Mal du Siecle
Here I am, studying for another exam and procrastination has taken over. I've still got a bunch of Guy de Maupassant and Zola to finish and all my notes to review. I'll be ok. However I must say that my procrastination has led me to be really efficient and organized. I'm itching to move my bed over and I'll probably get on that tomorrow afternoon and get the amazing prints Paul bought me framed so I can hang them up. I've also decided to continue my perfume bottle collection. But now! I've started Glee and so far I love it, no wonder everyone loves it. After this episode, I PROMISE I'll go back to studying! xx

Fingers Toes
Literature lecture today was inspiring, we were reading Ariel by Sylvia Plath, talking about how Freud claims art is the symptom of the artist's disease. I don't know if I could live in a world without art. Baudelaire says you can live 3 days without food but not a single day without art. Paul went back to Uni on Tuesday, we share so much music and art together, I guess that's wh
y todays lecture struck a chord. He bought me a copy of Klimt's kiss :) I can't wait to put it up in my room, as well as a old map, so I can map out any travels! I've got South Africa on my mind... I'll see him soon after Christmas, but I feel so brave and hopeful. To the stars!
Ps: My brother proposed to his girlfriend!

Dedifferentiation
Working on this God-ot awful essay on Waiting for Godot and 'waiting for...' the angels to fall from the sky and give me a push in the (w)rite direction. blah blah blah. I can do this...Found an apartment! 3 bedrooms and I get a walk-in closet and my own bathroom, sounds pretty spoiled, but believe me, I'm not. It's a 'penthouse' but they're only saying that to make whoever lives on the top floor feel better, honestly. I won't be moving till December, but once I'm in there, I want to dedicate myself to making the space 'mine' as quickly as I can once I'm done exams. Then I'll see if I can properly study for my bartending exam. Going to try and au pair in Paris in the spring (am I dreaming too big?) and go see my uncle Sebastian in Sicily in the summer. I love him so much and I just can't accept the fact that someday he won't be around anymore...
Fun time is over kids, let's get back to work...
