One of those crazy girls

-->

Oh man, it’s been a tough few weeks. Honours has completely taken over my life. Well, at least for the past month anyway.

I had a literature review due in last Friday and man oh man, that took way too much out of me. Then on Tuesday I had an oral presentation worth the same amount as my Lit review, except I only worked on that for 2 days, and my Lit review for about a month. So yeah. Life.

Anyway, I’m in that period where I have no assessments that are due in the next few weeks, so I can focus all my energy on Lab work and get somewhere with my project. OR SO I THOUGHT! But there isn’t much for me to do in the Lab. Everything I need to do takes time, and long waiting periods between experiments. So I feel a bit useless, seeing everyone so busy and then me, just sitting at my desk on Tumblr. But it’s good though, it’s really nice to take it a bit easy after being so busy.

I especially like it when I get to go home. Before, I’d do work in the lab, go home and do work on assessments and repeat. But now I can actually just go home and not do any work cause I have none (for now!). I’ve been spending a LOT of time playing guitar and piano; learning songs, recording random stuff on garageband, pretending I’m a producer and adding crazy effects and what not. I forgot how much I enjoyed doing stuff like that! It’s been really good for me I think, I’ve noticed I feel a lot more happier in general. It’s just so important to keep doing things you love when life gets busy. I think it’s just as important to keep time for the stuff you love as it is to keep time for stuff you have to do, even if it’s just 30 mins every few days. Thing is, I never realized I needed it until I had it. It’s been almost therapeutic. I feel just SO much more content with everything, even with the fact I just saw about 100 dead flies in a vile lying on top of each other, rotting in their own food which had gone off.

Sorry, you didn’t need to know that. ANYWAY! I’m waiting patiently for my Paramore box set to arrive, it has two exclusive B-sides that weren’t on the album, and apparently one of the songs sounds like their older stuff (as in first album stuff), which is making me really excited. It’s nice to know that although they’ve changed so much, they still have that same element that got them started in the first place.

I’m actually in the lab right now, writing this in a Word document so it looks like I’m doing work. I should probably go. Bye!
