of photos of paper and cups.

Instead, I shall share with you this photo:

This is a picture I took last week of the sunset by Portsmouth Pier.

Somehow I found to time to take a little walk along the seafront, around four,

just as the sun was starting to set and the air was beginning to crisp up again.

And it calmed me down. I should start doing this more often.

And I recommend it to anyone; 

you might not be lucky enough to have a seafront five mins from your house,

but go somewhere. A forest, a field, a park, anywhere where you can take a few minutes

from these crazy hectic lives that we live and just be.

That is my wisdom for today.

Now excuse me, I am going to hibernate beneath my paper and teacups

and not surface for another four days when this will ALL be over.

See you on the other side!

as november draws to a close...

November is coming to an end and December looms closer!

For once I'm actually really excited for Christmas,

usually I get annoyed at the thought of Christmas in November.

I'm enjoying the cold, crisp morning walks to Uni,

and wearing my woolly knitted  cardigans.

And coming home after a long day in lectures to a hot cup of tea

and my cosy thick pyjamas and snuggly slippers! 

I've enjoyed November,

but bring on December!!

tea is a saviour in disguise

This is currently the extent of my life right now.

A big pile of unfinished work,

a cup of tea,

and my slow cooker recipe book.

Also, please note the gloves,

it's very cold in my huge, lofty student house,

and we can't yet afford to have heating.

Hence the gloves!

I have my first big hand in of second year coming up.

Meaning, this is the first piece of work which actually counts toward my degree.

We've all repeated this scary bit of information

and freaked ourselves out.

So I'm being a bit of a social recluse until it's done.

But I have some exciting posts and a very exciting week once it's handed in!

I'll keep you posted!!
