Xavi's 5am Natter!

I'm starting to think that I'm going a little doolally as it were, as I'm sitting downstairs in the accommodation dining room, after productive revision, multiple coffees, tea, a beer, and no sleep, and I'm feeling a little strangely energetic. Nevertheless, I thought I'd pause from my revision (I'm not encouraging any all nighters just to clarify, in the moment it feels like a good idea... it probably isn't) and do something I haven't really done in a while, which is basically have a chat. That's probably the simplest of ways to put it, this blog started off being fairly chatty, with preparation for Uni, then there was more on books, music, film etc then I started writing more sentimental and advice-giving posts, which is all well and good but after a while, you need a bit of an anticlimax in some sense. So, I'm taking advantage of my current willingness to be scarily productive, and taken into consideration the probability that because of my lack of sleep this week, especially tonight (this morning?, don't really know what to call it, covers both) I am unlikely to be able to write a more intense post like before! Hooray I say! Let's have a breather from crazy 'be happy' posts, or reviews of different things and just have a natter...well I, caffeined up and a little mad will type my ramblings into this post, with the hope someone might be interested, not really a natter, but I notice as I write this that I'm speaking out loud anyway so I guess I'm talking to my laptop?.... No, that's worse than not nattering at all... where does the word natter even come from? Oh well... Cool.... Natter. As you can see, as it is just a natter, there's not a planned structure as such, but you don't meet up with someone and turn up with a 20 minute schedule on what you're gonna talk about now do ya?! ...do you? 25th May and I am becoming more and more excited and more ready for the summer, for when exams are over and uni is paused for 4 months holiday, and I get to enjoy the warmth (presumably, but you never know!) with my friends and just generally relax a bit more! People can say anything about Britain, and its weather, but when it is sunny, and it is a nice day there are some blooming wonderful places to go! The beaches, the countryside, the lakes, and I can guarantee you there's a place outside your door that you haven't explored yet. Explore it. Why? Because you can, and because, for you, it will only exist when you see it, and why deny a place existence if it could hold some of your best future memories? I was always think as well people feel compelled to makes so much of summer, pack so much in, do everything, spend all your money, go to every place you can, which by no means is a bad thing, it's great, summer's meant for that, but strangely some people forget to relax. If what you're doing or have organised to do is causing you too much unneeded stress, then how can you enjoy the summer?! Always give time to relax, grab a beer/cider/pimms/fanta/coke/juice carton/milk/water/ trough water (if you're horse...but then you wouldn't be so forget that). 
There's a strange feeling at Uni at the moment, because it's just revision and minimal lectures/ classes the campus is always a lot quieter, people are not downstairs as much anymore, and the summer term is beginning to show similarities to some apocalyptic event. Revision; The Apocalypse, where nearly everyone looks tired and half-dead and their sensitivity may cause them to snap at you, where most places you go only have a few of these people who occasionally smile, but the majority of the time stay staring into the distance yearning for brains. Of course I'm exaggerating but it is definitely weird, and it's strange to only be here for 6 weeks, but summer terms is giving me chances to think (not always a good idea, so be careful what your brain stumbles upon!) and work out post-graduation things, quite exciting actually. Okay, so that was a strange and completely unorganised post, but you gotta love days like that, can't have a blog being rigid and regimented, it's gotta be fun every once in a while, keep smiling people.
