This has been a difficult week for everyone on my MA course. It has been a long and dragging week with little good news.

Blogruary Day 11: The Second Attempt at Cycling
As I've previously documented, I've started cycling to university. It was the start of a new week today so I thought - why not cycle every day?
It is a lot more effort than walking but it takes a lot less time. I woke up this morning after a generous lie-in and woke to the worst of news.

Blogruary Day 10: The Semi-Productive Sunday
One of my New Year's resolutions was to limit the amount of alcohol that I drink.
I declared that I would avoid drinking where possible and when I did, I would only have three pints if down the pub and four pints if I were going out-out. So far it has gone well and I've yet to wake up with a hangover or reach a state of drunkenness.
I was close to giving up alcohol all together, however, as I've recently gained a taste for ale and enjoyed exploring the length of breadth of all things ale, I decided not to go the whole hog.
Whilst I went out last night for eight hours, I didn't exceed my limit and once I had reached my golden number I drank two whole pints of lime and soda and a half-pint of Pepsi. This ensured that I woke up today clear-headed and ready to work.
After a well-deserved weekend lie-in, I got straight down to work by reading the Sunday papers. As a journalism student, I think I can get away with calling that work.
I had to act as a taxi driver for my dad and sister at different times in the day but I managed to write a blog, draft a cover letter and finish off my plans for another job application.
As I have another set of shorthand exams on Friday, I'm about to get down to practising my Teeline speed.
Oh, I also did my weekly washing. Aren't Sundays brilliantly boring?

Blogruary Day 8: The Work Day
Today saw me wake up really late. I didn't wake from my slumber until 12:15pm which, trust me, is very late.
