It’s raining <3 I like being indoors with a blanket when it’s like this. Lou and I did a bit of shopping earlier, but now I’ve a Greek prose comp to write and really nowhere else to go all day, unless I want to go listen to Field Marshall Lord Vincent at the union tonight. Matt’s stewarding, so I might, but I’ve been a bit under the weather recently so staying cuddled up here seems quite appealing too.
Week one finishes on Thursday, which I can’t quite believe - it feels I’ve been back for far longer. I’ve got a lot done, though not really anything academic - we had two-hour choir rehearsals every day last week for Bach’s epic B Minor Mass, then the concert in London on Friday, which went down very well. We also had the posh annual choir dinner on Thursday night, which I was initially very nervous about, as I don’t really socialise with anyone in choir, but after a glass of wine I felt comfortable enough to join in the conversation, and it because an extremely amusing evening. Delicious food too, though I didn’t manage all six courses.
Things are largely as I thought they would be, getting back here. That is, I am no longer quite so independent - even though I suppose in a sense I’m not exactly independent in my parents’ house at home either. But it’s a different kind of dependency here, an emotional one, born out of spending my days and nights in someone else’s pocket, and because of this I’ve had a few upsetting moments since getting back, largely because of my own insecurities. But for the most part I am content, and very aware of my luck in finding someone so lacking in insecurities himself but so understanding of mine. Everyone needs to cry sometimes, he points out. even though he never does.
I’ve a fairly quiet week coming up, a scattering of lectures and language supervisions, and a three-hour mock on Friday (not fun) but the prospect of a nice evening on Thursday, because that’s our newly-nominated anime evening. We might even get to finish Ouran. And, in the shorter term, I have about 2 hours to finish this prose comp.
edit: Hail! Awesome.
