Last day of my holiday :(
It’s been such a relaxing and peaceful week. I’ve done so much; learnt how to ride my bike, pretty much completed my presentation, watched the Da Vinci Code and been quite the housewife.
It’s so weird how relaxing and peaceful the countryside is. You get so caught up in the city, you don’t even know where your days disappear to when you go to sleep. I’ve enjoyed just being able to sit and stare out of the window and loose myself in the raindrops falling on the window pane. I’ve enjoyed being able to watch shit t.v. and enjoy stupid amounts of ice cream under a duvet. But, most of all, I’ve enjoyed just being selfish and not having to answer to anyone’s demands. I’ve just happily got on with my studying, eaten good food and most of all been able to destress.
As much as I love London and all it has to offer, I do sometimes wonder if I would be happier if I lived out in the country and be a writer. I’d drink endless cups of tea, cycle to my local shop and write endless amounts of jargon that would maintain some form of existence. Life just seems simpler out here - not being elbowed on the train, breathing fresh air and not being woken up in the middle of the night by sirens and/or drunk teens.
I think I’m going to spend my last day here doing what I love best; reading and drinking tea. I’ve got a book I need to finish for my book review. I think I’ll pop the kettle on, scrape my hair into a high bun and finish the hundred or so pages I’ve got left.
