Study Break Daybook


Four down, one to go!

Mock exams are underway: what joy! In spite of having twelve hours of writing in two days, my hand has begun to recover from the trauma of Thursday and Friday's exams (whoever wrote the timetable is a cruel, cruel person. All my essay-based subjects were scrunched together, rendering my poor hand deformed and stained by the end of the day) But, praise the Lord, all have seemingly gone well so far- praying for good results.

Just Calculus left on Monday morning- I really should be studying for it, but I'm taking a break. Why distract yourself by writing a blog post, I hear you ask? Well, I am a pathetic creature, and it's either this or googling Downton Abbey for the forty-eighth time (TWENTY FOUR HOURS TILL SEASON THREE)

Outside my window.....

Darkness, currently. But more to the point- the cherry trees are beginning to blossom! Spring has begun to thaw winter's icy and remorseless heart, tinging the sparse and barren branches with rose-tinted life! 

I am thankful for.....
  • A roof over my head when it rains.
  • A lovely fire to curl up and study in front of. and fall asleep in front of
  • Julian Fellows
I am thinking about......

My children (non-existent for another decade or so). It's weird how attached I feel to them, like I know them already. I can't put into words how much I want to be a mother. I'm so glad God has given me that desire- unsure whether its a literal mother or spiritual (mother abbess!) yet, but thank you Lord! 

Learning all the time.......

When dividing Z by its complex conjugate, multiply both numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate to convert imaginary numbers into real. Expand as per algebraic rules. 

On my nightstand......
  • The Bible. :-)
  • Currently, nothing.... quite sad. Been too busy googling Downton Ab- I mean studying! But I did read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society last week. It was a compulsive read, absolutely delightful, and has instilled within me a desire to visit the Channel Islands!

I am working on.......

Not spending every moment of the day obsessing over Downton Abbey. (not doing too well)

I am praying.....

For guidance on a big decision I have to make

For strength of mind and heart

For purity

I am hearing......

Peace and quiet (one of my very favourite sounds)

One of my favourite things.....

Extra pillows when my spine is misbehaving

Plans for the rest of the week......

Calculus Exam Monday
Trip to Hamilton for shopping on Tuesday
Downton Abbey Marathon with friends on Wednesday
(back to school Thursday & Friday... study leave ends. Sad)

Quote of the moment.....

“Try not. Do or do not, there is no try.” ~ Yoda
I really have to finish watching Star Wars.....

A picture I am sharing with you.......

My life.

AMDG- It's all for you Jesus!

    1. Kelly,
      Season Three came out Sunday 16th Sept. in the UK, comes out next month in New Zealand, and starts 6th January next year on PBS in the States. However, I had a link to watch the first episode online... it was beautiful!!! I'll say no more, don't want to spoil anything!!!! (but YAY!) Am actually slightly envious of your media ignorance cave (are these available to purchase? I think I'm in need of one!). Hope everything is wonderful on your side of the Pacific- have you guys found a house in Bloomington yet?
      Love,
      Kate
