I have just sent in my assignments for module 2. Now I can relax. For about a week anyway until I have to start the next one!

After spending 8 hours at work today, I spent another 4 in the office finishing the assignments before coming home and rewarding myself with a nice cup of tea, a biscuit and some CSI NY.

Can't wait to get in from work tomorrow and not have to do any study. I want to just lie on the sofa and watch tv, or maybe just go to bed at 6pm. Though really I have a massive pile of ironing to tackle and need to pack for going home on Sunday and Edinburgh on Monday.

I have a week off next week - I know I've only been back at work for two weeks since Spain but it's always the way, everything comes at once. After this I won't be off until Christmas, and even then its dubious as to if I'll actually get any days off other than the obligatory Christmas day and New Years day. Won't even get an extra day off for boxing day as it's on a Saturday this year.

Can't believe I am thinking about Christmas already. Though a card shop in town was putting out christmas cards two weeks ago which is just depressing. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas. But I think I would like it a lot more if we didn't have 5 months of it. Would be a bit more special then. Having said that, my family is so big (and I'm so unorganised) I need to start now to get all my presents bought in time! Anyway, I digress...

I'm going to Edinburgh next week. With my parents. In a caravan. They had booked it already and I decided I'd tag along, spend a few days geeking it up in the museums and shopping and generally escaping from work and study and french squatters.
