New Blog!!
So I have a new look for my blog after Brendan had to switch some stuff up. It was either this or a pink one that I liked too. But this one seems more travel-esque, so I chose it, since it’s an “England” blog. I guess I haven’t written in a while. I got through my two tutorials, barely finishing my essays on time. My first one went pretty well, and the second one started off rough, but then it was okay. I don’t really want to think about them, so I’m not going to write much about them. This week, I’m going to start fresh, so I will hopefully get everything done in time and will be more prepared and not as stressed. I also got my IR collection back, which I wasn’t expecting, but I got a 62!! Which is really good, or at least I’m happy about it. Last term, I got a 54 on politics and 57.5 on econ. So 62 is much better, and 70 is the best you can get. So it’s a low 2:1, but at least it’s a 2:1 and not a 2:2. So that made me happy.
In other exciting news, we had an erg session planned for this morning, and it got cancelled. Now I’m thinking I should still exercise in some way, but I’m sitting in front of my computer instead. I’m telling myself I’ll go after this and either ride the stationary bike or do a relaxed erg. We’ve been out on the river quite a bit, and though it’s rained some, it hasn’t rained too much and not really at all during outings. I’m sitting at 6 at the moment in the boat, which is a good place. This confirms my thoughts that I do much better when I’m actually in the boat than when I’m on an erg. That’s why I’m scared to do ergs because I have no idea how I’ll do, and I might be moved in the boat again. But as long as I’m in the boat, I’m okay. I had a weird dream about all the girls on the rowing team living in the same house, and Emily Glotzbach was on the team as well, living in England with me. And my mom was there making us dinner. Strange.
And my last bit of exciting news. I have sprouts!! I planted my herbs last week, and my basil is sprouting. The chives don’t have anything yet, but they were supposed to be planted deeper, so hopefully they will sprout soon. It’s a beautiful day out, so I have my cups sitting out on my window ledge to get sun and fresh air. They make me very happy. See mom, I’m being much more positive and my herbs are helping. Plants just make things brighter, even if they’re still really small. Oh, I’ll take a picture of them.
Today, I’m going to convince myself to exercise, and then I’m going to take it easy. I might do some Flickr pictures, read through some stuff for my thesis, maybe start reading for my next essays, and maybe look at some train times for my Europe trip this summer. Then this evening, Kristie and Jennifer are coming here and we’re going to Brad’s for the MCR Mexican Feast! Which is so exciting. Mexican food in England, the highlight of my term. Well besides all my friends coming over to see me. Anyway, that’s my life right now, with a sunny disposition.
