Lazy Days

With the holidays slowly but surely drawing to a close, my mind turns to uni and the year to come. I am thankful for many things and people at the moment; I got all my first choice modules for uni this year, I have almost nothing to do in preparation for going to uni, I'm warm and comfy, living in a bearable climate, have a loving partner (not to mention the other people around me who care) and probably best of all, I have another visit from Mark coming up just before I go back to uni.

I'm looking forward to this visit very much, and though it'll only be a very short one, I am having trouble enjoying things as they are in favour of looking forward to the future. My eyes are on this small trip mainly because we're (hopefully) planning on visiting the zoo when Mark's over, with Hayley and Ash. I can only imagine the boyish display of happiness that I'll get from Mark as we wander around and look at the animals. However, that isn't all I'm looking forward to with this visit; the warmth of his body is another thing, and the way we care for each other. At the moment all we lack is physical contact, but that's a big thing when you have to go without it. I will, without a doubt, love sharing his company, his warmth, and many other things with him.

Recently I have been playing Guild Wars a lot during the day and have finally decided to level up my Dervish. With a slightly rocky start I started slashing my scythe about only to discover that I actually really enjoyed it. Frontlining is something I have never really tried, nor got into, I tend to be a bit of a Leroy. But in these last few days I have seen myself improve, perhaps not as quickly as I did with the Monk, but fairly well. I find it refreshing to beat things up visibly instead of standing at the back enabling others to do so. The last task (and it's a big one) is to make myself monkable in hard mode by being aware of what's going on. As with every profession, position is key, and even more so than Monks, one step too far in any direction and I could aggro more than the team can handle. Still, I'm progressing well for my own liking, and enjoying it every step of the way, the challenging new builds and completely different style of play are just what I need to make the game feel as fresh and new as it did when I first started.

My last note is about Hayley, because she flies up to Edinburgh with Ash soon. She's really excited, and rightly so I think. Spending time with someone you love is something to be excited about. I can't deny that I will miss her a lot, but I know she needs it. She's needed a holiday away from her family for as long as I've known her, but those sleep overs that we have just don't cut it. Hopefully this trip of hers will do the trick, or at least work towards it.

As I know she'll probably stop by, I'll say: Have a great time Hayley :D
That's it dear readers.
