November Updates

I don’t like writing this negative post but this is sort of like a diary for me and this bit is true. Since starting my next year of uni, I have managed to get behind a great deal again. Sad times. Even though in a previous post I stated that I was determined to prove to myself that I would get myself organised and on top of things, so far not so good unfortunately.

For some bizarre reason work picked up just as I was starting the module, and when I do have some time alone I just seem to want to relax, sometimes to recover from work. This is obviously a habit I need to get over. It’s only a 30 credit part time course and so I don’t entirely understand why I let myself slip, though I have struggled with some of the basic concepts that I hadn’t studied previously as I am not a maths student and am in fact a science student (you skip a previous maths module). I only ever really want to study for about a hour each night maximum, my concentration span is really that bad.

At the moment I am trying to focus on improving myself. I do have an interest in astrology, not as much as I used to but I still have a little look every now and then. One thing I do keep an eye on is a solar return. This year (birthday to birthday) it looks as if the universe is giving me the energy of change. I’m hoping I can ride with this energy to change myself for the better in terms of overcoming my shortcomings and demons; instead of it becoming something negative. I think everyone would agree that trying to get past these things into something positive takes a lot of effort because it is not easy.

I also forgot to say Happy Halloween on the 31st of October! I celebrated it alone this year, but it was rather nice watching Hocus Pocus in bed eating Hotel Chocolat’s Halloween chocolates. It felt all a bit rushed this year and I didn’t dress up. I could spend a whole weekend just watching Halloween-y films! I did listen to Panic! at the Disco’s It’s Almost Halloween though.

Isn’t it getting all a bit cold outside now, this is the part of autumn that I am not all that keen on. So far this year, autumn has been rather warm still, but not since the start of November. It makes me look to the future and try to figure out how many months it will take to warm again. I really don’t like mid-January until about April/May. Maybe it’s because of the old school/college days of getting nervous about preparing for exams etc., it’s also because there is nothing really to look forward to or get excited about for so long. Bit of a boring time really, though I shouldn’t really say that because my boyfriend’s birthday is during that period lol. Pancake Day happens to be too!

Still, I have been enjoying walks wearing a big jumper and coat with cold on my cheeks. Seeing all the colourful leaves on the pavements next to the remaining green grass. Last night was bonfire night, it was nice looking around at all the firework displays in the distance. Apart from that we didn’t really do anything. Pinterest has all different recipes and party ideas for it which did have me inspired though I didn’t actually do anything about it.

I have been thinking about making a look book with all my clothes and potential outfits; coats; TV show reviews; Halloween-y films; dance films; last but not least Christmas!

Oh, and I also visited MCM Comic Con last weekend! Should really post about that next..

I feel like I have forgotten to write something, which is unnerving.

Back to the maths,
