my room here is lovely. it really is - brand new building, en-suite bathroom (a luxury in this country, especially in student accommodation), lots of wardrobe and shelf space. i love it. there's only one problem with it: i'm on the ground floor and since this block is very new, space to build it was scarce. which means that the tennis courts are right outside of my window. so on saturdays and sundays, when the weather is nice, people playing tennis look at me drying my hair, or sorting out my laundry. i thought that problem would be over now that it's, you know, freezing cold and rainy. instead, i get the people working on the grounds apparently burning half of the college's leaves right outside. queue smoke and flames three metre high.
sigh.
enough whingeing. the past week has been spent vegging out and doing very little amount of work (it's fine - the one great thing about eight week long terms is that i get six weeks off for christmas), and now i'm slowly waking up and preparing myself for a nice weekend in london seeing various friends and possibly getting very drunk. it shall be lots of fun.
my mood has ever so slightly improved - the first week of christmas break was hell, i was crashing, i was depressed, i wanted to escape this place. these feelings are now very slowly evaporating thanks to the laziness of it all and finally regaining my status as a normal human being. it's helped that somehow my dvd collection has increased enormously (mainly due to me borrowing lots of things!) so i have been watching house md, scrubs, grey's anatomy (i loooove medical tv series), spaced (special edition dvds are now mine!), coupling and... that's it. i'm in full dvd obsession again and might be ordering the first and second series of the l word soon. yay. :)
now i need to worry about christmas presents. shit. i suck at buying presents. help please?!? i need presents for my parents, my aunt, my brother and m. and possibly find some small things for my other friends too. it's never going to happen. i guess i can do it in paris when i'm there... right?!?
i think it's time for some more scrubs. don't you?
