I haaate that book. 8[ Had to read it for IB lit and just…. nooooo
I suppose I enjoyed it because I was reading it by choice, rather than a class where you have to completely pick it to pieces. That has ruined every single book we ever read in English lessons =(

Read Candide by Voltaire yesterday
And I found it ridiculous, in a good way. I know it’s meant to be, but it just made me laugh a lot, which I wasn’t expecting. Serious misfortune, and then the ending… If you haven’t read it, then I recommend you do so, it’s only 100 pages. Poor old Cunegonde…

So I’ve been at home for 2 weeks, it’s been lovely, and there’s 2 weeks of the holidays left - I bet they’re just going to fly by, even though the first 2 weeks went really slowly (which I wanted!). I put on 1lb over Christmas which I’m perfectly happy with since I thought it would be worse, but it’s tricky getting back on track when we still have lots of...

Put on 1/2lb last week - probably due to eating half a gingerbread house…
Off home tomorrow, so my group at home will be Tuesday instead, for a month.

After having a chat with my personal tutor today, I feel much better about things. I emailed her asking for a meeting because I want to improve my grades and I’m really not sure how to go about it. We figured it’s not because I leave work too late (I start really early), not because I don’t do the reading (I always do), not because I’m working hungover (don’t really...

Hmm, haven’t logged into LOTRO for a while. Sort of lost interest in it lately, since Isolde is max level, plus there have been essay deadlines etc due to it being the last week of term. And I’m more interested in reading A Song of Ice and Fire at the moment =D And also finishing off Portal 2.
HEY. Hey. hey.

Blah, I need to stop looking at stuff about Oxford University. It just makes me more and more depressed. I really want to go there, for a few reasons. Firstly, it seems to be one of the few places that offers the postgraduate course I want to do that’s not really far to the north of the country. Secondly, since suffering through two years of hellish sixth form, which resulted in depression...
Currently eating a bowl of baked beans with Branston pickle mixed in. IT’S SO GOOD YET SOUNDS SO BAD.
Don’t see the point in buying anymore food, since I’m off home on Saturday, so I’m just living off what I have left. Which is lots of beans.

Just watched episodes 7 & 8 of Forbrydelsen II
Can’t wait for the final two next week! I love that series so much, I wish they’d do more. I also really like how Danish sounds, I have a thing for Germanic languages ;)

I meant to say in my Slimming World post earlier, I saw the doctor on Wednesday about going back on Dianette, the pill that actually helped my HS. This doctor has been so much more understanding than the last one, she said that even though I get migraines, which is a risk factor on Dianette, if my BMI drops to 25 I should be able to go back on it again (or a contraceptive pill that helps skin,...

Why are you so useless?
iheardavoice replied to your post: Yay!
Well done honey! I’m so proud of you :D Cannot wait to see you - 8 days to go! xxxx
Yay, it’s going to be so fun! =) I’ve already wrapped all my Christmas presents, and I kind of want to put them under the tree already…

Yay!
Went to my Slimming World meeting tonight, and I bashed on through my weight loss target for this week - I lost 3lbs! I really don’t know how, considering it was my birthday on Monday and I ate lots of cake, but I’m so happy! That means I lost the 2lbs I put on last week, and hit my 1 and a half stone award.
Thought I’d treat myself after the group, so before the bus turned up I...

This post actually made me want to cry. I know exactly what this person is feeling. HS is so difficult because it’s so hard for other people to understand - you really don’t want to explain it to someone you don’t know well. It’s really difficult to explain why you’re limping, or having trouble raising your arms, or just moving in general. And...

I’m so glad I’m now taking the time in the evenings to sit down with a book, rather than spending the evenings gaming or something. I missed the days when I could just sit and read all day, now I only really do that in the holidays but occasionally a book or series comes along that just has me hooked. Currently it’s the Hunger Games series, very nearly finished Catching Fire and...

After gaining 2lbs last week, I’ve been really good since Thursday, making sure I have plenty of fruit and veg, and limiting my syns - apart from yesterday. It was my birthday, and I went out for a meal at Las Iguanas with my boyfriend and housemates. It was lovely, I told myself I’d just have water to drink but I gave in and had a virgin Pina Colada (saving some syns there, since it...
