Today after a long day of classes I went back to work, I say back as I havent been there since I left before Christmas. It was kinda nice being there and seeing familiar faces and getting back into things as I feel a little more settled now that I am back into my routine. I also got to show off my shiney engagement ring which looks particularly good in the shop's spot lighting I must admit. I like looking down at it when I'm, say, sweeping the floor, making coffee or generally just standing around looking at it for no reason other than it's gorgeous.  22:58

Knacked
As I've been feeling a little rounder since Christmas I thought going for a run would be a good start to getting a bit fitter. I haven't been for a run in ages and due to this it turned out to be more of a brisk walk in the end. I did however enjoy the fresh air and the run/jog/walk along the canal and into Victoria Park. Many proper serious joggers passed me and I wonder how they don't die with the burning feeling in their lungs. I figure it will get better the more I do it.  21:51

Today was a learning packed day. A 3 hour lecture then 15 mins for lunch followed by an hour tutorial, from the wonderful Phillip Johnson, then another 3 hour lecture, (which turned into a 3 and a half hour lecture). The only reason he stopped was because the projector gave up or who knows it might have lasted 3 days. He is our new Patent lecturer so no more Phillip and no more interesting classes I fear.  22:47

Train station
I don't know where it came from but watching Steph get on the train and leaving me here alone was really upsetting. I was biting my lip and telling myself not to cry in public and I know she was only here for a couple of days but I'm going to miss having her here. Come back soon please!

Sights again
I feel like I have this tour guide side of me who likes showing the people who come to visit the sights of London. You know Westminster, London Eye, Thames, Buckingham Palace etc etc. She seemed to enjoy that today and we did a hell of a lot of walking so it was fun fun fun. She bought me a pedometer complete with stopwatch, light, panic alarm, clock and lightsaber. Ok that last part was made up but really it could have with its multi functioning awesomeness. Anyway I did have a point I just can't remember it. Hmm.

Tonight we went out for dinner to a lovely Italian place in Covent Garden and wandered around Leicester Square. It's been so nice having my big sister here.

Phew
So I've spent the last week within the same four walls revising and reading revising and reading god what a small room. I wonder whether it's because I hadn't done an exam for almost 4 years but this morning I have never been more nervous. I went into the exam hall a quivering mess trying to think of anything I had been revising and coming up blank. I seem to get this crazy mental block when I am highly stressed where I read the first question and not only do I not understand it but I don't even understand what the words mean. I sit and I breath and I breath some more and force myself to calm down. I read it again and suddenly exam Andrea takes over. She starts to scribble furiously, so much so that her finger has that little indent that you get for the rest of the day. People are scared that her paper might burst into flames due to the speed at which she writes. (Ok I might have made that last bit up but I want to stress just how much scribbling was involved). Anyway despite running out of time, (due to an idiotic mix-up with the timings), I answered all the questions. The feeling of elation as you walk out of an exam is a pretty awesome feeling. I wonder if it's similar to taking drugs. At least I only have to wait till April to find out the results. April!! Pfft lazy external examiners.  16:25

*sad face*
Well that wasn't nice. Leaving someone at the airport and watching them drive away is horrible, leaving your fiance and watching them drive away is heartbreaking. I don't recommend it. I know I have to go back and finish this and I know it's not long till I'll be back for good but waaaa I don't wanna. London sucks!!! 17:22

Happy New Year
Tonight it was my turn to entertain only this time Steph and Dave had to decline so it's a nice easy number to cook for. We played a little Guitar Hero, chatted about random stuff and had a giggle. I miss spending time with friends. Must make more of an effort when I get back to do this more often.  19:12
