Yup, I haven't updated in a while again. I've just been so damned busy, and while I was lounging in the bath earlier I was worrying myself crazy about all the assignments I've got to do between now and the end of March. It is gonna end up being pure hell! especially in March itself cos I have to have an assigment in for all 4 units (making it more than 1 assignment per week, which is a lot of essay writing -_-; ). Oh well, at least I got the most pressing one done tonight. A free choice essay for History that is due in tomorrow. I swear I'll be dreaming about The Crusades tonight, what with the amount of reading and writing about them I've done tonight *sighs*. Oh well, will print it off and hand it in all before my 11am lecture tomorrow, well hopefully.
Aside from the academic workload, I've taken up Chinese Kickboxing, which happens twice a week; Tuesday and Thursday, 6pm to 8pm on both nights. I went to the session yesterday, along with Carmel, who's the person that convinced me to go, lol. We did a whole hour of stamina training, including an exercise where we were in groups of 5 and we had to piggyback every member of our group to the other side of the hall. That was definitely knackering, but that was only a small portion. By the time we got to the actual Kickboxing part of the session I was absolutely knackered. I carried on regardless though, eager to learn all 8 basic moves as qickly and efficiently as possible. So lots of kicking and punching the air followed. I can move into the left guard position pretty smoothly now, hehe. Was going to go to tomorrow's session but am thinking I probably won't as I ache pretty badly all over today and it'll be just as bad or even worse tomorrow. So I shall do some light practice of my own tomorrow and over the weekend too. Definitely very fun though. Can't wait to punch and kick the pads!
Other than that, over the weekend I watched 'The Island' with my younger brother and sister. It was teh awesome! Really really enjoyed it and was so glad I bought the dvd. Ewan McGregor has kind of turned into my new film god. I just won't shut up about him now, hahaha. I can't wait for his new film, Stay, to come out in the cinemas over here in the UK. Mucho looking forward to that. Don't think I really did anything else over the weekend. Just chilled out really. Very much looking forward to this weekend. I'm taking my mum out to lunch (well she's taking us out, I'm paying, since she's the driver, haha). So that should be a nice bonding session over food, heh.
I think I'm pretty much done there. It is getting late and I have to be out by 9-9:30am in the morning so I can get to uni in time to print off and hand in my essay before my lecture. God I am looking forward to the weekend, lie-in!!
