Life

Midsemester break happened. It was very much needed.
This month I have: done assignments, read, blogged, watched TV and movies, and baked.
It's been a great blogging month - I posted lots, and I also read many fantastic posts from other bloggers.
In exciting news, I've read more books so far this year than I read in the whole of last year!

Since I've Been Gone: January & February Wrap Up

4:46 pm monthly wrap up

I'm back from hiatus! But with uni starting again this week, I don't expect I'll be blogging very frequently as I have lots of other things to do. In the meantime, what happened while I was gone?

Life

I've been learning to drive! So far so good with the automatic, need lots of practice with the manual. And then we'll have to see about parking...
I had a summer job and saved a bit of money, yay! Now I'm back home I have to keep looking for part-time jobs, though...
My holiday was generally pretty great, and I felt completely on top of things, like I'd got my shit together after two years of not being very motivated, and it felt good.
