Wednesday strolled around and I had barely done any work. Well I`d actually done 2 weeks work not 1 the week before so I was OK for grammar. The reading for my afternoon lecture wasn`t exactly finished either, nor for Thursday's lecture. (Did I even mention that I got my results back and didn`t fail?? Go me, I'm in the 3rd quartile). I plan to do the reading at some point before finals. I feel so American saying finals so it's all good.
I felt rather icky on the Thursday actually. I been kept up with a migraine the night before. Boo. Our evening class didn't exactly help. One of the tutors said that I was a bad student and a bad influence on Victoria. Even after I said that I was really insulted by this, she carried on. Victoria said nothing. The best I got was Astrid's interjection that it wasn't that, it was that Victoria was a good influence. After all the work I've been doing, to the point where my corridor tell me that I work too hard, it was really offensive to be told that and it hurt even more that Victoria just smiled, as if to affirm it. I made my excuses and left, skyping my mother and sister at what was for them stupid o'clock in the morning so I could have a good cry.
I was awake when people started drifting back from a party somewhere, so I chilled out in the kitchen, helped Nathan make chips and gave out chocolate. Sadly, for one night only my insomnia came back. I just couldn't sleep. I got up and did stuff, like getting my mail at 6am. I skyped my sister around 7am for which I was told off for being up so early. I then went and did some shopping. I did actually take a nap in the afternoon, after Nicole and I had planned the rest of the day which included shopping for things for that night.
It was Bonfire night and I was determined to celebrate it. I didn't think we'd really get away with a bonfire or fireworks on campus. Instead, we attempted to make parkin. I say attempted. I think the video will explain all. I have no idea what went wrong!! Oh well. We also made an effigy. He had a face, hands and shoes and a name tag. We rounded up a few people and went outside, shoving our stickman into the remains of a snowman from the first snow the week before. He didn't burn very well. Oh well. We played with sparklers. None of the Canadians or frenchies seemed it get it and very quickly went back inside. Ne'er mind, at least Nicole and Hannah got into our very British celebration.Afterwards we were a little bit silly and used the extra paper and markers that we had. The girls, after a joke that arose in Toronto made a sign for my door that says (in french) Because of hugs Seòna is pregnant with twins. There are 2 fathers :O. This clearly has got people's attention, though I wish they'd read it properly since Nathan asked if I really was pregnant. We've also told most of the boys that they are one of the fathers. It's quite entertaining. I've now taken the sign off my door.
Victoria and I were quite spectacularly late for Saturday's class yet it didn't seem to have started. We got all our work back. It stretched out a little bit but soon enough I was back in halls having lunch whilst everyone else munched on breakfast. Nicole and I went swimming. Most energising I have to admit. I wasn't counting my laps bit I swam a fair distance. Then I did some diving. Just off the side of the pool. I was not joining in with the group of boys who were throwing themselves off the diving boards any old how. I swear sometimes that it had to hurt.
I've spent the rest of my time trying to read a book for Wednesday. I say trying. It is so obscure and ultimately boring that, no word of a lie I have fallen asleep 3 times whilst reading it. I still don't have much clue what it's about either. The author doesn't seem to want to stick to one langauge or write in full sentences. Mighty confusing.
Somehow it's reached Monday again. Time escapes me sometimes and I don't really know where it has gone...
