Things are good. Really good. Choices that I’ve made recently are working out well. My house is now MY house! I am no longer sharing it with anyone except M and that is just the way I like it! I’ve bought some fantastic new furniture and I’m loving being in my warm, modern environment. It’s going to sting a little more on rent day but… for now it is worth it.
I am enjoying my studies. I completed my first assignment today, five days ahead of schedule! It comprised of two 1,000 word essays and a 500 word summary essay which we are required to post online, followed by commenting on two other students summaries. So far I am the only person who has done this! The reason why it is working so much better this time round is not just because I have an extra hour in the day to study, but because the topics are now so relevant. I even turned down two social engagements to study over the weekend – dedication!
In less than two weeks the office will close for 2.5 weeks holiday! Speaking of the office, my colleague and I had a huge argument last week. We both shouted at each other and then she refused to talk to me. As we sit right next to each other and were the only ones there, it was awkward to say the least. However she came back after lunch ready to talk and we sat down and both gave our sides calmly and rationally, and agreed on what we thought would resolve the issue. I felt like such a grown up and I tell you what, if everyone could resolve issues this way, workplaces would be much happier!!!
The Pioneer Woman has a tutorial on photoshop a la instagram which I downloaded to my photoshop (I am such a newbie at these things but I managed to do it, woo!) and I have been playing around with it tonight:
The original (which has actually already been photoshopped – my standard contrast) – M at her end of year drama production.
And photoshopped in vintage! Can’t wait to create beautiful pics in the future now I have this. Thanks, TPW!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Pilates I LOVED! Though I have a feeling it was a pretty low-key class and not always that relaxing! Yoga was ok… I found it quite hard though I’m sure with less body weight it wouldn’t be as hard. The relaxation at the end was spoiled by the flourescent light and noise of the squash room nextdoor.
