Well ok, things are looking up and down.
Submitted my Victorian essay, which I think came out pretty good despite the obvious stress. So that's an up.
Submitted my dissertation proposal, which again I think is pretty good and definitely something I can work on when the time comes (provided I get the research in over the summer - and this Easter holiday too just to be ready). So another up.
Had sushi with Megan and Jenna today and saved myself a little bit of money thanks to my student discount. A third up. Where am I going with this? I'm not sure.
Well I'm equipped for Cervinia with a new pair of gloves and a balaclava. I have a cute new beanie. I have nothing to do at the moment except relax and I'm fine with that.
But I think, despite not being in immediate financial difficulty, this is the first time in awhile that I am worried I will be. The Cervinia trip does often put me out in that sense, but it's an experience I want one last time while I can. Also the English department here at uni have put out an offer for a few English students to join a history trip to Budapest for only £200 which is money I do have but which will put me close to having to dip into my overdraft to pay for my rent. I think my main problem is that Jenna has convinced me to join her and now I probably won't get a reply from the school office until Monday. I want to make this a certainty because I really DO want to go. And I'll be home tomorrow so I'm not sure how that's going to affect my chances.
Ugh, I guess moaning about it here won't fix anything.
I'll make an effort to be cheery because I am looking forward to going home too. It's mine and Jackson's 2 year anniversary on Sunday and he has a (surprisingly well kept) secret for me so I am understandably excited for that. And of course Cervinia itself on Wednesday. Damn things come round fast, huh? Just look at this, my second year, in its final months now. I'll be writing my dissertation before too long (aheh oh boy) I'm going down again. Got to keep it happy. What else can I say?
I guess just that I will make the effort to write again before Cervinia and, if possible, while I'm away. I know Facebook may well find out what I'm up to. Better go now, though. I'm running out of stuff to talk about.
