I’ve had that song on repeat for about four days now. Certainly the inevitable sunburn that occurs when the nicer weather meets my white and nerdy self is never pleasurable, but every other aspect of the sunshine is much appreciated! I’m definitely in a much chirpier mood than I have been of late.
I have been a bit down, to be honest. Lots of nasty appointments to keep, essays to write and general things to do have got me in a bit of state. I am still a bit ratty and irritable to be honest, but the lovely Gina has offered to let me stay with her for a bit, and I’ve already spent a nice couple of days up in London with her insignifcant other and his housemates. So hopefully I’ll be ok.
Closer to (uni)home, I had a lovely, lovely day today which made me smile a lot. The village where I live up at uni is very pretty (if you ignore the council estate…) and so I decided to do my revision whilst sprawled out in the sunshine on the village green. As I was trying to get my head around Marlowe I saw quite a few people, despite the fact it was a fairly early time of around 9ish. Mostly the people I saw were elderly ladies walking their dogs. Every single one of them who walked past me spoke to me – about what I was doing, the weather, a simple good morning – and wished me good luck with my exams. How lovely! It sounds silly, but just having someone pay that little bit of interest in how you’re doing when you’ve been feeling so down for so long is just incredibly uplifting.
My happiness may also be slightly attributed to this: omnomnombargain
But I do have sunburn. Ouch.
