Rain and Stress
The weather in Lancaster has turned horrible, so I can't do my revision up in Williamson park like I'd planned to. :( Instead I'm getting distracted with stuff around the house, Green Wing and general web procrastination, and I have to go into the kitchen every hour or so for a cup of tea (I'm back to my caffeine addiction after running out of naturally caffeine free Rooibos), during which I eye the pile of washing up guiltily and wish it was next Wednesday already with my exam over and done with.
I feel a general mope coming on this weekend, broken only by the prospect of Green Wing on Friday night. But then the mope will return, because Green Wing will be over until Christmas. And then I have my exam next Wednesday so I'll have to swing back into revision mode over the weekend.
Luckily I have a few things to look forward to. I'm visiting Ross the weekend after my exam and going to London Expo with him, which will be fantastic. I have something of a challenge on my hands there, because I'm going to cosplay with him and need to get this ridiculously complicated costume somehow.
It'll be nice to get out of this house, whose occupants are mostly under the influence of exam stress right now. That includes me. Wokko is excepted from that though, since his last exam was today. Lucky bastard.
I feel paranoid and cooped up and wish I could go outside and revise because it would be so much nicer to be in the sun.
Blah. I'm just generally dissatisfied today. I have revision and SCAN and housemate stuff and my exam weighing on my mind and it's all HATEFUL. I wish I could take comfort in escaping into the world of Green Wing for a while, but all the spoiler and speculation-laden discussion of the last episode over at ___greenwing and the forum is giving me a headache. That said, I've been having fun writing Green Wing drabbles, and posted some over at the community earlier, which were well received. They were such a challenge to write, but well worth it! Also in my post I asked for suggestions for future drabbles, so during my revision breaks I should be well occupied in a creative sense with writing them - there are loads of suggestions already!
I think I'm going to go and watch an episode before I go to bed and de-stress a bit and take comfort in fictional characters whose lives are deliciously complicated and fraught, who I can root for in a fangirly way. I've got to get up early tomorrow because I'm going to try and finish Jane Eyre as part of my revision. I'm actually really enjoying the book, but I still have a few hundred pages to go and I really need to finish it so I can revise some other texts.
Okay, so this entry has been long-winded and rambly, but I really needed to get all that off my chest and clear my mind. I'll be a lot happier once all the work is done, that much is certain.
