And breathe

I did it! I've done it!
I managed to sort out the page numbers and decided to ignore the title page thing.
It is only a draft after all so I'm counting on my teacher telling me what needs to be sorted out...

Either way, my first written school assignment in more than ten years will be handed in tomorrow!
Fingers crossed (or if you're Swedish: hold your thumbs)!

Pride comes before a fall?

I've spent what feels like a week trying to put flipping page number on my person spec and the freaking computer does weird things to the document whenever I do it!
I'm not entirely sure what "title page with full title of assignment" means either...

I give up!
I don't want to do this bloody course any more!

Grrr

busy as a bee

Last night was another sleepless one and after struggling to get back to sleep for an hour or so I finally threw in the towel and got out of bed around 8.30.
I made myself a cup of tea and decided to get started on my homework. I read Her Big Chance from Alan Bennett's Talking Heads and because I like his monologues so much I just carried on and read half the book.
I finally told myself that there are no prizes for reading ahead and made a start on something that actually has to be in tomorrow: a flipping person specification and an action plan for applying to uni.
It was around this time that my old friend procrastination popped round and decided to spend the day...
So in the last few hours I've spent maybe half an hour working on my assignment and the rest reading blogs, watching TV, painting my toenails and really anything that isn't schoolwork.
Now, before anyone starts waggling a finger and saying "Now, now Sabina. You really must do your homework..." I'd just like to point out that the thing is more or less finished. It's really just fine tuning at this point.
And it will get done tonight!
Along with my linguistics homework.
So, there!

Exciting times ahead

After another sleepless night I am now lounging in bed watching breakfast on BBC and thinking that I should really have a shower and start getting ready.
You see I'm going to an open day at Queen Mary University today.
I'm slightly nervous but really excited, I've never actually been on a university campus before.
My dear sister is coming along as well so it should be a fun day out!

Hello. Is it me you're looking for?

I feel like I should blog.
Tell you all about my amazing new life as a student and all these new experiences and impressions.
And, you know, it is great.
It's also exhausting since I'm still working the same hours. Or rather, have the same workload but less hours to do it in!
I also need to research universities and find 5 courses/unis to apply to before the end of November.
And do my schoolwork.
And try to resist the urge to curl up in the foetal position and cry whenever I try to do these things.
I also found out the other day that, apparently, I don't know how to use punctuation! Specifically full stops and commas.
So rather a lot to take in...

On the upside, I seem to get a discount whenever I buy anything!
And my sister is coming with me to my first university open day on Saturday!

I put some new shoes on

And off I go for my first day of college!

Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult?

Since I am shortly going to be a student again (and also because I'm a pedant when it comes to spelling and stuff) I bought a dictionary today. While I was waiting to pay I flicked through it and looked at a random page and this is what I saw: Fart - let out wind from the anus.
So it seems that even when I try to be all grown up and responsible I just can't.
I mean, you can't for a minute imagine that I didn't have a little chuckle right there in the queue at WHSmith right?
