Back To Blogging

I haven't been keeping up with my blogging. I've been so busy with uni work. Suddenly a whole swarm of assignments have descended on me and I'm fighting to keep above sea level. I really meant to blog last night, but I was up until 3am reading a short story I had to comment on and completing a letter writing exercise where I had to write in the voice of one of the characters in the story. It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't needed to be up at half seven to be in uni for 9am. I also had to memorise 100 words from the reading for this week and read it out in my seminar today. Luckily, with my freakish memory I pulled it off word for word, but my letter exercise never got checked so technically I stayed up until stupid o'clock for no reason. However, on the brighter side, I didn't fall asleep in my lecture today! I usually do in my 9am Wednesday lectures so yay! I've been working really hard today as well, had quite a lot of exercises to do in the lectures and seminar today, and also I had to read Lies of Silence by Brian Moore. Bearing in mind that I was on page 60 when I woke up this morning, I think I've done quite a stunning job since I've read all 251 pages now, by quarter to nine. Impressive I'd say! I really enjoyed the book but it has a horrible ending! Not quite as horrible as Letters from the Inside, which I think I'll review on here at some point when I'm not as bogged down with work. Right now I'm drinking homemade Cherry Coke, and when I say homemade, I mean I mixed Sainsbury's Coke with Sainsbury's Cherryade, et voila. It's better than either of them by themselves at least. And costs about 60p for four litres, which you really can't argue with. Given up on work for today, I'm drained. Settling for a night in with Hollyoaks and The Million Pound Drop, soaps and gameshows that I've grown too fond of since I've been here. I now regret saying that I had nothing to do here. Suddenly I've got so much to do that I'm struggling to picture when I'll have time to do it all. I'm supposed to be going back home on Saturday for a week, but I've got an assignment due in on Monday... which hinders my plans. I suppose I'll figure it out. Well I bloody well hope so.
