A Little Lost

Highlight of the Day

I don’t know why but everything just seems better today.

I guess the highlight would be starting recruitment for my dissertation. I don’t think we’ll be able to get as many people as we need to but at least now I know it’ll be straight forward to get people and shouldn’t take too long.

Today was a bit of an annoying day. I hardly slept because I’ve got used to late nights but I had uni early. We handed in some coursework which was awful, and got our last piece back. Once again I did worse than everyone I asked. I’m getting a bit bored of this pattern. We then had a really boring 3 hour lecture and a pointless tutorial, all the while I was falling asleep.

The highlight however has to be on the way back when I stopped off at Accessorize at the train station and bought myself 2 gorgeous necklaces. I figured I could buy myself a birthday present seeing as other people didn’t bother.

Today we went to a buffet lunch with my cousins and my cousin’s in-laws for his wife’s birthday. It was her first birthday since she got married and it was really nice. I also ate WAY too much, but that’s what buffets are for right? Maybe not quite to the point I got to. I was so full it just hurt!

Today was my birthday.

I was excited because it was the first year in about 7 or 8 that I didn’t have to revise for exams (I have coursework to do but I’m leaving that a little last minute once again)

Anyway it turned out my day wasn’t anything special but I did go to see the Great Gatsby and it was incredible! I already loved the book and the soundtrack but the film was great. I love the way they used the modern music to give us the feel of what it must have been like in those times.

It's official, Taylor Swift's "22" no longer applies to me

Not sure how I’m meant to feel about this?

I finally found a top to go with a skirt that I’ve had for years!

This seems like such a silly thing but I always buy skirts I like and then never have tops that go with them.

One down and many many more to go

““Marry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark.””

I went to meet my dissertation supervisors today. After people taking forever to get back to us and sort things out we finally have the go ahead to start recruitment for my project! Starting on Tuesday I’ll be going and getting patients to take part in my study :)

I have a lot of reasons to not like today.

I went to work but it was so dead that I asked to finish early so I only did an hour and a half even though I’m desperate for money. My thinking was that I needed to get home and get my coursework out of the way so that I’m not stuck spending my birthday doing it.

Then when I went to leave work my car broke down and I then had to wait for my Dad to collect me and then take my car to sort it out. Basically defeating the point of leaving work early to get on with the coursework. So I wasn’t getting paid and I wasn’t getting my work done.

I eventually got home and started on my coursework, which I discovered is WAY harder than I thought and I have been struggling with it for hours. There’s no way I’m going to have it finished before my birthday so for I think the 8th year in a row, I don’t get to celebrate it.

I know I’m kind of used to not celebrating it but I thought that this would be the first year I would have the option to actually enjoy the day instead of being stressed out (normally with exams but this year with coursework).

Anyway, I guess out of all of that the highlight would have to be that I think I’ve had some kind of breakthrough with my coursework. I’m going to send what I’ve done to my tutor and hope that she can go through it with me and tell me what I need to do.

Such a long and frustrating day.
