Hiya peeps,

I know, I know, I know...

It's been over a month since I last posted and I'm sorry.

So here's a much due update on me life.

Also, go follow my new French blog : @frenchfats where I will document my French learning experience. I already studied French for about 5 years as part of the school curriculum but I kinda forgot it over the last 2 years. Thus, je réapprendrai le français. Wish me luck, lmao.

As some of you may know...I'm a dyslexic student. One of the consequences of being dyslexic is that I get anxiety over reading long books. I find it daunting and spine chilling. But since its the new year (or rather February), I am challenging my dyslexic ass to read the famous Harry Potter series. I have watched each movie religiously growing up (and still do).

Yes, I'm a literature student and no, I have never read them. I know - I'm ashamed too... hence the challenge.

I vow to be more consistent this year. I promise.

Hot cocoa in my new favourite mug...

See you in 2-3 days looking like a dishevelled racoon on Class A drugs....

Literally me right now...

Can you tell I practically live in Costa...?

Tho this is a picture from about 3 weeks ago ...woops

[literary-fats]

After I sent my two assignments I decided to make a plan that didn't physically, mentally and emotionally kill me....

And now that it's Thursday and I had three days to rejuvenate my systems after the wrath of the assignments: here's my plan for today....

And yes... COFFEE is key today because we back on business, baby 😂😂😂

[literary-fats]

After a long tedious week, I sent both assignments!😆😆

Even though I forgot to cite the main text in the bibliography...woops 😣😣

[literary-fats]

I met up with a few old friends today for a project we plan to do... it was fun and I got to study at the Costa across my old sixth form!🤓🤓 Brought back a rush of memories though😢😢😢

PS. Can anyone tell that my university life revolves around Costa...

'Tis a mission to make the Costa staff know my name by the end of my degree!
