Welcome to my web diary!

Hello, hello.

Another entry pretty close after my other one - I'd feel proud if I wasn't procrastinating. I'm working on my first assignment due on the 21st, then another is due the 27th. I've been holed up at my desk for the past week studying, reading, writing notes and finally now starting the process of the actual assignment, which is making a forum post and replying to at least two other posts, and then I'll move onto writing a short essay.

It's not too bad, though yesterday it felt like my brain went to mush and what I was writing was a load of shit, but I am also on my period and not feeling too great and feeling all too tired, so I gave myself some grace. I did want to finish all of part A yesterday (the forum stuff) but I managed to write my post and respond to one other person, so just one more to do today, then maybe I'll do some gentle essay planning ready for tomorrow.

I don't feel like I'm feeling too fantastic at the moment, but I do think it's to do with my period so I will cut myself some slack. I also haven't eaten anything today so that might be contributing to how I feel. I'm excited because at the weekend P is getting the christmas decorations from the garage and we're decorating our house (I do not care if you think it's too early, when you've been holed up in front of your desk for at that point two weeks with non stop study and an awful period, you cling to the small things in the end) so I'm really looking forward to that. We've done great picking out presents and we're going out sometime this week to get the first part of the christmas food as well.

Not long now until Ashnikko and before that the christmas market. But until then it's two assignments and then I can breathe until January.

It's been rainy and gloomy here, really quite dark, which is nice. Also a lot colder so the heater in here has been working overtime.

We also watched Doctor Who, the first series with Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor (P has seen a lot of Doctor Who and me - none!) and I do have to say I did really enjoy it. We'll definitely be getting more DVD's to watch so I can go through each Doctor. As someone who knows absolutely nothing about it and has never watched it before I do really recommend it, it's a lot of fun and a joyous time capsule seeing as it was made in 2005 (I loved looking at the old shops and technology - and the notion of going to someone else's house to use their computer because you don't have one!)

Anyway, I really should get back to the assignment. I'll probably post again when the decorations have been up and we've been out and (fingers crossed) one out of two assignments have been posted. I love rambling here.

Oh and I'm also learning Welsh on Duolingo. The title is Welsh for "I'm tired." I'm really enjoying that and am on a 46 day streak so far. I've joined a bunch of groups on Facebook as well as a weekly newsletter (about different Welsh words) as I really would like to learn it properly and be able to speak it. It's amazing to read something in Welsh and actually understand it, and when I watch Pobol y Cwm I can pick up on words and chunks of sentences which is exciting. And one day I hope I'll be able to watch with no subtitles.

Until next time!
