THE HOLIDAYS ARE HERE. FINALLY.
The weather is looking suspicious today, as if it simply cannot decide whether to rain, or shine, or simply remain overcast. It is, I suppose, part of the joy of living in Manchester - regardless of the time of year, one simply has to carry an umbrella and a coat. However, as I'm spending four and a half hours on a train to Cambridge, it affects me but a small amount. I have my suitcase packed, a bag full of books to read (I'm going to use the train journey to attack Middlemarch... If I don't get distracted by finishing off The Woodlanders - which, I heartily recommend if you are a fan of Thomas Hardy, but are somewhat sceptical after reading Tess and Jude the Obscure; it's much lighter but still tackles some interesting themes) and train tickets at the ready. However, I do need to go to Creative Writing first. I am, at least, pleased that I've got two critiques for the class, so I don't spend an hour sitting there, silent and wondering why I bother.
Sleep was sporadic last night. Although I usually filter health issues, I've been getting some especially painful upper-arm spasms and cramps. I suspect I'm restless when I do sleep and, thus, bunch myself enough and get stuck, as it were.
In other news, I got my hair cut yesterday - and it looks fabulous. It's short and easy to manage, but takes off any weight around my chin. I prefer to have my features on display, as long hair draws my face down, and too much mess framing my face makes me look round. I'm very particular about how I have my hair styled at the best of times but my hairdresser was even kind enough to give me a £3 discount so I actually spent £12 altogether. I do love being a student...
Anyway, my time to leave draws near. I need to go to the library (suitcase in tow...) and print off the two class critiques. I'm just glad the holidays are here, and I can spend some time relaxing, reading at leisure and hanging out with Rich (read: getting him to make me lots and lots of tea, and give me cuddles - 'cause I'm a big girl, really).
Au revoir. Have a good weekend, all.
