catching up
Dear allLife has been an odd combination of total unmotivation as well as rare bouts of workaholicism as of late. Nights have been spent lazing about in bed; mornings have often consisted of late lie-ins; days have been consumed by procrastination.
My thesis has finally been completed. As I am writing this, I am sat in the cluster room with my baby - nine months of work - on the desk beside me, looking beautiful in all its A4, 65-pages worth of printed glory. The final presentation is on Monday, which I have not yet resumed rehearsing for. I have a Decision and Risk exam - the first of many exams - next Friday. I cannot say that I feel prepared for it yet, although I've gone through the material once. Whether I am truly ready for it remains to be seen.
Tonight my boyfriend is taking me to see Phantom of the Opera, preluded by a pre-theatre dinner at an Argentinian restaurant in Piccadilly. I am very much looking forward to it (not to mention very much looking forward to seeing him in his suit). I have so far selected a pair of shoes for the occasion, as well as a pencil skirt which I am sincerely hoping I can still squeeze my hips into, however I have not yet decided on a top. Decisions, decisions.
We went on a book-buying (not the academic sort) spree of sorts yesterday, including multiple purchases of Dan Brown's material as well as a travel book for the summer and a couple of other novels. (Thank the Lord for Waterstones' 3-for-2 sales.) The Economist has been occupying the top of our magazine pile as I have lately been refusing to read anything else. We had a few listens to Coldplay's new single, Speed of Sound, which I thoroughly enjoyed. This surprised me as I never, ever enjoy Coldplay singles when I first hear them. I also discovered an energy candy the other day, which I suspect I will soon become unhealthily addicted to. It first tastes dry, almost chalk-like, in your mouth, but once it starts melting, it turns creamy. If you bite softly on it, it begins to fizz.
Life is beautiful. Until next time - eat well, sleep late, and kiss those whom you love.
Missing you all
