Library Life

Again, it’s been a long time since I last wrote a post but we are doing better than we ever did last year. I think partly it’s because I have a new app called ‘Balanced’, which (whilst I mostly ignore it) reminds me that I have to do a couple of things. Like: drinking water, calling friends, writing letters, and continuing the blog.

It’s the end of second term now; almost everyone left for home this weekend for the Easter holidays. I am staying, however, until Thursday – to try and get an essay done (or at least start it) and to have a couple more shifts at work. So far it’s going okay, I had a peaceful weekend and have been sitting in the library with Carnell pretty much all day today. Haven’t actually started the essay yet, but I’ve found and read my play and gathered quite a few resources on it, so that I can knuckle down tomorrow and do a lot of reading. Fun, fun, fun.

Things were kinda lonely once Ry went home on Saturday; we’re still doing very well, now having reached 13 months – 13 Months! It seems impossible, but I’m pretty sure that we’ll be lasting. There’s no reason for us not to be. We’re just so comfortable with each other, and it just… works. The only thing that slightly irks me is his inability to understand food, and healthy food at that. I mean, he hates fruits. Who hates fruits? But even so, surely the health benefits out way the fact that you don’t particularly like the flavour of the food. Although, that’s kinda hypocritical of me to say…

I think the reason for that frustration is mostly because I’ve been trying to eat healthily though. It’s much more difficult when you have to cook for two people, and the other person is not interested in living the same lifestyle as you. Making two different breakfasts, lunches and dinners isn’t really on the cards (and I definitely don’t have the funds for it), but I can’t eat all the health-foods by myself because they go out of date too quickly. I have, however, decided to ‘go organic’ – mostly, within reason. I’ve been watching documentaries on food, and what you should eat, and mostly it just says stick with lots of fruit and veg. I don’t think I’m as unhealthy as the people in the documentaries used to be, but I reckon my body deserves a reboot.

Really looking forward to Easter now though, I just want to go home and be able to relax, walk the dogs, and not have to worry about anything. Which is why the essay needs to be done first. But then Ry and I are also going on holiday! Hopefully I’ll take lots of pictures, it will be effortlessly romantic and the weather will stay warm, but we’ll see. I don’t think Ry has been abroad in years…

Anniversary.

So, it’s been a little longer than I would have intended between posts, but at the same time at least it’s not six months! Things are going very well at the moment. In the past two weeks I’ve managed to read another book, gone from broke to relatively okay (when it comes to money), and Ry and I celebrated our One Year Anniversary as a couple. WOOOOOOOOO!

It’s the first time I’ve ever made it to a year, seeing as every other time it would get to about 2 months and I’d stop caring… Apart from with the Boy. But we don’t care about him anymore. In fact, there isn’t anyone else to care about except Ry – no one has ever made me feel as good as he does. He’s the most incredible person I’ve ever met, and I’m not afraid to tell him so. I know he’s not going to get scared by my passion, or weirded out by my strangeness – he’ll never run away, and I think he loves me just the same, overwhelming amount that I love him, which is perfect. I don’t think this is going to change for a very long time, and I’m completely happy with that.

I’ve only been working 2 days a week at the moment too, so I think overall I’ve become much more productive with my time. I don’t necessarily do all the exercise I would like, but I go to two exercise classes a week – or do one at home if it’s cancelled. I’ve been eating okay, although not following the FitGirl ebook that I downloaded – I need to get back into that, but it’s very difficult with my all-over-the-place Uni schedule. It asks for a lot of meal prepping and I just don’t have the space. On the other hand, whilst fitness levels are (slowly) increasing, I’ve also been doing much better with getting work done on times.

I now, and don’t even believe it myself, read (most) of the things for drama.
I also watch all the lectures for English,
and own the Anthology book I refused to buy before.
I have already finished an assignment not due til this Friday (!)
Whilst also deciding that I’m drafting an English essay on Friday, thats not due for two weeks.

The only problem I’ve encountered so far is getting in touch with old friends – I need to speak to Willcock again soon to figure out what we’re doing and when we’re seeing each other. Also, need to write a letter to Ms. Morgan, and speak to Pheebs.

The only other person alluding me is Mads.

It’s very difficult to talk to her because she’s in Aus, but it’s been an awfully long time since we last had a proper, long conversation. I haven’t seen her in person in almost a year now, and the last time we Skyped was probably September. I have always had a lot of faith in our friendship, seeing as it’s almost 16 years in the making, but this year has been a bit of a weird one. I think it’s because we’re now both ‘grown up’ – she works, lives in an apartment with her boyfriend, and is a proper member of society. I’m half way there, working, at Uni, in a student house. So our lives are changing drastically. I just hope that she still cares about me, and our friendship, as much as I care about her. I hope so. God, I hope so. I don’t want us to fall out of touch.
