Haven't been updating in a little while, and as you probably can guess, my time here at university has gotten quite busy, especially after the Christmas break. Going home for Christmas was great though the journey to there and back here was a killer. I got to do a massive load of shopping, you name it, clothes, shoes, jackets (to prepare myself for the full on winter when I get back), art materials, fabric, trims, etc. I got to eat all the good food which I used to take for granted, got to experience the good life again basically. 

Think about it, you get your laundry done for you, cleaning of the rooms and toilets done, every meal all set out on the table, dishes all washed, and all I have to do is move from my bedroom to the living room and from the living room to the dining room, it's one amazing feeling. Of course the best feeling was seeing my little poochie again since I haven't seen her for 3 months. Good thing too she still remembers who I am. Even though it was a good 40, 45 hour journey to and back from Rochester to Hong Kong, I suppose all the goodies I've got (from shopping, food, pampering), it was worth it. Though I have to say, the two massive luggages plus a 10kg backpack nearly killed me. To make things worse was the fact that the Piccadilly line was under maintenance and I had to get off at Acton Town, take a bus (let's not even go there) to Hammersmith and then drag the two bags all the way back into the station.

Of course I have been spoilt rotten by the convenient MTR stations in Hong Kong and then I realized when I got back here, there are no lifts, or trolleys in the airports, or should I say, barely. Out of the endless times I had to get on and off trains and buses, only Heathrow, Acton Town and Rochester had some form of way for me to move with those bags be it escalators or lifts. The rest of the stations, ha, I had to drag those bags all the way up the stairs. If it weren't for the kind souls who helped me out, I would've probably collapsed somewhere halfway along the journey.

But enough of that, all is well now. I've settled back into the uni life, getting back into the swing of things though laundry, doing the sheets and cleaning the room/bathroom still proves to be a challenge. It's back to the usual uni food though I am beginning to experiment a little with the cooking. Just managed to cook myself some fresh tomato and potato soup the other night. 

The snow's been on and off the past few weeks but this morning, waking up to see the area covered with white snow was one great start to the day. 

It's been "heavy snow" all day today, hopefully it keeps up this way for the many days and weeks to come, least that would give me some reason to be hopeful about the freezing weather. And of course the blankets of snow just makes me feel all jolly again, like it's Christmas. I've even left my Christmas decorations in my room on from last year, along with the little Christmas lights hanging over my bed. 

Alright, that's it for now, till who knows, maybe a couple months later. I've got some pile of work waiting for me to complete:
