Drop it Doe Eyes

It's been a day or two since the last post. I have been trying to finish my assessment and feeling massively tired, so I didn't have time to update. 

But now - I've finished my assessment, and I've discussed with John about cutting down my hours, so for the next 2 months or so, I'm only working 3 days a week. This is brilliant. Really the title of today's post should be 'Weightless' because that is how I feel. Knowing that I'm going to have 4 days a week all to myself is like the best thing ever. I've spent the last couple of months feeling like I've had no time to spare, and now it's like whhheeeeeeeee. Yeah. Like being weightless. 

The picture is yesterday's sunrise. I woke up around 6am, and the sun was shining through my window, so I pulled back my blind to see if the sunrise was good enough to take a picture of, and managed to blind myself... twice. So I decided it would be better to judge by taking a photo instead of looking directly at the sun. It seemed to work, it's a nice sunrise. 

What else? Students are starting to go home, so I'm going to be bombarded with parents and students spending half an hour staring at photos going "ooh I like this one" "no, I think you look better in this one"  = annoying. Not that I have a problem with them spending lots of money. But I will have to deal with all of them by myself. Yay...

I bought South's third album yesterday - 'Adventures in the Underground Journey to the Stars' - I never thought I'd actually bother to get it, and then suddenly, it was right in front of me, and I was like MUST GET. So I did. It's very good. I also got Sonic Youth's 'Daydream Nation' which is equally good. There's something Smashing Pumpkins-ey about it somehow, I can't quite put my finger on it. Unlike Silversun Pickups which I was listening to the other day and is like so Pumpkins it's... weirdly great. 

5 days now until Latitude tickets go on sale and the line-up is released. I may have lied when I said I wasn't going to get my hopes up about Nada Surf playing. I so want them to now. I've also decided that one festival I must try to get to at least once in my life is SXSW. It's a bit of a journey seeing as it's in Texas, but if I ever get the money... or happen to be in America at this time of year... well, you never know.

You! Me! Dancing! 

Listening to that. Ughhh I'm so tireeeed. At least I get to sleep a bit extra tomorrow as I don't have to catch the bus as early on a Saturday. I worked out that working 3 days a week, if I walked from and back to Trumpington then my total weekly bus fare would be £5.70. That's basically a third of what I'm paying at the moment. And when the weather's nice enough I'll cycle. So despite the fact I will be earning less money, I will also be saving money on transport and buying lunch instead of bringing food from home. So successes all round really. 

Anyway, I might do something productive now. Like reading. My God, I'm going to have the time to finish reading all the Sherlock Holmes stories! YES! :D

Byee
