Feeling a bit down, not progressing with my study. My head has been all over except on my assignment. So I break. Go for a walk. Water the plants. Eat some food. Make some tea.
I pinched a daffodil from the counter at work.
It looks lonely on my home desk, but they are my favourite.
One day I wish to have a whole bed of daffodils to sit next to.

I know how that feels. Assignments are always stressful. I found I couldn’t concentrate at home, and that the library was a good place to go and study. You can get a tea or coffee, and there are no distractions. A solid hour concentrating on your assignment will be better than 3 at home where you can watch tv or play on your iPad and get nothing done. You will feel better you have done something, then can go home and relax. Just small steps each day and it will be written in no time. Best of luck, you will be good.
