Coldness

Sunday is normally the day of the week where I start to feel guilty about the uni work piling up and so head off for a mega library session, broken only by a break to go to the gym (I read/work whilst eating lunch).

This Sunday was slightly different; I decided to skip the gym but go to the library whilst I waited for Joey (he was going to a society gaming thing). So I got quite a bit of work done as normally I don’t like to stay *too* long after it gets dark at about 4, but he finished around 7-8.

We walked out and it was FREEZING. I was wearing just a hoodie over my t-shirt because I’d left the house in a rush carrying my lunch and so grabbed the nearest thing with a hood because it was raining, forgetting my umbrella. It was also snowing.

By the time we’d walked down the hill I was practically dead. Joey, like the mutant he is, was reasonably cold but not caring too much. He was, however, laughing at Snow Jenni. We decided to stop off at the newly-refurbished uni bar, where I had a lovely hot chocolate. The whole atmosphere was really nice; it was quite quiet, the place was nice and warm and we sat near the window looking out at the snow in the dark night. Since the weather wasn’t getting any better, we decided to eat there before braving the cold again.

We did however keep making stops – under buildings, under bus shelters and the bridge, because it was so damn cold and wet. But after warming up when getting home, we managed to face the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream I bought the other day, so joy

Getting up early this morning (7 am) after going to bed around 2 wasn’t great. But I went to my lectures, worked for a couple of hours and now I’m slowly working my way down my list of things to do. There’s a variety of things including house chores, uni work, and stuff to pack (I’m going to Sheffield for a couple of days tomorrow to see my friends and for Em’s cocktail party – she’s 21). Busy busy. Plus, I need to start applying to unis for postgrad courses soon, I have massive essays to write and the whole social side of things to do as well. But on the bright side, I’m enjoying my friends and uni and my life. It’s ridiculously better than this time last year in every way possible

Work work has also been keeping me pretty busy, but I got a nice fat cheque for £240 for October’s wages, and November’s shouldn’t be too bad so I’m coping. I’ve even bought Christmas presents for my sister, Richard and Tabi and Joey, so I’m not doing too badly.
