Life is BUSY.

The past week has been horrid. My Sound project was handed in on Thursday, and my Research Portfolio was handed in on Friday. I had several production meetings for the 4th year plays on both of those days, as well as on Monday and yesterday. I've got meetings today, tomorrow and Friday. And I just don't have enough TIME.

On the plus side, my new laptop will be delivered back home tomorrow, meaning that I can go home on Friday evening and transfer all my files from the PC at home onto the laptop. Yay!

Today, Boy and I will be having pancakes. Technically, Pancake Day was yesterday, but I was so busy and so wiped by the end of the day we agreed to have them for dinner today. Yum.

Apparently I talked in my sleep last night. Boy was woken up by me saying "It's a fork" and then, after a brief pause, "I'll sort it out later". We then spent half an hour this morning trying to work out what I might have been dreaming about at the time. The most popular theory was that I dreamed I was on Ready Steady Cook ... which would definitely have made sense ...

I need to tidy my bedroom up. I've got an hour before my next meeting, so I'll spend an hour on my bedroom now and another hour on it later. Should be anough to be able to see the floor again.

I'm taking a leaf out of my friend Katie's book. Until Friday, this will be my new homepage.

EXCUSE ME, MISSY.

You'd better be coming online for something constructive. You have a LOT of work to do and procrastinating isn't going to help anyone. So unless you are doing any of the following:

- Checking your kentmail for important e-mails
- Double-checking referencing styles
- Making sure you don't have any overdue books at the library

GET OFF THE INTERNET AND BACK ONTO MICROSOFT WORD, YOUNG LADY!!!

Let me remind you exactly what you have to have done by the end of this week ...

- 1300 words of Research Summary
- 700 words of Criticising A Dramatic Essay
- 500 words of Self Evaluation
- ONE PAGE of 'What I Did On My Trip To Orbital Sound'
- TWO PAGES of Examining Sound In 'Cirque Du Soleil'
- Research on 'The Intruder'
- Justification of Sound Cues
- Evaluation of Group Work
- And LOTS AND LOTS OF PRODUCTION MEETINGS

Get your arse in gear.

I love Wednesdays. It's the only day of the week that I have entirely free, and the first day of the week that Boy has nothing to do. Consequently, we usually spend it together, and today was no exception. We had a good lie-in this morning (and a good schnuggle), followed by lunch at Dolche Vita (lunchtime restaurant in Keynes - don't have the prawns) and then a mosey into town for some shopping. I bought food (including Pop Tarts and Nesquik ... mmm ...) and some shiny clothes from H&M; Boy bought food and Seinfeld series 4 on DVD. He's a happy bunny.

Next week is The Big Week. I have so much stuff planned for next week it's unreal. Monday is going to be a day for Doing Work (and by Work, I mean my Research Summary of 1300 words which I haven't started yet and must be in next Friday). Tuesday is also a day for Doing Work, but the evening will be spent watching the new series of Life On Mars (hell YEAH!) over at Boy's house. I suspect there will be either pizza or chips and dip for consumption. Wednesday is St Valentine's Day (WOE) in which the day will be spent Doing Work and the evening will be spent watching Rich Hall at the Gulbenkian and laughing heartily. Thursday is the day the Sound Project is due in (despite the fact that no-one actually knows what we're supposed to do for it ... oh well, we'll figure it out tomorrow) and in the evening I shall be going to see a production of Oleanna at the Gulb. Friday is the day the Research Portfolio is due in (eep) and also mine and Boy's four-month-anniversary.

Again, surprisingly little to report besides that. Apart from the fact that Boy is awesome and fantastic and amazingly amazing ... but that goes without saying.
