Try to have your cake and eat it too

Being busy is so much better than being bored.

Last week was one of the busiest I've had for a while. I had Monday off, which was lovely ♥. But after that it was pretty much non-stop business. I had loads of work to do, and I didn't even do it all. I need to prioritise better and organise myself. This week I plan to stop staying up ridiculously late every night, because it is actually killing me, and I am horrified by the awful bags under my eyes! I also need to tidy my desk, because it's a disgusting mess, egh and I spilt milk on my laptop today... I don't think it did any damage though, luckily.

Anyway, the weekend was amaaaazing! So much fun. I barely had time to breathe on Friday, spending the day finishing my work and preparing things for my friend's birthday, and then dashing off to Preston to celebrate. We had a great time though. And we had Domino's, which I haven't had in forEVER! It was sooo goooood! So I got a sleep in on Saturday morning, after getting home pretty late, which was heavenly. Later on my little brother videocalled me (my parents have finally got the Internet!) and that was really nice.

It didn't seem too long from the time I got up to when I was off to Morecambe to get ready for a night on the tiles. I did my hair really big, and because of all the stuff that's been going on I got my nails painted all different colours. Ooh, and I wore a new shirt I got from H+M, and skinny jeans. We went out to the club we wanted to go, and found the dance floor closed off. Sad times, so we went elsewhere til midnight, when we hoped the dancefloor would be open, and it was ♥. Was so much fun, haven't had a good dance for ages.

Anywayyys, regarding my new year's resolutions:
-I haven't been doing so well on the bedtime one, but I'm gonna try a lot harder with it this week.
-With the working out I've been falling behind, but I'm getting back on track, I'm going to organise my time better, and make sure I definitely do it three times this week.
-I've met a few of new people this year so far, I can still do better though at being more social.
-Music wise, I'm currently arranging a hymn for somebody and I'm going to get paid for it, so I'll definitely be working on that this week. Ideas have been running through my head for a performance arrangement of it as well as a straightforward hymn arrangement.
-I did see a job vacancy the other day, but I looked again today, and it wasn't there any more, so it looks like I'm going to have to dedicate more time to music, because I really need the money (the "financial problem" from last year is still haunting me, unfortunately, yes).

I've been eating so much junk recently, my diet is ridiculously poor, there are way too many 33p packets of pasta & sauce in it! This week Ima make sure I get some real food when I go shopping!

Ooooh, another thing I've been doing recently is reading poetry. I've never really been a big poetry fan in the past, I think school put me off it, because it was a duty rather than a pleasure. But I've been reading some Salvador Espriu, because I'm thinking of taking part in a literature festival my department at uni is holding, and I love it! I need to choose one to read...

Well that was a bit random... but that's your Josh update for now ^_^
