broken windows, christmas musings and the token essay whinge
weah so much bloody work to do and so little time!am nearly done on one of my essays but this is hardely encouraging as i still have two more to go, one of which is 4000 words and the other is incredibly hard and a type of essay that i have never done before, darn. am putting so much effort into the essay i am currently doing that i can see myself being too wiped out to do the others all that well, damn it i really wish i had given myself more time...again. unfortunatly there is bugger all i can do about this now so i really shouldn't bitch and whine but hey whats livejournal for?
Today i broke a window in our kitchen, which was pretty stupid! its completely smashed and theres glass everywhere, but gave me and becki the chance to do some handywork in the form of nailing stuff to the door to cover the hole, which was actually quite theraputic. we also made friends with our rather odd but obviously kind neighbours who gave us plastic stuff to cover it with and actually offered to do it for us. i know its a really mundane offering but it was nice to see some human kindness. it also gave a welcome distraction from work, hmmm perhaps i subconsciously broke the window on purpose so i could have a break! i hope not, i cant be that desperate to escape essays surely!
i seem to be being quite distructive of late, my clumsyness is reappearing after laying dormant for quite a while, i broke my laptop last week by spilling water all over it when i was drunk! so i am now using a usp keyboard which is quite annoying, as it is going to take a month for the computer guy to get a replacement keyboard. feel very sorry for my computer, she has really had some tumbles lately.
really looking forward to the end of term when all the deadlines are out of the way. cant wait for a good night out with everyone all relaxed and antipating christmas. mostly though, i am just waiting to go home. really needing the r&r, some home cooking and my mum! cannot wait to take my dog on long walks around the farms by my house and visit the horses. its going to be great to be out in the fresh cold air and actually think without anything getting in the way. i really need some good thinking time as my head seems to be so full of useless information and worry, and some good long walks will help make some space for next term. not so much looking forward to christmas day as its still going to be hard without my dad, but we are staying at home and i am cooking christmas dinner this year, me, mum and jon are going to get drunk and play games all afternoon, like we used to when we were kids rather than going round someone elses house and doing christmas 'their' way. im sure it will upset all of us somewhat but also i hope it will be homely and relaxed and be a day of just us being a family, which i miss a lot.
talking of christmas though, i have all of about £40 to buy everyones presents this year, so i am going to have to do some seriously good thinking about what to get people on such a limited budget! fortunatly most of my mates are in the same boat so we are just going to have a big night of drunken fun and games instead of buying presents, going to get some pass the parcel and other nonsense on the go, each of us buying a prize for the winner of each game and making sure we all get one! should actually be muchous fun.
but if anyone has any ideas for cheap good pressies, im totally open to them!
ok essay is calling me so better get back to it, hopefully i will be able to get some sleep at some point in the next 24 hours but im not holding my breath.
