i bought a curling iron

and it arrived today in the post!

and it's so fun to play with (well i had to test it out so that feedback could be left on ebay) and i so forsee it as something to do when i am bored of studying and need a break.

i tell you, this summer thing is messing with my mind! how do i study when the sun only sets at 9pm? i need winter to come again! i work so much better when it is nice and cold and you just want to snuggle in a humongous sweater and do work (because it's dark and you wasted the day away). and now all i want to do is go for long drives, sit in the sun, go for a picnic... AAAAAHHHH! and what do i have to do these days? i have to sit indoors and watch films for revision! being indoors on a warm/hot afternoon when you can be outdoors and getting a tan?

on the other hand, Charlotte Brunsdon seems to think i am on the right track with my exam preparations... i'm keeping my fingers crossed that my work speed and concentration levels will improve...
