goodness me

i have been experiencing an unusual stress level of late. i did finish my academic year today, so i suppose that's an exhale and easier load to juggle. my paper for monday went quite decently for about half of its length and then plummeted, crammed for time, and my exam today went quite well actually. my sleeping habits have become distressingly compliant to my will, meaning that i can sleep the instant i decide to and stay awake whenever i decide not to, whatever the time of day. this means i end up taking a bunch of twenty minute naps at random, as the need arises. this is great and convenient and all, but feels terribly wrong, and i think my body is pretty upset with me over it, as i have been dizzy all day today.
a lot has been happening in addition to this, of various degrees of importance and pleasantness. sometime soon i will post some fun pictures from times around edinburgh with friends.
at the moment, however, i have very little sleep in me and must prepare my luggage and brain for my imminent trip to paris. i'll grab my night bus at 3:30am, so time is short and i must let my blogging debt accumulate until my return on sunday.
wish me happy trails - hopefully i will transform overnight from a wearied and fantasy-less student who has lately seen far too much of her four little walls and tiny dormer window into a worldly traveller (aka tourist) ready to soak up the city of glamour and love and art and culture and snobbery while drinking coffee and eating croissants. really, i would quite like to be that girl for the next three days. au revoir cheries-
