Ort Hopping: Three Cities and a Village Later | Days 47-74

I'm back! Apologies where they're due, I know it's been almost a month since anything even touched this blog; exams loomed and everything got a bit stressful. But that's over. And I'm in Germany! I finished exams, and with them my first year of University, and now I'm at a job in Lübeln. Rather than post 30 full size instagram photos to catch you up, I'm going to put some mini pictures of everything I've put on instagram since the last post. Easier and fast for us both. Here it is!


So from the top down, you see me burdened with exams and longing for a night out; my beautiful big sister's 22nd birthday; booking flights to Germany; the Flat K finale (end of exams celebration); house-sitting for my sister (cat and wifi included!); leaving halls; and the last 9 are dedicated entirely to Germany. 

I stayed for a night in Berlin - as you can see! - before every train in Germany, a bus and a taxi to reach Lübeln. More on Lübeln later. I'm back in business!

Progress (finally) | Day #15

I've managed to get some work done, shocker! I desperately need to get back into the swing of giving my brain an allocated time each day for academics [that means not watching The Good Wife 24/7]. It doesn't help that I've completely mentally blocked the fact the exams start in just over 2 weeks and I've got 2 essays in at the same time. Anyway, here's today's photo:


As you can see, definitely enough highlighting and post-it noting for me to call it revision. I've even annotated the text. Pat-on-the-back worthy, don't you think? I am good at this... I promise.

On Stationery and Becoming Stationary | Happy Day #9

Day nine! Not exactly cloud nine, but close enough. Today was dedicated to running errands in town, grocery shopping and watching more Good Wife. Stationery lovers among you will understand the eternal struggle that is resisting a splurge whenever you're in the vicinity of  Paperchase, WHSmith's... just about any similar retailer. Well, guilty as charged: I couldn't help myself. Here's my happyday's snap:

I'm telling myself that these are for strictly revision-based purposes. Truthfully, I haven't started my revision yet. Some of you will be alarmed, others not so much, to find out that I've 3 weeks until my first exam and I've come to a complete academic halt. My brain has been completely stationary since Thursday. It's probably wise for me to start revision ricky-tick if I want to pass, but TV and internet calls. 
Maybe tomorrow will be more revision weighted, who knows?
