Just got back from lunch with Jess and Annette in New Cross, in the cheapest Italian cafe ever. And the food is nice! I am so going to miss student discounts.
New Cross is funny this time of year, still dirty ('cause it is a bit of a dump! If nothing else then because of the congestion and Lewisham Road/Lewisham Way which are always smelly and noisy and crap) but quieter and more relaxed due to all the students being either away or being so caught up in exams that they just want to sit in the library, desperately looking for the next brilliant quote. Bumped into John in the library, the poor soul had his laptop stolen and hey! His dissertation went with it. So always do a backup! he said. Okay! I said, well aware that I didn't, even though my loved one keeps telling me to. I mean, I back up, but - What if there's a fire? he says.
Well, it's a lovely, warm day and upon arrival at my home I find a huge bag of sweets that my parents sent over (the Easter bunny or whatever), mainly liquorice, and a bottle of white wine in the fridge, 3/4s empty, from the other night. I resolve to drink this whilst reading the paper. General laziness overtakes. I hope to get just a couple of hours of work done today, but I'm frankly not bothered. Maybe I'll watch another couple of Sopranos episodes. Whilst eating cake. Maybe I'll have another drink. Or go to the shop and buy ice-cream.
Did I ever mention that I gained around 5 kg when I started studying?
