An Attempt to be Productive on a Rainy Day

It seems that since coming back from Uni, I can't bring myself to spend a day doing absolutely nothing. Once my favourite past time, I can no longer lounge around in my pyjamas all day watching Disney videos (that's right, video - for me, it's the only way my childhood cartoons can be enjoyed) with a tub of ice cream and the mountain of chocolate I have remaining from Easter. But, regrettably, I seem to be no longer able to have a date with my duvet and sofa without being plagued with guilt!

                                                         What was once a favourite past time, is now nothing more

                                                                                           than a mere memory :(

Now for anyone who knows me, I don't do things by halves. So when it was apparent that the weather today would be unable to decide whether it was going to be sunny, stormy or even pelt down a tonne of hail - I made the decision it was time for a productive day.

9.30am, when any other normal person on their holidays would still be hours away from waking up, there I was   up and raring to go. Not only this, but I was ready and raring to go whilst already at the gym, having already arrived fifteen minutes previously. Now don't get me wrong, I am far from being a fitness enthusiast, but when I do exercise I do exercise, AND makes sure everyone hears about it afterwards ;) But I will save you all the gory details!

Following my fitness kick I was feeling rather virtuous so thought that I was entitled to a bit of television with my guilty pleasure, which is Neighbours. Now I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I absolutely adore this show, from the Australian accents, to the constant sunshine, to the array of handsome young men they have on screen - often topless (well it is hot out there after all!). So a little date in with neighbours was, to me, a perfectly valid and justified point to check off my To Do list today!

Now, even though it is the holidays my ever so wonderful University knew that no break away from campus is complete without 6000 words to write, joy. But today was my productive day so I cracked on and got down to my essay. However it got me thinking, why are essays so incredibly dull and soul destroying to write? I love writing (hence my blogging!) and yet, when writing essays, the minutes seem to drag by and I have to forcibly remove myself from Facebook and Twitter on countless occasions. Hey ho! I guess that's the way things go!

To top off all of my productiveness I thought it was time for a bit more fresh air so took my beautiful goldie, Mia, out for a trot around the village before getting back home to start devising secret birthday plans for a very special person's 21st next week. I'm the kind of person who gets so excited about surprises and just wants to let everyone know what I am doing - but I am going to be strict with myself and will not reveal anything of my plans until next week! What I can promise though, because I am enjoying writing these so much, is that there will be a blog to follow!

So who knows what tomorrow brings, what I do know is that it sadly will not be a duvet day with my favourite Disney characters (which are Belle, Hercules and Woody - just in case you were wondering!) For now that's all I have, but promise to scribble more soon! XXX
