Last Day 2013

It's the early minutes of the very last day of 2013! Times flies does it not?

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I did start the post about The Time of The Doctor. But I needed time to take it all in. You know what I mean. Gup! And then of course work has been a killer. Stupid Year End!

I'm really tired now. Time to sleep.

Goodbye Eleven! I'll miss you!

What can I say? The Time of The Doctor was... overwhelming. It's like the TARDIS. It's jam packed. With way more than even the 50th Anniversary did.

I've watched the episode three times already (I probably should stop) but it still packs a punch. I don't know what to say or how exactly I feel. Which is only to say how dear I hold Doctor Who to my heart.

... No. Sorry. I'm going to have to come back to do this. It's too difficult :(

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Last night was the first Christmas Eve I have ever just fallen asleep at 9 o'clock. I'm getting old!

I hope everyone is having loads of food and enjoying themselves! Happy Christmas!

Secret Santa

Christmas the gift giving season. What's it like in you're work place? Well, in my office we had a Secret Santa. One of my colleagues even dressed up as Santa. People sat on his lap! Although he was quite straight with some of the lads who wanted to! Haha. :D

An office email went around detailing the gist of the Secret Santa specifically stating to purchase a low cost non-food gift for the person. There were some pretty thoughtful and interesting gifts. I went out after work the evening before and purchased a set of beer glasses for my giftee. I had a nightmare trying to wrap it - shameful I know! I've forgotten how to wrap a simple cube! The most simple of prisms! But alas, I did my best and even tied a streamer bow around it.

Disappointing it was that my Secret Santa dashed to Woolies and got me a box of chocolates! But it's still chocolate. I can't complain :) Sadly another colleague opened her present to find black socks! No-no. Not just black socks but white socks too. Like that is any consolation right? Some people just don't put any thought into it.

Boredom

Bored. Bored. BORED! As Sherlock liked to put it. 

Speaking of which Series 3 of Sherlock is not long away! Woo!

It's so strange. I'm so strange. For the past three months I've been stressing out. Wishing and wishing and wishing and wishing and wishing... and WISHING that I didn't have to study. You know that whinging child within us all. But now that I'm free from it all... I'm sad to say it, but I'm bored.

=?

Jelly beans!

I felt like it was time for a new template. What do you think? Colourful no? ;) Mmmm jelly beans! Although, did I tell you the story of how I ate a tube of Happy Lab jelly beans and spouted a gazillion pimples? Oh wells, I may not be able to have that many jelly beans but it still makes me smile seeing so many!

I'm not set on it yet, so you might see some switching and glitching back and forth in the next few weeks. I've-gotta-m-m-make-up-my-mind! Sorry, I was listening to End Love by OK Go.

I did my exam today. It was bad, and let's leave it there.

Back to work tomorrow. Big sighs!

Eye before the storm

Hiiiii...

I have an exam tomorrow :( which only means under this calm persona is an extremely terrified little girl!

Why is this the eye of the storm? Well, you should have seen me two days ago. Absolutely frantic! Right now I'm just tired of it all. There is an inevitable possibility of failing. A bigger probability I would normally accept to going into an exam with but times have changed and this is a new playing field. Those doing their CA would understand.

... wish me luck.

Wedding Bells

Congratulations to my friend on her big day!

Having sad that. Am I the only one who finds weddings a bit boring? :P

I've been to two weddings this year and... Zzzzz...

It's December

Yup! The year is almost over. Blimey, that was quick, yeah?

It's rather been a strange year for me and I reckon life is only gonna get stranger in the years to come. Comes with growing up and seeing everyone else grow up too!

Oh I just want things to halt sometimes. Like right now. Or all the time. I'm literally exhausted. Strange yeah? I'm exhausted and yet I don't want to go to sleep. Ahh, well, I do want to go to sleep but at the same time I have a conflicting desire to stay wake. I want to make the most of what's left of the day to just whine down.

Do you want to hear a confession? I was actually doing work up until 20 minutes ago. Yep, I've become one of those people that work all day and then take their work home with them. Screw you VPN! Look what you have done to me! But then having been a uni student for 5 years and a student all my life prior to that, I'm so use to being able to work on things at any convenient hour of the day I so choose. Which of course includes my evening or even the dead of night.

My next CA exam is 12 days. I should be stress and I know I will be. Which makes me feel weary, that I should be crammy madly every day going forward. But I'm not. I can't seem to tap into that crazed emotion state. So I'm worried that I'm not worried. Which is worring isn't it? Not to mention I havent been studying at all in the last 3 weeks. Not proper studying anyway, which back in the old uni days wouldn't be a big deal. The exams were easier, rote learning could get you by, and there was plenty of time to catch up. Oh, I miss those days!

It's almost Christmas! And the count down begins. For me, the count down will be for The Time of The Doctor! My answer was so predictable wasn't it? :)

Well, one more month. Cheers to that!

Behind the Lens - The Day of the Doctor - Doctor Who 50th Anniversary - BBC

I feel like going on a re-blogging rampage, but I will be discreet. This one I just had to because, we didn't get to see a Ten and Rose scene in the 50th Special, so the next best thing is to see a behind the scenes conversation with the two. Ohh it makes me miss the good old Ten and Rose times!

...and one sight that will bring a smile is John Hurt in a fez!
