What a crazy busy couple of weeks!
Taking up much of my time recently has been the dreaded
deadline week. Deadline week at university is an absolute nightmare! Two
presentations and a report have definitely taken their toll on me. Exhausted
isn’t the word. Don’t get me wrong, I love being at uni… But when all the deadlines
fall around the same time it can become slightly stressful! Just as one
deadline is reached, you don’t even have five minutes to relax before you’re
back working on the next one. Although, I must admit, there is something very
satisfying about handing everything in, when only a few weeks ago there didn’t
seem to be any light at the end of the (essay and presentation filled) tunnel.
We’re on a semester break for a few weeks now, so some much
need R&R will be taking place, (well besides the dissertation that is still
looming – but let’s not think about that right now!). To kick start this short
break off I have decided to pop back home for a long weekend. Luckily my home
town isn’t located too far from my university city, so all it takes is a simple
train journey and being picked up by my loving mother from the station and I’m
home. It’s just not a journey I make very often though… I suppose the student budget (where £20 on a
train ticket is the equivalent to a week’s meals/a much needed night out) and
the fact that the majority of my closest friends have also moved away for uni,
means it’s just not something I think to do much. However this weekend I’ve
decided to come back to spend some time with my family, who I haven’t seen
since Christmas, and to attend my friends baby shower, which will be the first
baby shower I've been too so it makes it all VERY exciting!
Shopping for the baby shower has been lovely! I’m one of
those people that just loves to go out
and find someone the perfect gift! The few bits I’ve put together are both adorable
and not to costly either (which keeps my student bank account happy). After a
few hours of looking around, and visiting every baby related shop I could think
of, I decided on; an adorable comfort blanket, in beige, with the cutest little
hedgehog cuddly toy attached to the top, some tiny mittens to stop the baby
from scratching, some Johnsons baby wipes, and a tiny baby grow with the slogan
“Mini Man” with a cartoon moustache. (As my friend knows she’s going to have a
little boy).
I honestly cannot wait to give them to her!
I honestly cannot wait to give them to her!
Besides the baby shower I think this weekend will just
consist of relaxing, eating the lovely food I can’t usually afford, hopefully
some long awaited catch ups and then a train journey back up to university. This
sounds pretty good to me!
I’m definitely looking forward to seeing if there’s anything
else exciting in store for the rest of semester break!
