Winter wonderland ❄️
Me walking down an alley at Guildford castle A selfie of me with snowflakes in the background and my sister’s bf walking past like a ghost! A selfie of me, my sister, my mum and my sister’s bf in the Guildford castle grounds. Illuminated Guildford castle grounds: lit up red tulips, a Christmas nutcracker, an LED field and a warmly-lit hut.

I watched all of these today and if you’re asking, no, I’m not ok

Worth also noting that the School of Literature and Languages has incredible student satisfaction results, which the university is proud to show on their website, but not proud enough, apparently, to treat staff the way they deserve.
A screenshot from the University of Surrey website, showing the subjects with the best student satisfaction: Biosciences, French studies, English Literature, Microbiology, Music, Politics, Veterinary science and Sociology.

I spent a LONG time rereading Their Eyes Were Watching God because I tend to read books so fast the first time that I don’t have room to take everything in, but I’m now onto this beauty!

So yesterday I ran my first 10k race and I finished it! Since last Thursday, I’ve been ill with a really nasty super cold thingy so I wasn’t able to do it in the best possible time but considering I felt so ill, I’m just glad that I finished it and I also didn’t have to walk!
