Creativity

I don't know about you, but I get fed up with essay upon essay - especially with a degree like Literature and History, information can seem a little dry and suck the life force out of you. This is why I have decided to set my creative side more goals! Already in the pipeline I have an idea for an online magazine, but what I've realised is that with such a task on your hands, extra help is essential. So, for myself, I've decided to help a second year music student who, for his final year, is looking for a student to write short stories relating to his own brand of music. I haven't a clue what's going to be asked of me just yet, but I need to get my creative juices flowing, because I tend to just veg out in front of the TV or fall asleep or just stare at pictures of cats (sometimes all at the same time.)

More on this as it progresses!

Being 20.

I'm 5 days into my 20th year now, and already feel incredibly old, despite age being something imposed on yourself by your mind. I do, however, feel more justified in taking daytime naps and having tea in pubs and needing regular cat cuddles, so I'm already on my way to fully embracing my old age.

I had lovely Birthday celebrations, with wine a'flowing, and my close, beautiful bunch of friends back in Essex to welcome in a new decade. I feel so lucky to have such wonderful friends, and only hope I can return half their amazing-ness ! And now just to soak up the rays of my new 26inch T.V. and watch Swan Lake at the Royal Opera House c/o my boyfriend...oh, life is hard !

2 more university assignments are under my belt now, and I've found I have quite a haphazard approach to forcing myself to do work. I will undertake 30 minutes of reading, or writing, consoling myself that at the end of the said period, I can have a drink, or a piece of chocolate. Then I thought...

"Wait. This is a form of torture."

So now I just use chocolate as fuel to my engine constantly whilst attempting to complete some work.

Now to just enjoy the sunshine, ahhhh!
