home and happy

funny how home now refers to two separate places.

came back to my flat and was semi-relieved to find it as i'd left it, the only change being the pile of christmas cards on my desk the cleaning lady must've brought in :)

really like this separate, selfish existence i'm afforded as a student. the independence and privacy is worth any amount of laundry or cooking required to sustain such a lifestyle. of course, seeing how i was meaning to study this weekend, food's been limited to whatever the cafe across the street has to offer. this morning alone, it's been a toasted focaccia, sour cream and chive dip, cream crackers with cream cheese, hot chocolate, a large cheese savoury, creamy vegetable soup and more chocolate than i care to admit to. and oops, we've not even hit lunch yet! much as i'd love to blame the cold, it's truly my non-existent restraint. hmm wasn't panic supposed to suppress appetite?

also have the weirdest jetlag where i sleep from 6pm to 3am, wake for 3 hours then go back to sleep for another 3. not the most conducive of sleep patterns. exams monday and tuesday then have the rest of the week off. well, almost. have a hospital visit on thursday then on friday i'm headed to edinburgh :) yay to a good week - and resuming normal sleep.
