In the depths...

Well, since Daisy Chain Dreams did an open tag on a 'what's in your bag' post, I couldn't resist... (Also, essay procrastination. Yay! ;-D)

I was going to do close ups, but my camera's crappy...

So, what IS in that pile of stuff?

Clockwise: 

We have my 4 rotated bags - leather paillette bag (arkclothing),  Red is the new black tote for days in the department library (nicked from a friend lol), tooled brown leather bag - vintage, Antiquity journal bag (nicked from the Arch and Anth museum staff stash of the things) - whenever I'm not in the dept... Oops! I do seem to appropriate totes... 

Ok, then there's glasses (for powerpoints in lectures), apple juice (I'm fasting. Blah), Gant leather purse (quite small but does the job on a day to day basis), monkey purse - present from mother, hair clip (my hair's far too long at the mo...), dinner menu from hall with my best friend and her parents and godparents on Friday, notebook (essential and irreplaceable... I live in fear of losing this one, especially as it's still filled with conference notes from December. Ah! Paranoia!), black leather gloves - present years ago, diary plus car and room key, Smythson address book (pleasingly un-beat-up), green LX tape (the most useful stuff EVER!), book about memory and dark heritage in africa, lined paper, last months dog-eared Super Super magazine, A4 paper supervision work file, Whistles gloves (I love love love these... the leopard's eyes are crystals... yummy!).

Plus make up and pens in the middle.

Quite a mess really, but it works for me! Oh, and my phone (in pocket) and camera (in use) are missing.  

Funsies! Now I have to run to Peterhouse (15 minutes away) and back in time to get to the car park (5 minutes if I run, in opposit direction) for 4.50... Hmmmmm. Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!!! ;-D

P.s. I tag Claire, Grace and Gennie for this btw ;-D

HAUL!

Well, it's been a few weeks since my last post - mainly as I've been ridiculously busy with the new term. 3rd year is scary!

Anyway, as recession blows its cold wind across the nation, my buying habits have been reduced to pretty much nil - especially I bought quite a few of the 'essentials' i was previously missing toward the end of the hols. My wardrobe is currently filled with fun bits and pieces - a mixture of favourites both new and old, and a medley of clothes that had been languishing in the back of my wardrobe back home. I'm not really having many sartorial crises, as my core wardrobe is pretty sorted, and my only problem is how freaking far the laundry is from my current digs!

However, I haven't had anything new to play around with for quite a number of weeks.

Yet today, the clothing gods smiled upon me, in the form of a few freebies given out by my friend who runs a creative space here in Cam. They had a make-do and mend event today (that I was unable to attend due to being at work... sob!) which left a number of clothes unwanted and unloved in the studio this evening! So, in return for some romantic advice ( - my proper use around here lol - ) I was allowed to rootle through the leftovers and found some plain totes, a fat square of fabric, three dresses (two of which require altering to sort bagginess in wierd places - can't help it that I'm HUGELY hourglass / slightly less weight on my hips after a month of weight gain due to stress-out yukkiness and torn cartilage-forced lack of exercise), a suede jacket, a red wool coat with black collar and a black knit halterneck with sparkly tie at the front... ALL FOR FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Yay! Right. Tomorrow, I work. Honest!

Pouty and Not Revising

Now, I know I complain when I have one exam after the other, but to tell the truth, I wish I hadn't had a 2 day gap between the nightmarish exams and my last one... The last one is actually my most important one, and up until last weekend was the only one I was really revising, but having gotten absolutely exhausted by the three at the beginning of the week, I gave up yesterday, post Roman Cities exam. Not a good plan. I overslept today, and then procrastinated. It's now 9.10pm and I have my exam at 1.30 tomorrow... I can't remember anything, and just can't seem to get down to work! Gah!

Oh well... So I wanted to do my MA in the same field as this paper... who needs MA's? I get a fake one from Cam anyway!

Wish me luck anyhoo! Maybe I'll recapture the exam spirit in a minute... Or maybe I'll go to the gym... Hmmmmmmmm...

Ok, so here's what I'm wearing today... (Tee from realitee at topshop - it has a cute crossed and knotted back, indian elephants necker from charity shop, vintage Jaeger brown tweed blazer with velvet collar from my Mother's closet - it's older than me!!! hehe, Sass and Bide high waisted jeans, Jaeger shoes that were on sale last term, gorgeous crystal dangly earrings - they have a really unusual shape - bought from Nomads in Cambridge)

Pouty much? ;-D

Oh Joy! Exams!

So, I'm back in Cambridge for the hell that is Easter term...

Exams are a little way off - they start on the 2nd of June - but I really need to keep on top of work and starting to revise... I've been on a field trip and ill for the last few weeks, so very very behind. Kinda like with this blog!

Well, never mind... Had a non-date date drink with unattainable boy (still in love with ex, leaving for new life in Australia in 3 months) this evening, and really edgy... Would go and kill myself in the gym, but I have a recovering sprained knee and sprained elbow, and having done a little (nurse advised) exercise yesterday, the knee might complain if I forced it this evening... It's not achey or sore, but slightly uncomfy... Oh how I want to be on a bike right now!!! Grumble.

Ah well, I have to be up (far too) early in the morning, so maybe an early night is a better plan?
