23/3/17 I’m working on a physical geography practical write up right now about glaciers and it’s really tricky because I’m not sure how I should be answering the questions! It’s due in at 2pm, and its 10am now so I’m going to knuckle down and get it done. I pressed a flower I picked the other week, and its sitting next to my thermos today. It has the quote that inspired the name for this blog on it! Yesterday I got a helix piercing and went and read the lord of the rings in the gardens, so it was a really nice day, but I didn’t get much work done! xxx emily
final little push. I’ll be doing some work on my essay until probably 23rd, but interspersed with watching christmas films and going on dog walks, so fairly lowkey. fortunately the essay is super interesting + I’m so happy that this course has opened up so many different schools of thought and ways of reading in just one term! also extremely pleased with this table in my bedroom, now that my desk is gathering dust in my house for a couple of weeks. when I hurried back a couple of days ago, I did make it a priority to bring my laptop stand in my suitcase (people often ask - it’s this guy, and I couldn’t recommend it more! https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/braeda-laptop-support-bamboo-veneer-30384822/)
hope everyone is safe, well + starting to wind down for the holidays. it’s been rough, and weird, recently and, really, all year, and the news is getting difficult to listen to again, but we’ve all pulled through and a bit of indulgence is certainly in order now!
set up for the final zoom seminar of the term. part of me wishes we weren’t back here, part of me is very grateful to have been able to come home with enough time to feel that christmas hasn’t been put at risk by me being on campus, which couldn’t have been done without going online at the end of term - complicated! anyway, the seminar was great + left me wanting more if anything. 2 weeks of essay work, reading, and eating loads of cheese are in order, I think.
Sitting here wishing I was drawing, but instead I’m finishing my website. I hate having to prioritize :’( Oh well, at least I have Teal'c here to keep me company (he looks like such a regular Joe with hair…lol)
Don’t fret though, artwork is on the way! I’m going to pick up my printer today, then scan like a mad woman!!!
