It is apparently Christmas again. I seem to lack holiday cheer, though. Most of the people close to me will be fairly aware of why. It's kinda tricky, I've got lots of things to do and stuff I need to concentrate on, but my mind is constantly distracted. Oh well, there's still a few days left until the 25th so I guess I can be infected with Christmassy joy yet. Possibly.
This is the first holiday since I got to university when I can honestly say that I'd have preferred to be in Swansea. It's really strange because normally I'm keen to see my parents, but I just miss everyone and wish we could all stay around. Of course, it's not the same without the structure of lectures and is insanely quiet as soon as people start to leave. It's a very strange phenomenon, actually. Very like the weekends in the first year when campus was just totally empty. Anyway, if you're at home and missing everyone, just keep telling yourself what I am, "you'll see them all again soon enough". And distract yourself with things designed to keep you distracted. Maybe even do some revision :) I'd heard that was a good one.
