As my last post suggests, I've been a bit snowed under in terms of work, but the good news is that in just a week I'll be on my holidays. Nowhere fancy or foreign - just sitting at home enjoying the familiar comfort of dog fart and cat dribble. I can't wait. By Tuesday, I will also have sent off both my UCAS application and my Cambridge application (just as soon as the postal strike ends - no comment). That will be a weight off the noggin. As I mentioned in my last post, I am dropping a night of work and as of next week, that's done too.
I feeling much more elated than my last entry as, not only have I managed to complete a few things, but I've also managed to squeeze some simple pleasures into my life:
- I have had my hair cut
- I have joined the gym
- I went to the cinema last night
- I plan to do about an hour's worth of shopping later today
All these things, I must say, help to relieve the stress of everyday student life - I even got a relaxation session at the hairdresser's. Not sure why. Can't say I was particularly prepared but it was interesting to have oil rubbed over my face by a total stranger. They even asked me if I wanted to put my feet up whilst I had my hair washed. Nice girls. The gym is slightly more strenuous but it's a wonderful feeling once you've finished - you can feel a bit light-headed I'll admit, but it's fine once you've had a lump of chocolate or three.
The cinema is something I'd like to talk about in another post; I've fallen behind on my reviews so I should like to put in a word or two about the film I saw later on.
One last thing - roundabouts.
Now, if any driver can do them without stalling I'd like to know how. The big ones are starting to get a bit scary (especially as my instructor insists he can't ban all traffic from the road when I'm driving) and I'd like to be able to do one without holding up half of England, or risking my life as I roll onto them. Whatever happened to straight roads? The Romans had it sussed.
Have a happy Sunday.
