cats + giant prawns

On friday last week I went home to London for the weekend, which I particularly enjoyed as I was reunited with my 3 cats (and family). It was a relaxing weekend, however extremely unproductive, making me feel slightly guilty once I’d returned to Brighton as I’d planned to get lots of work done. Therefore, if I could go back to last Friday and re-live the weekend, I would make the effort to complete at least some work.

Pippin!

During this week I have been fairly unproductive in terms of work, but have cleaned and sorted out things in the kitchen and bedrooms of my student house, which was very rewarding and had been hanging over me for weeks. I’ve also started to take only half my anti-depressant dose because they have made me gain so much weight over the past few months which has made me really unhappy. Therefore this week has been quite up and down, including a not so great trip to a Japanese restaurant in the Laines last night (everything was oily and expensive and gross).

This week could have been improved if I’d worked on some of my assignments, so I wouldn’t feel so unproductive and stressed as I do now. In the future I will improve my time management and balance work with cleaning, as well as down time to relieve stress and a rush near to deadlines.

I also feel kinda down because 2 of my friends’ relationships have ended in the past couple of days and they are both distraught. I’m going to put in a lot of effort this weekend to cheer them up and do lots of work on 2 of my unfinished assignments so that once I return to Brighton on Sunday night I feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, not disappointment and anger at myself for being lazy (which is how I usually feel).

RIP Mibby and Camma 🙁
