The most important people in my life right now: Sophie, Kirsty, James, Dean, Jana and Freddie. Thank you because you are always there when I need you, thank you because you always make me laugh, thank you because you always make me happy. My life would be nothing without you.
And so, Jana left this morning and I have to say these 3 and something days with her have been amazing. We haven't stopped moving one second, we've been all over London, we have laughed and talked and exchanged opinions a lot. My friends all loved you darling! Especially Sophie and Kunal, it seems. *lol* I can't wait to be in Croatia to visit you and to go in all sort of beautiful places and to meet your friends too, and see all those beautiful places you told me about.
I am now 1500 words into my essay, and the rest should be rather easy (I only have to finish writing one of the main sections and do the introduction and the conclusion), so I should be finished by tonight and then I will start the readings for my other essay. If I get to read everything by tomorrow afternoon, I will have two evenings to write, which should be more than enough. I am rather happy with myself for that.
Today I realized once more that I really need to put a lot of effort in my Vietnamese and during the next month I have to force myself to study the vocabulary every single day, because judging on the exams from the past years, the questions are mostly based on that, and the grammar is really not that hard... But I am sure I will be fine with that too.
So, I am rather happy but depressed at the same time. On one side everything is fine and nice, I have my friends, I am studying things that I like, I am doing good at school, I am having lots of fun, but on the other side I sense this feeling of closure that is coming by the fact that in three days the term will be finished and I really don't want it to, and that Dean is leaving tomorrow and I'll be leaving in one week from now... Even though my Easter holidays should be more than great, I feel more and more like my place is London, and I have to be here to be completely happy. I know I will be perfectly happy in Paris, Italy and Croatia, but I know I will be a bit homesick, because London has such a special place in my heart.
What else? I can't stand to read about Taiwan and South Korea anymore, even though the subject is rather interesting... I will wait until friday morning before reading my essay again though!!! Three days of waking up early and working face me now, and then... Relative freedom for one month. But... I never thought I would say this one day, I'd rather stay here and go to uni than leave and be on holiday... *lol*
By the way, absinthe is really nice and I get drunk with just one glass of it. Gh. Last night was lots of fun apart from one event that upset me and depressed me at the same time, but hopefully everything will go back to normal before the holidays. I can't say more than this.

Version

Because a picture is worth a thousand words, and I cannot describe my life better than a picture can.
And because my heaven is here, I'll wrap the world around it and live in a cocoon. Quoting from a favourite song, 'Letting the cables sleep' by Bush, in its incarnation as a remix. And I do wish the friend who introduced me to the song was here to see the way things turned out.
