the past few days have been spent slipping and sliding through the ever-falling snow, which has, in recent days, degenerated into some form of sludge. pee-yew. in that time, i have tried to huddle together with the rest of my housemates and try to muster up some warmth. yes indeedy, the weather is pretty cold, ladies and gents. not very good when trying to start up the brain in preparation for doing some tangible work.

terribly ironic how the snow started the very day someone left for a ski-holiday. not that durham snow can compare in any way, shape or form with the snow elsewhere in europe though! :D

but, i digress. how quickly a week has flown. that also means we're one week closer to the ball (next week) finally all the hard work and all that we've put in will be reaped. yet, at the same time, i worry whether it will all turn out alright. it's a hard balance, trying to work out which classes i can bunk off in order to get everything sorted out just so for the ball next thursday. that, and the fact that so many things are due the week after that. somehow it just doesn't seem to justify the debauchery of one night. that, plus the fact that the work i targeted to get done by today is still very much a work in progress. things are not, and i mean not, looking good.

i just stared at my reflection in the mirror yesterday. hate to sound like a botox queen wannabe, but there are frown lines present... guess the dreaded hereditary forehead has befallen me as well, after a whole 21 years of avoiding it. damn! just when i thought i was safe.

and with reference to the last post on this blog, next week will tell all whether i've found my shoe. you know what i mean. fingers crossed.
