FEBRUARY

(I meant to post this yesterday but in typical fashion- I forgot.)

I've decided that this month is going to be GOOD. I'm going to make this month mine.
This doesn't mean getting up at 8 everyday, eating a green smoothie and going for a run- i'm not an #eatclean kinda gal. It doesn't even mean getting on campus on time every day and slaving away for hours in the study rooms. What this means is that I'm not going to let this month pass by without really taking it in, i'm going to relish and savour it.
I'm (quite depressingly) viewing February as my last 'fun' month in Exeter for as long as I can imagine. March will start and end well but before we get to the glorious end of term I'm going to have year abroad meetings and planning, committee AGMs, two essays, formative assessments and French exams- the joy of a dual honours degree! I don't want to overwhelm myself in March so I want to focus on powering through the aforementioned work. In April I'll be home and hopefully travelling a bit, but I'll be out of Exeter. Then it's straight back into revision, exams that actually count towards my degree, a few fleeting moments of freedom before it's summer and I'm (hopefully!) off to America. After that I'll be heading on my year abroad, which is simultaneously terrifying and thrilling, partly because as of right now I have no idea where I'm going to be studying and I haven't even started to look for jobs yet. so February, you're going to be a good one.

I'm going to do as much of my work as a can (realistically that 900 page Dickens novel might have to stay on the shelf), and I'm going to enjoy working on a degree that I genuinely enjoy. I'm going to see my friends as much as possible; lunches with course friends I never see outside of grammar classes, actually going to the parties I'm invited to rather than turning them down for another evening lying in bed on tumblr.

I want to get out of Exeter more, the beach is literally half an hour away and I STILL haven't been this year. Bristol and Bath aren't much further along with all the other towns round her. I love Exeter but the south west isn't going to be on my doorstep forever!

I'm going to document this month and I'm refusing to let it just pass by. The month got off to a lovely start with a lecture I genuinely enjoyed, an alright shift in work, dinner with my lovely lovely french friends and then a night out full of glitter and funk.
