2 Days.
I just had a weird moment where, as I was walking up the stairs singing a song in my head, I get within earshot of my computer which is playing the same song at the exact same point in the song.
The first part isn’t really strange as it was playing when I went downstairs, but I always try and keep a song going in my head to reconvene nicely when I get back and I always end up behind or...

Shit just got serious.
It’s 4am and I’ve almost passed out from the heat, so this will be a short one.
I can’t believe how quickly time passes, and yet how long a year feels. It seems like only yesterday I was just starting university, but at the same time I feel like this has been my way of life, I’ve had these friends, I’ve been in this routine for an age.
Maybe...

One week.
I’ve found relief from my stresses about money in the form of overdrafts and student bank accounts, i.e. I’m going to get one.
Probably a year late.
Now that exams are over, I find myself unsure what to do with my time. The procrastination was worth it before; I was doing nothing productive because the alternative was making some sort of effort.
But now there’s no...

I’m having a strange day.
I awoke at 6:30 this morning, or Gravedigger’s biscuits as it is commonly known, and couldn’t get back to sleep. It was a mixture of light and anxiety about running out of money. The sooner that Star Trek finance-free utopia arrives, the better.
And so I decided to get up and get breakfasted before my dad had even risen from his pit to start his...

Halfway through exams.
Today’s didn’t warrant a celebratory Mars bar as my lack of revision resulted in a potential loss of 33% of the marks.
But the rest was easy enough to end up in another exit half an hour ahead of schedule.
In the next exam we’ve figured out we only need 12% to pass the module so I’m not too fussed about that either.
Unfortunately, it’s on a...

The day of my second exam. The tension is building. The stress levels are at an all time high. Tiredness, overworking, anxiety - it all starts to kick in.
Not for me, though. I played more Batman and watched more of The Office.
Good times.
It worked on Monday. I finished the exam early and treated myself to a celebratory Mars bar and bag of Skittles.
Overconfident?
Maybe.
Overestimating my...

In 3 weeks I’ll finally be out of here.
… 10 minutes walk away.
The irony is not lost on me.
It’s not the town I want to get away from, it’s just living in this house with these people. My mum got pissed off earlier because I took my cereal to my room. She was worried about me spilling milk and it smelling. It didn’t help the situation when I told her I’d...

Almost missed it; it’s past midnight, but screw it.
This is pretty much a diary now.
I’m pretty sure the safest place to keep any personal information is on a Tumblr that doesn’t reblog 20 gifs a day.
I’m currently watching the US Office, and it’s really making me hate Steve Carrell, because he’s just so damn good at being annoying in this show.
The sole...

I’m almost at the breaking point with revision.
The past papers were hard, so I went back to old problem sheets, as I thought they’d be quick and easy practice.
I was wrong.
The first question I picked at random took me 40 minutes and I still couldn’t get an answer.
Picked another.
Same thing.
So I’m starting to think maybe my weekend worth ethic was good -...

This could get a bit tedious.
And it’s definitely putting me off revision.
My plan was to get up when my alarm went off at 10, have an hour or so to wake up, start revision by midday.
It’s now 2pm and I’ve only just showered.
I suppose it’s my fault for hanging in the realm of the awake to catch up on the new season of the Ricky Gervais show. Worth it.
I may have got...

And I shall finally be moving out.
A year after most of my peers.
And only 15 minutes walk away.
BUT INDEPENDENCE NONETHELESS!
I’ve not been this excited about anything in a long, long time.
Why didn’t I do it last year? The thought of being stuck in a small flat for a year with people I didn’t know and probably won’t get on with didn’t particularly appeal to...
OH THE GLORY
I never thought such a thing could exist. But it does.
Chocolate Orange spread.
I’m not sure what it goes with.
We’ll find out.
