I had my first ever assesed presentation today and it went really well! It is worth 20% of the module International Organisations and I managed the group, arranging meetings, collating the work etc. We did the presentation in almost exactly 30 minutes which is spot on, and then we manage to lead a successful discussion for 20 minutes, we even got kicked out of the seminar room because it went on too long. At the end we were told that it was a very good presentation and we would receive feedback via e-mail this week. It has made me feel so much better because after the few weeks I have had I was starting to think that I wasn’t up for doing a degree, but now I can just get on with my American Politics Essay and getting my notes together.
Myself and the boyfriend have to go and sign our tenancy agreement for next year tomorrow, which I am feeling good about because we have been living together for 2 months now and it seems to be getting better! At first it was a bit stressful but now, I just know that I absolutely LOVE living with him.
I have had to stop doing French I think though; I am biting off more than I can chew because i have a hard time organising and motivating myself already. I did love it though; it’s a beautiful language and made a change from all things political! I haven’t really said anything about the Paris trip. It’s late now so I will post some pictures another time and say a little bit about it. It is an amazing city.
Apparently I might be going back to France in 3 and a half weeks time with the Boyfriends Dad, family and hopefully 2 sisters, but they have a difficult (if any exists at all ) relationship, so I’m not sure how they feel about it. Also means I won’t have as much time to revise at Christmas and won’t see my family as much.
I brought me and the boyfriend an advent calendar today as it is the 1st of December and sometime this week we will go and pick up our Christmas tree! I am so excited, but need to get lots of decorations first. I will let you know how decorating goes! It is so exciting because it is the first time I have decorated a place of my own and my first ever real Christmas tree.
I am not very well at the moment, so I think I am going to take myself off to bed (maybe with a hot chocolate, with whipped cream and marshmallows!) quite soon, I still have sleep to catch up on from Paris...
