| | I realize it's been quite a while since I've blogged. Life has been non-stop for quite sometime. Honestly, I'm not seeing it slow down anytime soon so please don't expect too much. With that said....
Uni has been going well. The course content isn't impossible, it's just the volume that can overwhelm at times. This is the last week of term, which actually doesn't mean much in terms of down time. Next week I will be off to Oxford for three weeks of lambing. What is that you ask? We'll it involves me getting up quite early, being rather cold and on occasion inserting my arm into the reproductive canal of a ewe. Sound like fun to you? Compared to sitting in 7 hours of lectures a day and coming home to study for 4-5 more hours, it's sounds like a blast to me! All I ask is that the snow pleeeeeeasse go away. We've been having flurries all day and I'm not liking.
As you all know I have issues with cold weather. It's great for snowboarding and day trips because at anytime you can go inside to take a warm bath or sit by a fire. When you have to stand out in it listening to the gut sounds of horses and cattle, not so fun. Actually, it's quite draining.
So aside from being way to cold and mild seasonal depression due to lack of sunlight - I'm great! Once lambing is over I'll be catapulted into the throws of final exams. Four weeks worth! It's brutal. There are three sets of exams (oral, practical and written) and only one set is worth less than 80% of my final grade. No pressure. Right? Fortunately by May 31st it will all be over and the chips will fall where they may.
The super cheerful part of my life (beyond knowing that I get to rectal a cow on Thursday) is that my boyfriend Tim and I found a flat together this weekend. It was quite serendipitous as most great things in my life are. We had been having many deep conversations about what we were looking for in a home together, yet when we'd go look at something we couldn't quite find it. I was feeling the pressure of securing something before exams to get it off my mind and was willing to compromise on something, like having a garden or having to fix something up a bit, but we weren't finding anything that really inspired us. Until this weekend that is. My landlady, know I was moving out, suggested another flat she owned nearby. The current tenant, a vet student (shocking) is in her final year and leaving in August. The price was right and if we looked at it and like it, it was ours. Too good to be true right? Lucky for me, my life has been so so good over the past few years - when we walked in we both lit up. It was exactly what we'd been talking about, looking for, wanting to create. Completely furnished with great art deco wood, a garden in back, huge south facing windows, one bedroom with a study/guestroom and a modern kitchen. There are so many other little details that make it perfect which I can't describe so I guess you'll just have to come and see it.
Needless to say, I'm very excited. There is also a touch of trepidation there too. It's been a long time since I've lived with a significant other, but I adore Tim and am looking forward to taking things to the next level. He's another one of those too good to be true parts of my life that I appreciate immensely. With that said I believe dinner is ready and I'm starving.
Be well until I find a spare moment and breath to write again.
