Apparently making an effort has its advantages. I had promised myself that I’d manage to read through all of last week’s assigned reading during the past weekend, but I procrastinated, and nothing happened… So today I pulled myself together and actually did it. From the very first moment when I woke up this morning, through to the afternoon lectures and for an hour after that I kept reading in my Cambridge Introduction to Narrative, and I had finished reading all the chapters I was supposed to have read last week, by 6pm! Now I have to finish Atonement (I love how I say ‘finish’, considering I’m only just over a quarter into the book) and consentrate on an assignment which is due in by 5pm Friday this week. Fortunately, I feel like I understand what I’ve just read about in Introduction to Narrative, which is what I’m supposed to apply in the critical exercise, so I’m not stressing about it (yet!). Other than that, I feel very organised and on top of things, and I’m very excited about how my interest in photography is on the rise again, after several months (in apparent) hibernation.
Tonight I made another fantastic meal (I know, I’m so high on myself, but I’m so proud of my achievements!). My cooking skills seem to be improving faster than I can keep up. Most of the time my conscious self has no idea what is going on, but my hands and body live a life of their own and prepare awesome meals night after night. Not that I’m complaining or anything. As long as I can cook something edible I’m happy.
Here’s a snapshot of tonight’s meal (sorry about all the food photos - if you’re keeping up with the latest from me on facebook you’ll probably have seen many photos like this one on there):
I’m so pleased with today’s effort. Time to sit back, relax, listen to music and read Atonement while enjoying a glass of ice-cold Coke Zero.
