Supposed free time

So I’ve been busy with essays and exam…they’re all over now, but there’s no rest for the wicked as I’m now stuck with next semester’s reading and I’m back at the office too (God that makes me sound old)…worked almost a full day today, and I’m booked in for a full day tomorrow. ANOTHER day of making image lists, one of the most tedious tasks in the world – ick. At least it’s relatively mindless, and it’s working for Mr Eager, who remains, well, eager. Maybe even EAGER. He was telling me about spending his New Year in Portgual…he always seems to be on holiday when he’s not being eager. Wonder if he’s an eager tourist too? Probably.

The rest of my supposed week off will be dedicated to household chores and organisation, and gym trips. I can’t believe I’m actually in my last semester of university now. I graduate on 9th July, and then I’ll have letters after my name. Exciting stuff…

I have a ton of stuff to read for my Drama module, Fin-de-siecle; apparently we’re expected to do 13 hours’ work a week outside set contact hours. I’m not quite sure how that works, since it’s a drama module.  Also, if I x3 for all my modules, that’s 45 hours/week. Add in social stuff, regular gym visits and part-time job and it turns into a mad rush of busy-ness that doesn’t account for stuff like laundry and cooking and shopping.

Talking of shopping, I bought a lovely dress at half price yesterday, which I may well wear to a certain 21st birthday party. I’m undecided though because a) I’m not really sure if it’s me and b) I definitely need to lose a bit of holiday weight before I wear it. I’m going to take it home and then decide. I know Sarah would definitely talk me into wearing it, but I also know my family will force their views on me and be honest about whether I look shit or not.

I’m turning into such a girly girl, I must’ve bought about 4-5 dresses over the past few months. And with Sarah’s help, I spent a ton on make up. It actually took me more than about 10 mins to get ready when I went out with Joseph the other night, and it was worth the effort.

I’ve got the house to myself tonight – decided it wasn’t a wise idea to go out when I overslept this morning from tiredness and I have work at 9 am tomorrow. But I’m going to make the most of it, and play some wii whilst no one’s watching/intending to watch TV. Yay.

In other news, would anyone like to recommend me some films, other than chick flicks and horrors, that are good? I don’t mind if they’re really old or classics you’d expect me to have seen – I probably won’t have seen them.

    I’m glad to hear that you’re FINALLY done with everything! Good luck on next semester’s readings!

    LOL, I need to do house chores… =/

    Ooh, that’s awesome about the dress! I’d love to see a picture of it!

    LOL about turning into a girly girl. Dresses are nice… IF they look nice on me! =P LOL.

    Hmm, as for movies… I’m not sure if my movies count as chick flicks or not, but I believe it does… LOL, so I won’t recommend them to you. =P Hehe.

    Just wear it. I’ll tell you that you look fabulous, no matter how shit you look.

    JUST KIDDING. I’ll be brutally honest and make you cry.

    ALSO KIDDING; you’ll be fine! Have you seen my clothes recently? Ick.

    Films eh? ‘Zodiac’ was one of the best films to be released last year, and it does have killin’s in it, but it’s more of a crime thriller than a horror film. Based on real events and that, also. Robert Downy Jr. and the bottom from brokeback mountain star

    In terms of comedy, ‘the big lebowski’ is still the funniest film ever.

    Something with a muppety twist to it: Labyrinth

    Animated brilliance – spirited away is, like, the pinnacle, probably. I think you may have got this, although I don’t know why I think that…

    I’m watching Pan’s Labyrinth at the moment, I think it’s a great film, I hightly recomend it, it is in Spanish though so if you don’t like subtitles then you might not enjoy it.
    Congrats on doing your essays and exams, good luck with your reading list.
    45 hours!! I have no idea how you will fit that in.

    I hope you did well on your essays and your exam. I bet you did though. Good luck on the rest of your work; seems like you have a lot to do!
    As for the films, here’s a list of good ones: Ratatouille, Happy Feet, I Am Legend and uhm… Grease. :D Though I bet you’ve seen that last one already! Lol. :)

  7. Courtney says:

    LOL I bet he is also an eager tourist! xDD Omg, good luck with all the things you’re doing, and do be sure to take care of yourself! ^^ I also want to buy dresses and suddenly find myself wearing makeup…being girly…but really, when I take better care of myself I feel better.

    Loving your blogs, as per usual :grin:
    Filmswise, I reallly reccomend: This Is England (kinda funny even tho you dont expect it, really honest view of england in the 80s. not my usual sort of film but i love it!); Little Miss Sunshine (again funny, honest, a real feel good film but not chick flicky in the slightest); Trainspotting, The Hole, The Matrix, then it’s all the ones you find in bargain bins for £3. I have wierd taste in films, I love films everyone thinks are rubbish, but then I like ones that are more indie style too.
