Shopping, honours project, weird sleeping times
Yesterday after class I went out to Iceland, this little supermarket in the Wellgate, with Ice. I’d never been there before because I never noticed it, but it’s a good alternative to Tesco. Lots of variety there, for sure. I got a pack of milk chocolate digestives and a bottle of tomato ketchup. I’ll have to go back there and look around another time. The ice cream tubs looked tempting! There was a big tub of thin mint ice cream, which is my favourite flavour. :9
After Ice and I parted ways in front of his place, I went down to HMV and bought a couple of CDs. I’ve really gotten in to jazz the past few months and I’m always on the lookout for more of it. I bought Careless Love by Madeleine Peyroux and Then & Now: The Definitive Herbie Hancock. I adore Peyroux’s CD; in particular Don’t Wait Too Long, it’s so refreshing. The Herbie Hancock CD is excellent as well and I’m considering getting River: The Joni Letters now. I didn’t realise his career went back so far and that I’ve heard a fair few of his songs before.
I then went to Tesco to buy some lunch (a chicken and bacon pasta, an all-day breakfast sandwich for later, and a tropical fruit juice) and then headed down to the BSM office to check on how many hours I have booked for my driving lessons. My instructor says when I get back from my Christmas vacation we should book my practical driving test already. It’s pretty exciting, really.
Once I got home I called my brother and mum over Skype and then had a nap - which lasted about 5 hours! When I woke up at around 6pm I did a little reading for my honours project and began writing my project proposal. There’s plenty to write and I have loads of sources; I’m going to have to cut down and simplify. You might notice my honours project blog hasn’t been updated in a while, but I’ve been keeping a paper log of my activity so far and I’ll update it with that info later.
I ended up sleeping around 5am this morning and woke up at about 10am. My internal clock is really out of sync with the day, but I think it’s alright. I tend to work better during the night because there are fewer distractions. In my flat I can hear straight out onto the road and it can be a bit bothersome sometimes.
In about half an hour I’ll be leaving to go to a meeting with my honours project supervisor and after that I have my final driving lesson for this term. :)
