Really weird day. I felt anxious and paranoid all day. It's frustrating, I don't know why I get like that. I got on top of it though.

I went down to the courts and played basketball in the afternoon. I didn't get a chance to carry on the picture I'm drawing, though. And now I need to go to sleep.

I tidied my room today! I would say something about a tidy room, tidy mind, or some such bullshit, but it was just advanced procrastination.

I also started sketching this picture. I do sketches now. It's part of my whole 'self-improvement/do-something-with-your-life' hype i've been trying to do as of late.

Anyway I spent like an hour just doing the outlines. I don't know why I chose such a difficult picture! Maybe I'll post it up when I'm done. That way, I'll have an incentive to finish it.

Also I made burgers for lunch. They were yummy.

I made it to all three of my lectures/seminars today! I'm finally getting my shit together to pass this stupid degree course!

New Flat!

I signed the contract for the flat I am going to live in next year! Woo! It's slightly closer to Uni, about two minutes away from where I'm living now.

Continuing on from Monday's post, I've managed to continue my plan of waking up earlyish and being active in the day time. Yesterday was pancake day, and today I made it to my 10am lecture! Amazing!

Life is good

Today life is good. The weekend was peculiar. Friday night, we sat in the house and drank, with no club night or bar or pub or house party to go to. We sat, and drank, watched 30 Rock (which I am not a huge fan of), and complained that it was dull. It was dull. On Saturday night I went to a night run by a friend of a friend. It was a jungle/breakbeat set in an old man's pub. I started the evening unexpectant, sober, and slightly scared of the people around me. I had a few pints. Then I found some MD. Then some more of my friends turned up. Then I found Ketamine. I got fucked up. On Sunday I came back down.

Today I got up early (by my incredibly lazy standards) and did a few hours' work. I am very pleased, because I've been ill and falling behind in my work. And, as most of what I need to do is self-motivated and self-taught, it can be quite easy to give in to procrastination. Later I think I'll go for a run.

Well , this weekend was pretty dry. I spent all today and yesterday playing Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise and pretty much doing fuck all else. I literally sat and played games for almost two consecutive days. It feels horrible. And I just realised that I have lots of work to be done before Easter which I wasn't aware of before. I have two 3000 word pieces of coursework and a 5000 word project.

I'm feeling less ill now though, so that's good! I can try to get on top of it all this week!

Uggghhhh...

Uggghhhh... I made the classic mistake of ignoring my health, and now I am really ill. And its still cold and snowing. Bluhhhhh! On the positive, I went to my first seminar today. It was about as good as I expected. That is to say, pretty tedious. And, since I'll probably be stuck in bed for the next few days, so I'll be able to blog more :)

I watched a film called Rushmore just now. It was really really good. Like, on the same level as Eternal Sunshine. I'm too ill and tired to do it now, but I definitely want to give it a proper review/ a second viewing.

I'm going to watch some more Wes Anderson/ Indie/ Slice of life/ Whatever you want to call 'em films now.
Then Lemsip and lots of rest. Eugh.

So far this week I've been feeling ill, missing lectures, lying in bed, and feeling sorry for myself. This sucks!

I didn't do much today because it was snowed over. I slept in late because it was cold, and I didn't do much because it was cold. I don't like cold.

I now realise that my last blog entry was four days ago. Lazy. I will try to do better.

The past few days have mostly been made up of partying and sleeping in. I went to Forum on thursday (**) and Gate Crasher yesterday (****). Oddly, I bumped into old Schoolmates on both nights out. It's strange that I left school almost two years ago. On one hand, a LOT has happened since then. On the other hand, it really doesn't seem like that long ago. I guess time flies when you're having fun??!

Today it snowed. I cooked a lovely north-african lamb stew. I learnt how to blanche tomatoes. It was yummy.

Well, I just read my longer post from yesterday back to myself, and it's pretty lame! But hey, it was written when I was in a certain mood at a certain time, so fuck it. That's what was on my mind at the time.

I also got a longer run in today. 35 mins, and my calves did not ache at all during or afterwards. I did a brief stretch and warm up inside the house because it's really cold outside, and I think it helped a lot.
