My Will Power Exists

I think, first of all, that it’s safe to say that celebrations are indeed in order for I have achieved the seemingly impossible task of waking up at 6 AM and going to the gym at 7. I never in a million years thought I’d actually manage it considering the current state of my sleeping patterns, but I did! Now I must grasp that sense of achievement and keep it up. All being well, I’ll lose the tummy and be buff by next year! (Ok, so that’s a little optimistic…)

As of late, there’s been an awful lot on my mind. Many stresses, many worries. You get the general idea. I’m looking out the window at the dull grey sky and heavy showers and that pretty much represents my average mood right now. I say average since my mood tends to jump up and down more than a very hyperactive rabbit on a pogo stick. First and foremost is the stress my friends in general seem to be going through. Now it’s worth saying here that I generally don’t get stressed over work even if things look bleak. I tend to sit back and watch as things fall into catastrophe and rescue things at the final moment (my mum and step-dad will know this better than anyone), but for my sensible friends, they tend to worry a lot more. This, naturally, leads to stressed out friends and I think I just feel sensitive to that at the moment and feel upset to see them stressed.

In particular, my friend Lewis has actually expressed thoughts of quitting university. If ANY of my friends quit university, I would require anti-depressants for the rest of the year. I don’t think I’d stop crying for a week. Our group fits together so well and it would be a shame to ruin all that.

Anyway, enough of the depressing stuff! I’ve now resorted to hiding my toilet roll and only taking it with me to the loo when I need to use it. Why, you ask? Well I can’t be sure, but I think that someone in our flat is eating it. We seem to somehow be getting through an entire roll a day which is ridiculous. Either someone enjoys toilet roll as a tasty snack, or someone has a severe number two related problems and has had them since arriving here.

I shall leave you all on that lighter note.
