I wish i could touch a book and just absorb it.

Stress level heightening.....

Up wayyy too early today for staff meeting but was worth going to because as always it had such a big impact on the shift tonight. We were on fire, thankfully not literally and if we can keep on like that we'll be golden. Had a wee outing as well with some of the folks from work to Frankie and Bennys and ate loads!!! Had full intension of studying when i came home from the meeting but was actually shattered so kind of went to bed instead. I will study tomorrow, honest.... starting to stress.

Life related Stuff's

This has never happened to me before but right now i have an amazon gift voucher to spend and I do not have an overwhelming urge to spend it! Might have something to do with the 13 new books that wont fit on my bookshelf and so are instead living in the amazon box they came in until such times as i buy a bigger box case or *gasp* get rid of some of my books. In additonal bookish type news I've sort of restarted my book challenge so that i have exactly a year to read them starting from January 1st rather than a random date in Sepetember. Kind of works out though because from septemeber till December 31st was a nice little test run of how much I can read when i can be bothered to read regularily.
Additonal less interresting reading type news - I read over 75 pages of text book today and you know how long it took me ? Three hours. I realised i read in a very slow monotonous voice in my head when i read textbooks so going to need to try and skip read the rest of the book I think if I am to stand any chance of reading it all before the exam. Starting to really worry about my exams thought. Although one minute I'm like meh I'll be fine, wing it and just write something, you dont need to do fantastically just well enough to pass so you can do better next time and the minute im like IMMA GONNA FAIL!!!!
I do have a lot riding on this though, sort of. Possibly. More of that nearer the possibilty of it being a solid possibility.
Ever find that when you're studying for an exam aswell everything else in life suddenly becomes so much more important? Pretty sure last time  had to study i created a new filing system for bank statements, not a word of a lie. This time round i just want a general overhaul of my room, starting to gather so much junk again its not even funny. I have stuff though that i dont know what to do with cause its like stuff you know you should keep like things from School and the like but i don't particularily want to keep in my room. Maybe I could pinch a box from work and stick it up the loft or in the top of the spare bedroom wardrobe. Its not just my room in hankering to clean though cause theres loads of little things in other rooms of the house i wouldn't mind organising.
February shall be my month of socialness I think cause I didnt get to do as much as I wanted over the christmas holidays due to always feeling guilty about not studying and cause I'm working like a mad thing atm.

Aye so that was a bit longer than i intended it to be but ummm yeah

There will also be some vloggage when i look more awake and more human.

Stuff of the day

Got up  at a time that could almost be considered early. Well to me at least. Had a KFC and sat in the car park at the beach while it tipped it down outside and had one of the most TMI conversations of my life. Came home and did some revision, my brain is actually melting from reading that much Consumer Behaviour in one go.

GOT MY AMAZON VOUCHER! So sadly excited about this but right now not a clue what to spend it on cause i have loads of books i got for christmas that i need to read first.

Shopping tomorrow with the girls even though i really ought to be doing revision. Im gonna fail uni but right now i cant bring myself to care.

Misery is so 2011

So incase people hadnt noticed I'd been a bit down the last few weeks/months but its the start of a new year and by gum this year is going to be awesome. So thought id take some time and think of the little things that make me smile.

Singing along to musicals with others - Sweeney Todd

Singing along to musicals when I'm alone - Moulin Rouge (I swear I'm a secret broadway star)

Letter writting to people in far flung places - Holland

Beating someone who's a little too big for his boots - Mini Golf

Having a genuine group of people who are just as mental as me to work with - You know who you guys are!

Unexpected tweets/texts at random times of the day and night - You guys make me smile

Home improvements - Bedside table constructed of old laptop and amazon box - I will buy a proper one from Ikea

Amazon - I love it too much, it eats my pennies.

Trains - Yeah they are a bit of a pain in the bum but they give me time to read books that i wouldnt really get otherwise

Revision - Yeah its sad as hell but I sort of like revising now that I'm getting into it. Going to go mad with post-it notes and mindmaps in the next few days.

Driving - Had too journeys to my grans recently and nothing has made me smile like driving along country roads with Frank Turner blaring.

Plans - I have so many plans this year and i cant wait to see which ones i manage to achieve

Small Animals - Luvage for the small squeaky guinea pig.
