Work, Chillin, Stress, Movies...

I am happy to announce that I do not have a cold for a change how exciting, and hopefully it stays that way *touch wood* because I have a lot to do right now, I cannot afford to lie in bed and be on a recovery mode nuh uh!

I have managed to get an essay out of the way, however it needs fixing and it would have been done and dusted by now had my tutor not got the meeting dates mixed up, which now means I will be two weeks behind on editing, great(!) Thus, I am stressed! I am currently working on my dissertation; it is coming along well, trying to wrap it up now. I just hope my supervisor is happy with it, I don’t wish to make big changes, because after this I have a 5000 word essay due which is worth 100% which is rather insane especially because, if for whatever reason I don’t do well in it then I won’t even have a degree :-O Right now it’s a stressful time, and in two weeks time it’ll all be over, I cannot wait! I need to get myself down to the beach, hopefully a nice holiday somewhere in Europe? Lots and lots of shopping and picnics in the park, given that the weather still stays warm and lovely.

I am going to watch FAST FIVE tonight! I’m really excited to see Paul Walker on the big screen again, action, cars, fit guys, hot weather & a slush puppy in hand; it doesn’t get any better than that :) The reviews for the movie are really good, so I’m hoping it won’t be a letdown. I attempted to watch it on Friday with my sister in law, but we ended up getting lost because the damn Blackwall Tunnel was closed, we ended up near Island Gardens, then Mile End and eventually on London Bridge :-\ there were no diversion signs either, we somehow couldn’t figure out how to cross the damn river. So close yet so far. Turned out to be a pretty nice evening though, cruising in a Jag, windows down and playing the latest hot songs!

Long time no see!

Wow it has been a while hasn’t it? I have been up to so much that reflecting back on it seems to be a huge BLUR! Let me begin with that nasty cough that attacked me the last time I put up a blog, well I thought that was the last of it but noooo, my body had different plans! I recovered from the cough within four days or so, but then on a Thursday sunny morning, at work I came under attack! It was extremely warm in the office, but I had to search for the heater because I was absolutely freezing, even though I was hovering above the heater I was still a tad bit shivery. Then during lunch time I couldn’t even eat, and what’s worse is that I couldn’t even watch Iplayer like I routinely do, I had to turn that off and nap for twenty minutes, my head and neck were burning up which is why I thought it’s the fever. I was told by my colleague that I should go home, but I’ve never left work half way, it’d feel weird and wrong? Haha don’t know why. I stuck it out and then in the afternoon I began to feel insanely HOT, at that point I still refused to believe that I might actually be very ill. Well to cut this long story short, I was ill for six days in total, still have a bit of a cough. I am hoping this is the last cold I have this academic year, I assume I’ll be receiving a new batch of germs in October :(

Let me move on to sports news, CRICKET :-D I became a little cricket crazy! It was the world cup this year, and my country India won! :) It was extremely exciting to watch, especially the last two matches, it is believed that over one billion people tuned in to watch the India vs. Pakistan game, and a good game it was! In the finals, we were up against Sri Lanka, which turned out to be a FAB game, after 28 years of winning the last cup the victory was ours once more. Lovely atmosphere across London, people celebrating eating and drinking. At the moment the Cricket IPL is taking place, sadly I don’t have the time to watch much television anymore, so I’m not keeping up with this.

So what else? My uni work is going ok, was a little behind schedule to the cold/flu(whatever it was!) I am back on track now, trying to keep on top of it. I have a lot to do still and not much time left, right now it’s very much early wake up’s and late night’s, miss my sleep! I am currently surviving on Coke, Sprite and Boost; maybe I should have pro-plus too! 16,500 words to do within 28 days, now that is a challenge.

Well I must crack on with some dissertation work, blog back in two weeks time, cheerio x
