Ah, the break is over. I’m not sure how I feel about this.
On the one hand, it’s great to get back into the daily grind, because I love being busy, but on the other hand lies the problem that I didn’t do enough work over the break, so now I’m going to be overwhelmed by it for the rest of the trimester. I don’t like the sound (or thought) of that, especially considering how I’ve got other things I’d rather do in my spare time than read my course texts and write essays… I’m going to give out my CV to several cafès in Wellington as soon as possible as well, so if I get a job that means less spare time and less study time. Eeek.
But hey! Let’s (always) look on the bright side of life. Maybe I worry too much? Today, the first thing that met me at uni was an A for the first project we did in Film101. Now that’s good news. But instead of celebrating, I spent the entire afternoon preparing the essay that’s due in on Friday, ‘cause apparently you can’t just write a philosophy essay like you can with most other essays. You have to understand the problem and actually state your own opinion, so instead of writing a draft today (which was the initial plan), I spent several hours just reading about public art and its purpose… When I felt like I was actually ready to write something, I realised that philosophy essays are written in a completely different style than what I’m used to, so I had to look up the guidelines online and read through them, which cut back another hour of my precious time. In the end I left the library without having written a single word for the essay itself, but I think I got all the basic preparation out of the way.
And did I mention that we had like 17 degrees outside today? It was pretty awesome.
I made my fabulous chicken and corn soup (with rice) tonight, it was better than ever, and it’s the first time in ages I actually cooked a proper meal that included meat. I’m so full at the moment. I’m feeling way too content and relaxed…
