So what have I been doing you might wonder? Well, in some respects very little. I haven't exactly been flooded with things to do at university. Work is fine, I'm not swamped by it or anything (as much as I'd kind of like to be sometimes. I'm a bizarre person, I know) and lectures/seminars/study groups don't particularly take up very much time. I've been doing a strange amount of exercise and actually feeling really pretty good about it. You don't need to know me very well to know that this is most definitely unusual. But I can't help it. As much as I can't stand that kick aerobics teacher, it feels good to be told to kick and punch the air with everything you've got. It feels even better to go to the gym the next day and not feel like you're dying. Yoga tonight! We got given a free session by the woman in the health shop because we were doing volunteer work. I like it in there in a very middle class, "I can't really afford anything because I'm a student, but one day my cupboards will be full of this yoghurt covered fruit" kind of way.
On another healthy note (though I really couldn't care less that this is healthy. It could be as good for me as a tub of Ben and Jerry's and I'd still do it), I think I'm going walking at midnight at the weekend to see the sunrise. Believe me when I say this simultaneously excites me beyond belief and fills me with an inescapable sadness. I'm silly.
Other things I've been doing with my time include deciding what to do with my future. As peppy and positive this blog may seem, I still don't like it here. These fleeting excursions are not enough to make up for the complete absence of life in this place. I don't think it's just me expecting too much of university, it's that I'm not in the right place. I think I'd forever regret it if I didn't at least try for something better.
NaNoWriMo...argh.
