2013: Week 4

This week saw the snow begin to thaw. It's just as well, the ice rink outside my building was starting to be a bit treacherous.

And I think I've been wearing my gloves maybe a little bit too much...

I don't have any pictures of this, but on Tuesday I got to sing my first proper solo for a Glee performance. I sang Skyfall by Adele and everyone said I did it really well. One person even told me I gave her goosebumps when I sang it in the practise! I've never given anyone goosebumps when I've sung before, so that made me really happy :)

I didn't feel quite so happy after my first tutor meeting of the term on Thursday. It's bad enough that I had three assignments all due in that day, as well as almost 6 hours solid of work starting at 9 o'clock in the morning, but during the tutor session we had to describe our strengths, weaknesses and skills we learned in the modules we did last term. I hate doing that sort of thing. I actually cannot do it. It made me feel like I hadn't learned anything. And then I had a bit of a panic attack that I wasn't good enough for the course, and poor Apollo had to deal with me being all depressed and grumpy. So the next day I came up with a plan. It involved a quick trip to Wilko's, and lots of colourful pens.

Hopefully with this extra work I plan on doing, I will feel more confident that I can actually do maths at Warwick standard.

After a very long week, and with our kitchen having power back in the plug sockets again, I made myself a hot chocolate with marshmallows and a crushed flake I found in my snack box.

It was good :)

2013: Week 3

Basically, this week it snowed. A lot. And I took a lot of bad pictures of it.

I was trying to take a picture to show how heavy the snow was falling, and how pretty it looked. Didn't work... All this snow, however, meant that it was time to get out the cosy socks, crank up the heating, and have a hot drink.

I finally got round to using the whiteboard (wipeboard?) side of my super grown-up chalk board set.

The chalk board also came in handy when designing my rollercoaster for my Geometry and Motion homework. No lie, that was one of the questions. It actually sucked.

Apollo helped me to plan out a story line for my flash video UWC challenge.

Apparently it is a lot warmer inside my room than it is outside. I have a small lake growing on my windowsill...

Also, all of my posters appear to be cowering (or bowing down to) the sheer awesomeness that is my Catwoman poster. They keep falling off the wall. It is quite annoying.

Even my original Catwoman poster can't face the awesomeness!

So that was my week. Just ended it perfectly with a take out curry with the rest of my kitchen. I am looking forwards to left over lunch tomorrow, I can tell you!
