Handed in my literary criticism. Its too short but never mind. Not expecting to do very well this term at all. I'm going to head over to the library for about 7 - 7:30ish and finish the Odyssey annotation. Learn some Latin verbs. Had to queue to hand my essay in. What a joke! Over-slept tremendously this morning too. Oh well. Feels weird to not be going out tonight. I think some people are going to the Bedlam theatre for the Xmas panto but I can't afford to waste time. I feel like I've done so badly in all my written work that I really need to do well in mt exams. I'd like to think that I won't have to re-take them next semester but I probably will have to - especially Latin. Feeling very subdued today. Think revision will be good for me. Give me some alone time. I really am looking forward to going home now. Not that I'm unhappy here or anything. I'm loving it here. It will just be nice to have my room, my car, my friends, my cat, my piano. Oh and of course my family. I miss them all terribly. Plus I'm looking forward to not having to cook for myself. I know my mum will spoil me rotten when I go back and I can't wait for it! Speaking of mother, she's just text me. She's ill :( Bah. Says it'll cheer her up when I come home. Bless. Bad cold. Anyway, I was just about to get all sentimental about home. I miss Dunham Park. I'm going to take long walks there when I go home. I love the trees in Winter. Its romantic and peaceful. Will definitely have to get stoned there too at some point with everyone. I really do miss little shopping trips in Altrincham and spending too much money in Waterstones. I miss going to the Stamford for a nice drink with Adcott. I miss Alex and our obsession with Harry Potter. I miss Kate and her goodness. I think I will be staying for New Year too although I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing exactly. Probably spend it with Ross etc etc. Yeah. Christmas will be good.
I've managed to stress myself out though. I know I'm not going to do very well this Semester. I'm really disappointed with myself. Its been a learning curve though. I know how much I've got to put in now. I know how I need to manage my time and I definitely know how to manage my money! I've sorted my finances out too so next term will all be good and I won't need to use my loan. Shouldn't have used this terms really but all next terms will be going into an ISA and the money I earn from working at Potterow will be paying off the overdraft. Thank god its interest free thats all I can say. Then full time job over the summer to earn plenty for next year. I did nothing this summer. Wasn't a complete waste. I mean I was with my friends and we were stoned constantly. I think I needed to have a summer where I could just do what I liked. After working so hard for two years I felt like I deserved it. Next summer will be different. I am determined to have plenty of money and I am VERY determind not to use any of my student loan ever again. I don't need to! I get £300 a month off my parents. That so should be enough. Once my earnings from Potterow have paid off my overdraft then I'll have extra spending money too. Well it all sounds very good written down but whether this will materialise is another thing. I will do my best to make sure it does!
