Hello everyone! Please exercise patience
with me as I attempt to get my work-life balance in check. This week, you will
get three of the usual posts. Who knows about the week after? I’m trying as
hard as I can.
I was a little worried about this post when
I first sat down to write it. I wasn’t sure I had actually been doing enough
things to warrant a whole post. The last time I wrote one in
August, it was easy because I was out all the time in summer. At the
moment, I’m struggling to make it out of the flat because I’m left with marking
and chores (and sleeping) on the weekends. However, I was pleasantly surprised
at what was on my phone.
I simply had to put up this picture of Heidi,
Natalie and I on our night out in Leeds. Back home, we always used to go out
together. Since I live so close to all the cool bars, we had to take advantage
of it. We danced for THREE hours. It had been about five months since I had a
proper night out, and it was very much needed.
Although this is not clear at all, this is
a picture of fireworks from Bonfire Night. Matt and I took a long walk up to
where we both used to live, went to our favourite restaurant, and watched the
fireworks. Three years ago, this was the first night he introduced me to his
flatmates who are now good friends of mine. It’s a special night all around.
Although this looks bare now (and you can
see my reflection in the window), my Christmas tree is most certainly up! It is
so little, and I love it so much. I need to get lights for it, but I am already
so pumped for all of the Christmas things to erupt in my little flat!
I went out to the German Christmas Market,
and this was the only picture I took! I had a lovely night of mulled wine, chatting,
and Christmas tunes with some new work friends. It was a great way to end the
week and also get to know some new people.
I think this accidentally turned into a
Christmas themed post. Just wait until next month!
This is genuinely all I’ve been up to. It’s
not much. I’m really aiming to get a better work-life balance going (any
tips?), and part of that is going out on weekends to do fun things. I need to
breathe a little more and get work out of my head. I also need to spend more
time with Matt!
What have you been up to this month?
