So Matt told me I that I should put something on my blog so that he had something to read. But I don't have anything interesting otherwise I might have actually kept posting way back when I actually used to use this blog. So here is something for Matt to read, but I didn't promise it would be interesting.

Have fun Matt. Also being the internet geek you are no doubt you've already found this anyway. But that's what you get for telling me to post something on my blog.

Let it rain :)
This morning when I got up for work at 5am. Then I looked out the window to find it was raining heavily and I had to bike to work. So it didn't seem like a good start to the day.
But by the time I got a third of the way to work I realised that I was actually enjoying biking in the rain. Ok so it was cold, and by the time I got to work I looked and felt a bit like a drowned rat as I dripped my way to reception to get the keys to unlock.
But generally being in the rain for a short period of time, so long as I have somewhere warm and dry to go afterwards, and have dry clothes to change into when I get there is quite invigorating and enjoyable. I like the feeling of drips on my face.
I used to love playing in the rain when I was little until my mum stopped me. And it makes me wonder how many of the things that society teaches us are bad can actually be good if we let them.
So i'm going to try and rediscover some of these things. I don't have any specific ideas in mind, just things that give us those precious moments that so often get lost in the busyness and repetitiveness of day to day life. Feel free to join me if you want :)

Things I am looking forward to in the holidays :)
1) Sleeping in
2) Having a social life
3) Going away and seeing lots of people that I don't get to see very often
4) Reading something not related to my course
5) Not working on essays and other assignments every single day
6) Thinking through things that I have not had time to think about this term because I've been too busy
7) Relaxing
8) Actually having weekends
The joy of having five weeks off from uni :)
Some weeks doing a full-time masters course and working fifteen-ish hours a week seems like too much. This term has been full of weeks like that.
1 1/2 weeks to go!

Morning Ray is here
Ray wakes up to her alarm clock going off swots her arms around her head to get the noice out of her head and fully wakes up when she accidentally hits the wall because Morning Ray's motor control does not function. Ray groans, opens her eyes, and switches off her alarm.
Ray stumbles out off bed and heads for the bathroom almost walking into her flatmate on the way. She mumbles what is supposed to be 'morning' but probably sounds more like a grunt.
Ray drags herself into the shower - burning herself when she turns the water on too hot - then proceeds to wash. Enough details about that.
Ray drags herself out of the bathroom and back to her room where she spends long periods of time "getting dressed" which involves staring at clothes for a long period of time trying to decide what to wear, and then putting in the effort to actually actually pick it up and put it on. Ray also generally puts on at least one item of clothing backwards or inside out and has to change it which makes the dressing process even longer.
Ray goes to get some breakfast. Then sits on the couch staring vacantly at the wall occassionally taking another mouthful. If she has a hot drink it will still be 3/4 full by the time it gets cold. Ray will force herself to drink another 1/4 of the cup not wanting to waste it and then finish breakfast about 3/4 hr after starting it. Flatmates look at Ray during this time and either laugh or decide that it's not worth talking to her. Apart from the occassions where they try to get Ray to say stupid things. The challenge is drawing out intelligible sentences. Of course the whole breakfast stage often gets missed because Ray is almost always running late for class or whatever else she has to do that morning.
Ray eventually snaps out of being morning Ray about 1-1 1/2 hours after waking up. No-one know what triggers the change.
I'm not a morning person... can anyone tell? Also I am supposed to be writing essays...
