Yeah, somehow I can't concentrate on revision today, not sure why. Next exam is Italian listening on Thursday afternoon, followed by French language on Friday morning, then Italian language on Saturday afternoon. I'm thinking I do Italian revision today, French tomorrow, Italian Thursday. Good plan, no? My week sorted.
I have of course been doing some Italian revision today - got up at 7:30 this morning to be motivated and good. Went to Caffe Nero and was motivated and good for a couple of hours, but now I'm back at home I really can't be bothered. Just accidentally chopped a hole in my arm when I dropped a pair of scissors and I'm hoping nobody notices because I don't want JH to start panicking I've been cutting again, when for once I actually haven't!!
In other news, after the depressing news that V weighs less than 9 stone and JH has the body fat of some kind of... um... skinny person (can't think of a comparison), I have decided to lose weight. Plus I want to be slimmer for Greenfield. I seem to have gotten fatter lately, even though I've been hula hooping away and going for long walks (the most exercise you'll catch me doing I'm afraid). So I'm restricting myself to less than 1500 calories a day... god knows how long that'll last. I give myself two days before I give into the Dairy Milks calling me from Tesco. Willpower, willpower, willpower...
Aargh, I should be revising. The future tense of the Italian language is calling me.
Hmmm. Maybe I'll go for a walk. Exercise. Listening to my iPod. Should be a good thing. After all, I'm far too unfit to go for a run. I power walked for a couple of kilometres yesterday and when I came back home I managed to concentrate on Italian vocabulary for a good couple of hours. I have NO IDEA how JH can revise for eight hours solid. I'd die! I really do have the attention span on a gnat... unless I'm writing stuff that interests me, like my books.
OOH, yesterday I sent off Bars of a Chateau! Its very first trip to a literary agent. Of course, it will get rejected - I have to pay my dues before I get accepted. Keeping my fingers crossed anyway! NB when one of my books eventually gets accepted by an agent, you will hear me screaming from wherever you are. I've already planned how I'm spending my first advance when I finally get published - first purchase, Christian Louboutin shoes. Yeah, by that point I WILL be 87, but I'm getting them anyway, even if I have to show them off complete with the wonderful accessory of a zimmer frame.
OOH, I have a reason to go for a walk! I need to post my form to be added to the electoral roll. I can go to the post office and then keep on walking from there, like a very sporty person. Maybe I'll even walk to the library and get some books out. Yes, me. The girl who in two years of university can count the number of trips to the library she's made on two hands. I'm academic, me.

EDIT: just reached new levels of procrastination. I'm slowly but surely working out the rhythm needed to hula hoop while juggling. I'm an actual clown.
