I have a serious problem when it comes to busy periods in my life: I cannot handle stress! At.all. I had so much to do last week that I pretty much had to write most of my short essay on the day of the deadline and I just can't function when it's like that. I just panic and think about how impossible it is and turn into a complete and utter psycho.
I had planned that I would get up early on Friday and just stay at home and do the writing but then Andy informed me that the plumber was coming on Friday to install a new boiler. Ok...we both thought it would be a quick job so I stayed at home. Ummm it really wasn't a quick job. They came in here and pretty much took over the whole apartment.
I then decided to go to the library, which turned out to be closed. So at 10 am I had no choice but to head out and take the train to uni. Now it takes me 1 & 1/2 hours to get there so I was not happy about this. I may have acted a little bit irrational and cried my eyes out when I realized how little time I had. Anyway, I started working around noon and could in fact leave uni at 5 and submit my paper...
The lesson here? CALM DOWN! It can be done.
After that stressful week of hell I did manage to have a lovely weekend. We went up north to Andy's parents and spent the weekend there. On Saturday we went for a walk in this huge park and then went out for indian food in the evening. On Sunday morning we had a full English breakfast. Now, I used to be a vegetarian so this is not really a favourite of mine. But I must say I'm getting used to it, I can even manage to squeeze down a sausage and a tiny piece of bacon these days *proud*!
