Christmas >> I can't not mention the most wonderful time of the year! I love Christmas, so this month is basically just me being excited about the holiday. My final deadline was due on Monday (hence why this post is a little late), and now I have over a month to myself, where I'm so looking forward to heading home and having some much-needed chill time.
Dissertation prep >> Well, I say chill time, but in reality I will still be doing a little uni work. I have my dissertation coming up after the holidays, so I'll be doing a bunch of reading prep for that! The good thing is, it's an excuse to read lots of Noir/hard-boiled fiction and watch Film Noir for "research".
Family time >> I think this past year has taught me just how nice it is to be at home. I love living in another city as I have a real sense of independence, but with so many rubbish things that happened in my 2017, I spent more time visiting my family that I have in previous uni years. It will be so nice getting to spend nearly a month around lots of unconditional love - especially as my cousin just bought her first flat so I have somewhere new to visit!
Presents >> With Christmas around the corner, I'm obviously very excited to be hunting out gifts for my family and friends. I normally have most of my presents sorted by now so it's actually a little stressful that I currently have only bought a few - the organisational part of me is panicking. But, I'm looking forward to planning out the gifts as soon as my essay is out of the way. I've been told I'm a very good gift-giver!
