Inky fingers and orange juice

I hadn’t realised how slack I had been throughout the semester until I started to revise for my last exam (from the 23rd until the 25th!!!!!! Has really kept this Arts child on her feet). I had every intention of simply r e v i s i n g but that has quickly turned into l e a r n i n g because I made my notes when watching my lectures (notes that are full of holes, I am now realising) and never looked at them a g a i n and n o w, I have r e g r e t s.

These past few days have been rather arduous, in first-year university terms, and, on a few too.many occasions, climate change revision has been replaced with an hour of Gordon Ramsay slaughtering his colleagues in the kitchen with a certain creativity that elevates him to worship-worthy. I think creativity truly is the secret ingredient not only to his Michelin stars, but to life and self-defence. I stan.

Something that I used to NOT stan is summer, but I kinda think that I now do. Maybe it’s the prospect of having my licence (by mid-January, if I figure out how to park and learn how to drive at a consistent speed) and some way to actually experience life ?!? Or having some semblance of freedom ? Or very little responsibility?! Chissà!!! I’m going to learn to surf properly this summer and try to read another 10 books before NYE and actually spend time with frands and just have fun !!! We have a loooong period of time to make up for, and I am looking forward to doing so before I become a second-year (ouch) ! I’m going to rid my despair @ not having properly been a jaffy by experiencing the jaffy life (albeit one not university-related) in December/January/Feb., and I am very excited!!

But, before we get to that, I need to get back to my climate change revision, though I’m most likely going to end up watching Puberty Blues or We Are Who We Are (HBO productions are genuinely the best but ze episode lengths are not an easily-distracted university student’s friend) or maybe a little more of my pal Gordon. Fingers crossed that I don’t regress to such habits, but I have spent 40 minutes sitting at the dining table doing just a liiiiittle more than nothing, so my future prospects are a bit dull.

 

Good luck with exams if you’re one like me, who is yet to finish!! You can do it!! If you can boil an egg, you can make it anywhere in life <3333
