Why Am I Here Again?

I must have asked myself that question several times today. Previous levels of stress and lack of control had nothing on today. Managed to get out of bed earlier than I ever have this past week, because I knew I needed to get my annotated bibliography for the English half of my course written. The moment I brought those articles up on the screen though....I just knew it wasn't going to be easy, and made worse by the fact that I had commitments to 1. Getting feedback from a previous tutor on my last assessment (which involved a friendly chat over coffee and a mince pie so mini-win) and 2. First INK meeting (which incidentally people need to know about, so they can get submitting for January....though as no one reads this blog it's kind of pointless). 

Needless to say, the weather wasn't on my side today either as it decided to rain just before I reached the meeting and I had neither raincoat nor umbrella to hand - just an expensive leather jacket (always my luck). 

And the time between getting back at 2.50pm and now has been a real mixed bag of nails and broken glass and tears. Struggle with my work aside, I had to face HMRC hounding me for unpaid tax (from a job I had 2 years ago!!) which as a student is the last thing you need to think about. Plus I am missing my wonderful boyfriend something chronic - and it's still just over 2 weeks before I get to go home for Christmas :( 

Buuuuuut I did finally finish my work....and eventually decide to submit it tonight just to get it out of my hair. Rewarded myself with some gingerbread cookies (proceeds went to charity), Taurus Dark Fruit Cider, and Archer. I also realise I made stuffed mushrooms for dinner and forgot to take a picture again so tomorrow maybe...I can remember.

Ok whine over for tonight. Let's pray for better days ahead
