John Lennon knew what the deal was.
This week has been pretty stressful, because not only am I approaching university deadlines, I am sorting out summer 2011 and my volunteering at CIS as well. I got really annoyed at myself for not being a productive and motivated person and this partial-breakdown/hissy fit has sorted me right out. So far this week has been classes, mooching and more mooching. I am at last doing more work for my classes which is good, but sleeping less, which is bad. Snow arrived in Kobenhavn on Tuesday and is still pretty steadily falling, the city is so beautiful, a winter wonderland and everything keeps working, unlike England. The bike lanes are cleared and gritted before the roads get a look in. Everyone is wrapped up in proper winter gear. And it is not over-dramatised, just accepted.
However, it has been fricking freezing, literally, which has aided my concerted effort to study more, along with my new coffee habit/addiction. To-do lists are also helping me achieve my goals - this week, largely my BUNAC application, booking flights for February, learning backgammon (on Monday I beat a pretty seasoned player and today I beat Matt - haha!) and my Climate Change petitum and essay.
I have also realised that it was the lack of reading which was making me feel more and more stupid each day - so I am reading again. And yesterday I helped my tutee at CIS write a short story for her English teacher and enjoyed it way more than I ever thought - I'm going to try it myself. Last night I watched the film MILK and you should totally watch it too.
