And being this calm scares the shit out of me. I foresee a lot of crying in about two days. LOL.
I think this whole getting news about getting all the stuff I wanted/award etc has made me somewhat… complacent. Terrible.
I woke up at 7, took a shower, and went to the library. Found a spot, sat down for five minutes, then walked back home to have breakfast (and wait for delivery) - then went back to the library. Why? Because I needed to save me a space in the silent study area. Sometimes, I amaze me. Half price Starbucks fraps for 12 days YAY! Lovely weather to the point of queuing up outside Starbucks in the sun felt nice. Hah. Sitting in the sun with a frap - BEST feeling. Now, to pack my life into boxes (oh and exams). And yay Soapz’ coming on the trip after moving her work shifts! More excited about holidays than my exams. #dangerous
Decided that I should change my dp today, and switched it to the “Platform 9 3/4” picture (ala Harry Potter). Now that’s three HP references in the past week.
To think I’m not even a fan… Mind-ception.
The British weather never fails to amuse me. SO DAMN HOT, *(&^%$!
Oh yeah. Hooked on Pinterest against my will.
Out of all the libraries, I enjoy IC and WB the most.
IC’s lovely because you can eat and drink (oh and there are many toilets on every one of the six levels), but it can get a little rowdy/noisy. But if it’s open 24 hours (EVEN THE CAFE!), what’s not to love?
WB has a no food no drink policy (I really want to meet the person who decided on this). Something about consciously knowing that I’m breaking the rules (NOW), as opposed to plain ignorance (prior to finding out; plausible deniability haha) has stopped me from sneaking coffee in using (also stolen - I kid) coffee trays. HAHA. Man I was so much fun couple of semesters ago. Oh and WB is peaceful; it’s silent. Think about 500-700 people in an open space, think long rows of tables (like HP dining rooms - no idea why i’m making incessant HP referrals nowadays), and think silence (ala the peaceful page turning sound, if that’s even considered noise). AHHH
I love that I live five minutes away from WB (and eight from the IC when I run them red lights). Why did I start this post? Oh right. Competition. WB opens at 0830 and hoards of people queue up outside from a little past eight. REALLY? IS THAT NECESSARY? Yes it is. I nicely went there at 0850 - there were no plug points left (where there was beautiful scenery -.-).
This may sound rant-y or unfounded. But really, even when the weather is dreary outside, there’s something about being on the other side of the glass, looking out into the park, the scenic view, and feeling that peace. Even when it’s not sunny, or when it’s freezing outside, from this side of the glass? Safety.
Digressed again. So today I was stuck in the architecture section, which had no view, but absolute still air, and (self-declared) foot stools. MAN I feel like a rebel. Oh about coffee? I still sneak it in. Using my trusty old Starbucks bottle, which is broken and I really should get rid of, but it was a going away present from them two sweet boys. I may bring it home and keep pencils in them.
This may be my longest post yet. WHAT HAVE I DONE
Old habits die hard. Even the current financial turmoil can’t stop my Sunday routine. Venti coffee, whipped cream, extra shot, skinny love blaring from the speakers, people watching, book in hand, and the only time I have in my packed schedule to be truly alone in a sea of people. I love how even the couple yelling at each other just blends into the background noise. Negligible. I’m going to miss this! I’m going to really miss my Sunday alone time, walking/running to church, and enjoying a coffee and a good read. Arhhh. I will be done with school in less than a month! :(
I didn’t think that my Warwick application would have been accepted? Now who smells trouble and indecisiveness?
On a lighter note, I feel like parts of my school is very Harry Potter-esque. And I will definitely miss school. (Not so much for the HP-esque-ness)
