April fool

My sincere apologies for the gap since my last post. I know not too many people are hanging on my every word here but I like to keep things consistent. However I feel my excuse is fairly legitimate; it's that time of year again where I forget how to dress properly and a weekly trip to sainsburys is the only time I see daylight- yes, the exam period is upon us. Specifically, the final ever exam period I will ever have the pleasure of experiencing.

April flew by in a haze of fluorescent highlighter and multi-coloured spider diagrams, chained to my desk. I don't know about you but I have no idea how people find the library to be a good place to revise. Personally I find the best way is to recite what you're trying to learn out loud in different voices. Granted I must sound a little insane to my housemates but I'm sure they've got used to my incoherent rambling by now. I intended to make this post my (slightly belated) end of the month catch up, but honestly I don't have much to say about the last month. I also realised I never did a March catch up either (please don't hurt me) so I'll just give you a quick run-down of the things that are keeping me sane.

TV programme: When I'm revising I need something easy to watch in my breaks. This time I've chosen Sabrina the teenage witch. The whole thing is on youtube and I have no shame in saying I'm loving my choice, despite how ridiculously fake looking Salem is.

Exercise: I'm trying out the whole 'healthy body, healthy mind' idea at the moment and I never thought I'd say this but I'm starting to enjoy a bit of exercise. Now that I'm back at uni I've suspended my running habit as everyone else here seems to be able to run 5k and barely break a sweat; however I have started doing blogilates videos every other morning and I actually feel quite good for it, although it's a good job I'm spending the majority of my life sat down as most days my stomach muscles ache where I didn't know it was possible for them to.

Online shopping: The combination of student loan and exam period is not a good one. Unfortunately I can't justify a day in town, but I'm pretty sure the big dogs at ASOS must have caught on to it being exam time as they've been rolling out the discount offers every few days. So far in the last few weeks I've bought a blouse, two dresses, a pilates mat and a re-usable water bottle. There's just something about anticipating a parcel in the post that makes being chained to your desk all day er'day slightly less soul-destroying.

I think I should just end this post here as I feel like if it continues I might just end up smashing my hands on the keyboard in the hopes of something legible appearing. Don't worry, in three weeks time I'll be back to being able to use my full brain capacity to write about the happier things (read: food) in life. Pray for me that I make it that far without my brain imploding/making myself bankrupt...
