Progress

I am proud to announce that I have managed to temporarily snap out of my zombie-state of mind and actually do something. Yesterday I even left the building, which was really nice, so I'll do it again tonight. A friend of mine and I will spend the evening celebrating New Year's again, and the evening will include tacos, reflecting and setting goals for the year to come. Can it get any better?

Avoiding the minus below fifteen, I have learned a lot about the British history. Industrialization and liberalism, who wouldn't love to spend their vacation dwelling in such interesting issues? Don't know if I've managed to internalize the topics well enough, though I certainly hope so, as my history exam is in two weeks. I do feel sort of smarter, though, isn't that a good sign? I just hope the reforms would stop, I really cannot keep track on them anymore.

Recently I have really started to see the glory of tea. Not so much due to history cramming, although I did almost scream aloud with excitement when I read the name Earl Grey, I found it very hilarious. Such a familiar tea brand, and there he was as a person. I have no clue who he was and what he did, as I concentrated on pointing it out to my friend instead of his actual role in the history book. However, I have started to like drinking tea and I bought this really good flavor, I think it was gingko and blackcurrant. Never heard of gingko before, I have to admit, still not quite sure what it is. But let's not get stuck on the irrelevant, right?

Also, I finished my academic writing portfolio. I am completely and utterly relieved, as it turned out pretty good and I am very happy with it. And, it's pink, which makes it totally awesome. 

Tomorrow I'll hit the sales and visit the city library for the first time, as I just discovered that they have Fifty Shades of Grey in Spanish. I have to read it. I think I'll also get some other books in Spanish as I am extremely excited about planning my trip to Spain next summer. I'd better make use of that excitement now that I still feel like reading books.
