Okay, okay time for a breather...

I have finished my contact hours and all my assignments for my first year of University. Funny that I chose to write this blog post when I wanted a break from writing...

I absolutely love my degree. I have learnt so much and I have the most amazing tutor. I literally felt like I was going to cry after 2 hours of meeting her. I feel so privileged to know her and to be able to discuss things with her. I love to hear her opinion on things and I value her wisdom a tremendous amount. I have also made really good new friends.

As of half an hour to an hour ago, I submitted my final essay of the year. I am happy with my essays but I am very scared about them. Last semester, I was very happy with my essays and I think I handled my stress a lot better. This time round, I've been stressed and I've let it affect me. My boyfriend and I have argued more and we generally don't argue which has scared me. I have been less tolerant of things he does that are not always very desirable. I have regretted having a short fuse and I have regretted taking my stress out on him. We are on good terms. We always are. The nice thing about our arguments is that they do not last very long. Before we know it we are back in each other's arms saying how much in love we are with each other.

I am reading "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer. My friend and I went to see it last night and I thought it was brilliant. Now that I have finished my essays, I can read again! I really enjoyed the Twilight Saga. However, when it became a huge craze and all the movies came out, I did not like how people perceived the books and what it all meant. I preferred it when it was low key and everyone accepted it as it should have been accepted. There are faults with the story as there are with everything but people have made it out to be a really shallow and pathetic obsession when it is simply not. I was obsessed with the books but I do not like the movies. I have watched the first, second and third (once) and I do not want to watch the fourth.

So, now that I have no more work that needs doing, I'll be struggling to find things to do. I will find a job (hopefully), read more, do more yoga and I am running the race for life in June.

I've always wanted to do something like it so I signed up and have been getting back in to running. That way it's a benefit for everyone, including myself. Furthermore, I am doing it for a friend who has been recently diagnosed. She'll keep me going for sure. On a happy note, another friend of mine has battled cancer and WON! You go girl! I am so proud and relieved!

I have a week's holiday and then I have preparation for my four week placement. It will be a lot of work but I love all things to do with placement so it will be good. I prefer being busy than not, anyway.

Something else that I'll do now that I have more time is to remember that I need to eat regular, nutritious meals. Due to the fact that I've been so busy, I've not been eating well and I feel so guilty because I've not kept up what my family has given me ever since I was born; regular, healthy, hearty and nutritious meals. I'm going to cook some salmon and vegetables NOW. I'm going to, mum, I'm going to.




That's just reminded me. Salmon; fish. Fish; "Finding Nemo". "Finding Nemo"; "FINDING DORY"! I am so excited!

 

Oh, and I love Ellen Degeneres.
