What a week!
Not in the good way. This week has been very trying for many different reasons. I think I have been majorly sleep-deprived, and not eating properly, a little unhappy and missing home. But life goes on right?
After a pretty sleepless night, on Tuesday I realised how much work I had to do for my deadline at 12noon Thursday. Basically, I hadn't started any of it. So I woke up early, went to the library at 8.30am and started doing it. I started at the Social Sciences library, then cycled round the corner to the Political Science library then cycled round another corner to my 2-hour 10am Scandinavian Political Systems class. Stayed for the first hour then went back to the Social Sciences library, back to the Political Science library and had to stand for 30 minutes while the slowest computer in the world tried to print my work. Raced back to the class to get the lecturer to sign my petitum, ended up having to bully him into it as it was not complete. Horrendous. Then raced back to campus to go to my 12noon class, but didnt get there until 12.35 so decided to skip. Rode home for lunch planning a big afternoon of working on my synopsis, then fell asleep for over 2 hours. Woke up with a dry mouth and a banging head. Don't even know what I did for the rest of the day but I do know my head was a mess.
Wednesday was the day I had to write my 1000 synopsis for my oral exam in December. Although it doesn't get graded I wanted to do it well as it is meant to introduce the exam. So I worked for a while at home, then worked for a while in the library, then again at home and got it finished around 8.30pm. That was a long day. I was excited to finish so that I could go and have a beer. Then I got invited to a party before going out on the town and it all escalated from there, I got home at 2.30am. Having danced literally all night, occassionally with the speakers instead of real people. Rode home swaying all the way. Must have set my alarm when I got back because I remember turning it off at 8am even though I had to go to campus to hand in my work by 12noon. Woke naturally at 10am and went straight to campus as I knew it would take me ages to print and photocopy all my stuff. And I was right - I got it all handed in at 11.30ish. I knew that I was unable to use a British photocopier so I don't know how I managed with on with instructions in Danish!
So went home and listened to some awesome songs on YOUTUBE. Search 'jack steadman' and you're life will be greatly improved. Decided not to nap but to go to bed early. Cooked roast vegetables and whole chicken breasts, which I guess means my appetite is back! Went to bed at 8.30ish after some intense Apprentice watching. And slept for over 12 ruddy hours! Haha I WIN! I woke up briefly when Simon got home with his friend - I had already been asleep for a good couple of hours, felt so good. Woke earlyish and got up quick and met Simons friend who is staying this weekend then headed to the shops where I bought UK Glamour magazine and a pair of mittens. Got a book out of my University library called 'Wars that Changed the World' which I cannot wait to read. And here we are.... Just been listening to Daft Punk all afternoon and looking for articles for one of my essays.
Something to take with you, something my friend Katie 'van Dyke' Jones told me -
"It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious." ~ Oscar Wilde
