Bleugh.

I manage to feel ill, sick, hot, and like I'm going to explode. All at the same time. Awful timing, naturally.

Curses

Damn. What to do. Please tell me, oh Higher-Being-Concerned-with-Jobs..

^^)

I have taken on a new persona! Hahaha it's so brilliant, and not just for me! Maybe one orchestra's-worth of people will find out..

?

Is it wrong to live from weekend to weekend?

Dream is collapsing

I have listened to this song way too much. It's not having as much of an effect on me as it used to, so I'm forcing myself not to cave in and listen. Effort.

Anywho, things. I'm learning Japanese. I have not massively liked the last three days in work. I should not feel reluctant to get out my camera.

Today I:

- genuinely smiled

- missed several people, rather a lot

- made damn good bread (even if I do say so myself..)

- practised 'cello

- bought a few birthday / Christmas presents (oh yeah)

- found out I could still remember how to crochet

- didn't end up going into town

- discovered that Davina is not kind if you don't keep up

- ensured I could write all hirigana correctly

- really want to watch a prom. Or that Great British Bake-off thing that everyone's gone on about

- want to share a photo with you. It's down there

- made an effort

- got really cold. Curse you, Cambridge

- gave a hint

I love beams.

Finally!

So!

I've graduated.

I've moved in.

I've mostly unpacked.

I finally made the photomergey panorama thing. My adorable laptop (literally no sarcase, I love it to bits) took nearly 2 hours to make it, wasn't quite able to sort out the perspective, but hey.

Here is my wonderful kitchen. I'm about to go there and make cake : )

...

OK, it didn't work. I shall upload it tomorrow. And probably make cake tomorrow. I'm rather tired all of a sudden.. Nighty night!

Oh T9, you are brilliant

Let's smuggle up and recap my week, since my diary epically failed this term..

Ok, so I've had three years at Cambridge university. I've never quite got it straight in my head that I'm at Cambridge. I still occasionally think *woah, Cambridge*, even now.

I'll never get it fixed in my head that I got a 2.i! I've stuck a printout of CamSis on the inside of my door to try and convince myself. It still feels a bit like Friday didn't happen.

Work is brilliant; I really enjoy it, and I work with lovely lovely people. I appear to be good at what I'm doing, which is a great feeling, and I'm able to get on with all the other staff.

I have just bought several panja. After seeing (and trying!) Caroline's on Friday evening, I remembered how I'd always wanted one. Took a little time to find out their name, but now quite a few are on their way : )

I didn't set an alarm today, and it was fantastic. I have so far, done nothing apart from eat hobnobs, grab my lovely warm dressing gown, and jump on here.

Clare May Ball was so much fun! The dress turned out pretty well (I think; it was only the first time I'd made something), and I managed to fix my useless zip problem, by making a GIANT pocket, which turned out to be damn useful.

I have opened up to a few key people. More of this needs to happen, but I'm getting there.

Yesterday, I took part in a piano trio (piano, violin, and 3 'celli), a cello/piano duet (2 'celli, and 2 people on one piano [one hand each, crossed over]), and a string quintet (Schubert's in C, which I *adore*; viola covered by bassoon). Wonderful stuff.

Today, I am going to get dressed and do these stupid dishes! I finally have time!!! Excitement.

And make a skirt methinks. I'm going to wander to John Lewis and get some thread/cord/ribbon for a dress I'm making for my sister, and maybe wander to the Senate House and check it's not all a dream :D

Stay safe and round!

IT WAS ALL WORTH IT

Yes. Yes it was.

Work. Boy. Result. Music.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Happy. Happy happy. Happiest she's been in a long time.
