The Notes of Doom

I've decided to write earlier today to take my mind off of the several sheets of class notes I have yet to type up *cries* and also to tell you how good my day has felt.
Went out in a rain mac with an umbrella for my 10am seminar (this is important because it comes back to haunt me later). Class went slow to start but again I think my ample notes got me through and helped to realise I'm still trying my hardest and probably succeeding. Had a laugh about homemade Warburtons Sandwich Thins mini pizzas with dear friend Hannah as I returned to my room and waited out the minutes until half 1 (when I forgot it might be raining and tried to leave in a leather jacket without my umbrella - oops), but the wait was rewarded by the best Litarary Guest Speaker yet: Gerard Donovan - Novelist, Poet, and Lecturer at this very university! He gave us all a very in-depth and absorbing view on what it is to write and why and how. His analogies on how writing is like a dog, living in the now, how adjectives are superfluous, your mind inventing descriptions for you, and how there are no true beginnings and ends -

'You don't have to begin; you just jump in...You don't have to end; you just stop...'

- were truly inspirational. 

I would've been able to sit and have a coffee with him for short while (instead of stumbling for words like a starstruck fan...which I kind of was) but I had a flat viewing with a friend to go to - and what a flat it was. Big open Victorian-style rooms, a cosy kitchen, and a garden with an apple tree. I may just have to pinch myself! But then I got hungry (as students do) so after getting home again (and then popping out to secure myself a Rock Society Varsity jacket) I rustled up some of the previously mentioned pizzas (using ketchup as a sauce and some leftover guacamole to garnish - yummy). 
Once full, it was just a case of cracking on with organising my notes. From half 5 til 8pm.....*cries* Was supposed to be going to a poetry open mic night too...this notes will not defeat me...maybe this weekend I'll vanquish them.
NB: I have just spent about half hour figuring out what needs to be done in the next few days and it is ALOT, but it makes me feel good, as a naturally organised person, to have done that :D
