a busy break.

Somehow it's already got round to Sunday, and it's also half term. Being in the last year of sixth form (again), this means that coursework deadlines are looming, as well as the build up to exam preparation.
Half term never seems to be a break for me, I'm usually behind on work of all kinds and I see it more as a time to attempt to catch up. However, my body seems to see it as a time to be ill and not get half as much done as I'd hoped...
This time, I've attempted to create a to-do list for the whole of the half term, including a daily break down of what I want to get done, plans have already been changed a little since this morning, so I'm not sure this whole idea is going to work out very well to be honest, but I'm going to take it all in my stride...

I must admit, even though I'm feeling really crap right now, I've got a few things to look forward to, like spending time with a friend I don't see as much as I used to, spending time with family, going to the zoo, hopefully a trip down to the coast etc. but I have a lot of poetry to write, 3000 words of creative writing to write, a media essay to finish, a linked production piece to plan out, an inbox to sort through, emails to reply to, questions for interviews to put together, emails to be sent, drafts to be put together for both blogs, a bedroom to finish sorting out and a couple of other bits here and there.

I'm also quite happy with how my 'Best of 2015' jar is slowly filling up, I'm doing my classic of including the small things that make me happy every few days as well as the bigger things to remember, so that's helping the process. I'm also managing to read every now and then, I've been trying to set aside half an hour to an hour each day to catch up on blogs, read parts of my magazines (it's been a mix of NME, Kerrang, RockSound and Nat Geo), a bit of poetry here and there, and I'm currently reading 'After Auschwitz', which will be another one to tick off of my reading list.

I think my highlight of the past week has to be seeing Rae Morris and Fryars live, if I haven't already raved about it enough on social media and my other blog, I'm sharing the love here too!
