I Am Terrible At Being A Blog

Hello dear ones, very sorry I seem to have forgotten about you lately. I'm going through my customary post-exam wind down (I assault my body with so much sugar and caffeine and so little sleep during exams that I usually take some time to recover), but the fact that my classes resumed a total of one and a half days after my exams finished has meant that I am currently meandering zombie-like through a haze of sometimes going to college, eating the easiest and often least nutritious food I can get my oafish paws on, and watching (but not really seeing) episodes of That Mitchell and Webb Look on Youtube as I stare open-mouthed at my laptop screen.

I cooked this. It was the highlight of the last 3 weeks. 

None of which is particularly noteworthy nor which makes for a good blog post. But here I am trying anyway. I don't have an awful lot to say but I thought it was about time I checked in. The exams went well enough, so far I've passed 2/4, I am hopeful about one of the two remaining and very unhopeful (not a word) about the other. Messing up an oral exam does mean I have to repeat the same Spanish course I've just finished but as far as I'm concerned that just means I never have to go to class shhhh. I am hoping that if I did fail that other exam (Why didn't I study the Russian occupation of Afghanistan in more depth, as the old saying goes) I'll be allowed to do compensation work rather than go through the rigmarole of repeating an exam in September or taking up another subject this term, which wouldn't be ideal given that a) I get tired enough already and b) I would not go back to the office where you register for courses and go through the stress I went through in October if you put a gun to my head.

Given that I haven't done much of interest in the month and a bit I've been back in Spain I'm determined to at least have something new and fun to talk about every week. And we can intersperse that with boring and inane posts. Like this one. On Saturday night we're heading down to Cádiz for the last night of Carnaval, the fun part before Lent, so that will probably be the next thing I talk about, provided I come back alive and with my camera.

Hasta pronto x

P.S the Bin People came back, apparently they got a 3% wage increase which is only 1% after tax, but it is about the principle of the thing and the whole experience has certainly taught me that without them this place would be Hell on earth. Kudos to you, Bin People.
