8:30 am. My phone alarm goes off. Technically, today started when I went to bed last night after midnight, so half eight is not ideal. So I ignore the alarm. Twice.
At half nine I finally drag myself out of bed. I have an exam this afternoon. I'm normally not a fan of afternoon exams. I end up spending the morning worrying, and I'd much rather get it over with quickly. This was kind of an exception. I really needed the sleep-in.
Shower. Yoghurt and muesli. Tea. Traditional Afternoon. White, one sugar. Hot. Laptop. Lectures. Last minute revision. Get distracted, watch Youtube.
This stream of consciousness thing is fun.
For lunch I think I'll have... guacamole. On toast. Yeeaaahh. That's the stuff.
Okay. My exam is at two, which means I should probably leave at 1-ish. I'm really, really underprepared, but at this point there's not a lot I can do. I can't stand those people who sit outside exam rooms panicking and and reading notes and textbooks and stuff. I tried that for my high school exams. All it did was make me stressed, and actually forget stuff. If you don't know it by five minutes beforehand, there's not a lot you can do.
(I got new sneakers, by the way. They look like this. They're awesome.)
Well, that went... okay. Two source analyses from... Odyssey book 4 and Aeneid book 12. Essay question on Greek guest laws in the Odyssey. And an essay question on Aeneas' piety. Here's a tip for you though: if you get a question in the exam which is the same as the question you just spent six weeks and 3000 words answering, it's probably not a good idea to try and refute the same argument in three pages and thirty minutes. I pity whoever gets to read that mess.
Seriously, that's all I've done today. I wrote some good essays, and some bad essays, and then I went home. This really is the worst possible time for this topic to come up. My life is all studystudyprocrastinatestudystudyEXAMstudystudyprocrastinatestudyEXAM.
Speaking of procrastinate, Star Trek is on. (Seriously, best thing about digital TV: one of the stations fills all their new programming space on Thursday nights with three straight hours of Next Generation reruns. And Saturday is Voyager reruns. It's brilliant.)

An update on life and general ramblings
So, this weeks theme is "Freestyle", which instantaneously makes me think about skateboards, about which I know nothing about ...
I'm sat here with a grilled cheese sandwich made of awesome, and somewhat resembling a toad (I have a throat infection and my glands are up so it looks like I have no neck - GIVE ME SYMPATHY :P), not really knowing what to write. I'm just going to type and see what comes up on the computer screen :)
So this weekend, I'm going home for the weekend from Uni, to see my parents, brothers and le boyfriend. I have a fun 3 hour journey ahead of me yay! However I'm very very excited, as it's my parents ruby wedding anniversary on Sunday (40 years), and my Mum's 60th Birthday on Monday (which sadly I will be missing).
It'll be nice to see my Brothers, whom I haven't seen since Christmas time, and to unwind a little bit as University has been quite full on the last few weeks.
Speaking of University, I got my results for my January exams this week! I passed everything, which in itself is a miracle, but not only that, I did pretty well. Just goes to show, that hard work actually does pay off :) All I have to do now, is try and figure out what modules I want to do next year which is going to be a mighty task for me. I had a scary meeting with my personal tutor yesterday (the lecture who is responsible for looking after me). There was a lot of talking about to life after University and how for most people, it's only next year we'll be looking for jobs! Even though I plan to study for an extra year, it's still scary that thinking in about 2 1/2 years time, I'm going to have a real job, and real responsibilities...
So, I think that's all of my news, etc for the time being. Just as a prior warning, I might be absent from the blog over the next couple of weeks as I have a LOT on with Uni and stuff, but I will try to spread my awesome none the less.
I hope you're all having spiffing weeks, cheerio for now, and DFTBA ;)
