Eclairs
Before I went home last weekend, I’d said to my mum that I really wanted to do some cooking while I was there. I love cooking and baking, but it’s just so hard to do it at uni – the kitchen’s tiny and most of the time it’s covered with dirty washing up. I also …
Just A Catch Up
So, Christmas is officially over. The decorations are all packed up, the tree ready to be taken away and I’m back at uni. It’s always a strange thing coming home from uni or going back after a holiday. It’s like I’ve got two completely separate lives and I’m switching between them. Both have good things …
Catching Up
Ok, ok, I know I haven’t posted in a while *hangs head in shame*, but I’m here now and that’s what counts. I have been busy doing lots of interesting (and not so interesting) things and the blogging just had to slow down for a little bit. So, what have I been up to? Well, …
A Student’s Weekend
I’ve done it again. I thought I’d learnt my lesson last year, but apparently not. I’ve left it until I’ve run out of clothes before doing my laundry. I’m not sure why, but it just feels like a weekend job to me, so even if I only have a few items of clothing left, I …
A Dilemma
I’m not afraid to admit that I’m pretty stingy. It’s not that I don’t want to give people lots of nice presents and I always pay my share if we order pizza or something, it’s just I don’t like spending money. This is why I’m such a rubbish shopper – I would rather have money …
Rachel’s Birthday
Wednesday was Rachel’s 22nd birthday and naturally I kept my day free to celebrate in true Murphy style. Then she told me she was going shopping in Stratford and I ran in the opposite direction. It’s not that I wouldn’t have enjoyed myself, but I’d spent all of Tuesday (along with Rachel and Padraig) coaching …
Hot Nights and ‘Banana Splits’
Revising for exams all day really makes my head fill up with gobbledey-gook and at the end of the day, I really like to try and switch from the ‘high stress, not enough time, hyperactive’ mode into the ‘trying to relax enough that I can sleep’ mode. The first thing I do is put some …
Today
Today, I… … woke up and thought it had snowed – it turned out to be cherry blossom that had escaped the tree… … played Jenga with my textbooks… … tried to be healthy by snacking on cashew nuts (after eating a cheese and onion roll, crisps and a cookie, oops! I blame it on …
Home Is Where The Mum Is
I’m back at home this weekend to compete in a canoe race tomorrow. My mum’s been visiting Heather for a few days with my grandma, which meant that when I arrived last night, I came home to an empty house as both Patch and my dad were out. It was very strange and really quiet which …
Emergency Chocolate
So, I’m back at uni. Back to the revision, back to the power naps and back to the washing up. But I was more prepared to come back this time and I’m ready to work. I’m also prepared for the down times and revision breaks – I tell you, one thing the Easter holidays are …
