I've had an awesome weekend. An old friend of mine came back from Cornwall to catch up with her old house mate in Bristol. I used to work with them both, plus another guy who I used to work with. So I trained it over to Bristol and met them for afternoon drinks. I had forgotten the laid back ways of these people, and by 8 o'clock it was decided that I would stay the night. No toothbrush and no hairbrush and no bed. Cushions and chewing gum. Usually, an impromptu suggestion like that would be turned down by me, but even after not having seen these friends for several years, they made me feel entirely relaxed. We went to some really cool pubs. Their housemate who I haven't met before cooked some amazing vegan food... my Cornish friend is allergic to nearly all food sources: gluten, dairy, wheat... I sometimes find it a wonder that she's a functioning human. I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything with this particular meal though, it was inspired. We ended up staying up chatting and listening to music 'til about six in the morning. It was wonderful. I guess that's part of the student life I've always been too scared to live. Much as it was wonderful, I was relieved to be back home and back to my little ritualistic routines that make me feel at peace.
Yesterday I decided that Friday night was the perfect way to say a temporary farewell to drinking, and so last night I just drank water. I have woken up this morning with a clear head, and I feel great. And proud. It may only be one night, but I had got stuck in a rut with it, and I feel the wheels are back in motion.
Hopefully I've pulled myself together in time to play some major catch up with S3. I'm going to print off the TMA today and read it. I haven't read any of the text books yet, but I can still at least get an idea of what they are after, I hope. I have 3 blocks to read in as many weeks. Actually, I'm not ready to think of the sheer scale of work that's ahead. That will not serve to keep me on the straight and narrow! One step at a time. For now, it's just printing the TMA!
I e-mailed my first game off to a few mates. It's become quite a hit, which is cool. And all it consists of is randomly floating poorly drawn happy and sad faces that score + and - points respectively. Wait until I learn how to make mazes! Ha ha.
Back to normal :)
