Retail therapy...

So today I went to Meadowhall (again). Retail therapy; every girl enjoys it, even if they  say they hate shopping there's still a part of the female gender that loves a bit of self-indulgence. As you can see I made a few purchases. But like a good ol' student, I made sure they were bargains. Well, okay, may the Disney film at £13 wasn't that much of a bargain, but it was a much needed 'blast into my past'. The shoes however... BARGAIN! Four pairs, two of them leather, all for £32! Well, £42, but I had a £10 voucher. So I'm feeling incredibly girly and indulged.

 

Of late I have been feeling quite low, probably due to not getting to see much of the daylight other than what little (emphasis on the little) sunshine I saw on placement. I'm definitely Vitamin D deficient. So I went to Meadowhall (not that there's much sun there, but it beats being stuck inside all day), like we all did last weekend, hoping that it'd lift my spirits like before. It helped loads; buying something new that I'm desperate to wear to uni and flash off my style (oh, how vain?)!  But today also made me realise just how restless I am. It got to 5.30pm, I was up at 7am for a Drs appointment, then did some cleaning and after that I'd been shopping since 12.30pm... But I wasn't ready to go home yet, even though I'd been into practically every shop. I was still bouncing with energy and I just wanted to be around people. I wanted to have all my girl friends around me, to go to the cinema, to laugh, to jump around like the Mad Hatter that I can be. But I was on my own by this point as my friend I meet there had to leave early. I need distraction. I don't know what I need distracting from, maybe I just need to stop thinking so much for once.

Despite feeling lonely and restless and hyperactive, I've not felt this refreshed in a while. Look here I am looking all refreshed and smiley:

I've even talked my Mother to death on Skype this evening, avoiding doing any little task I have so that I actually have things to do tomorrow. There's only three of us in the house so it's very quiet. But hopefully Kaye and I shall be going for a random stroll down Ecclesall road and to the Botanical Gardens tomorrow, which will be lovely as long as the weather behaves. I even have Monday off too, though I have to go to uni to hand in my Practice Placement assessment book, so I'll get to see some uni friends hopefully.

I'm hoping that once the lecture and workload starts up again, I'll be a lot less restless and bored. In fact I'll probably be begging for a day of nothing to do! Oh how life always feeds me the extremes...
