Dear November,
The penultimate day was okay just about. Sometimes I felt pretty alone despite being surrounded by people. As well as being frustrated and confused by certain people.
The evening was better than expected and I was so tired that I could barely keep my eyes open. And writing this has just reminded me of the amount of TV I need to catch up on.
I really can't wait for December though, because I LOVE Christmas and this year's is going to be excellent.

Dear November,
Today was rather average. The day at college was pretty good, if a little boring. I also spent a lot of time comforting friends in the evening.
Sorry for the very short letter, I just don't have a lot to say about this day.

Dear November,
Today you began with an early morning and nervous anticipation. I had an interview for a university and got the response that I've always wanted to receive to my work and my skills. Celebration then commenced with a meal with the family in the evening.
Today was definitely worth the 6am wake-up call.

Dear November,
I'm not really sure anymore whether I genuinely don't have time to blog or whether I'm just procrastinating. Because I certainly haven't been able to keep track this week with writing letters like I promised. However these two days were very stressful and resulted in quite a few spot breakouts. One day in which (the 25th) I ended up having a breakdown from the stress of completing my portfolio for my interview.
November is almost over and I have mixed feelings about this month which I will summarise on Saturday.

Letters To November // 11-24
Dear November,
I think the fact that I haven't written a letter in two weeks just proves how busy I've been. I've hardly had time to stop for a second and think to myself about how I'm feeling. The first week, 11-17th, was a combination of feelings. Mainly in stress in order to comply a photography coursework deadline, then on the 14th I attended a concert which was completely amazing and worth queuing a few hours in the cold for. It wasn't worth it the next day, however. Getting up late and you throat and body being agony, really isn't the best. I really just wanted to hand in my photography coursework and go. I spent a few hours in solitude resting when I got home which was nice and I managed to cheer up a bit after seeing my favourite band on TV during a charity telethon. Oh and I got tickets this week to see said favourite band.
The proceeding days involved me attempting to get better, although still now I wake up every morning with a sore throat which is so horrible. Then this week was stressful and frustrating as I was trying to get some support from my teacher Re: my university portfolio. I understand she's busy, but I really want it to be perfect in order to get me an actual offer at a university. Speaking of which, I still need to complete a digital portfolio for Tuesday and get her to check it. I had great moment of happiness this week with seeing eagerly anticipated films and 50th anniversary specials of cult TV shows.
This proceeding week is going to be stressful also, my life does really seem to be just a huge ball of stress. I haven't watched a TV show or film in ages and that makes me sad. I also have my first university interview on Wednesday which I'm so nervous for as I've already suffered a rejection from one university and I really want to gain something from this university to make up for it.
I will try to be better at writing letters in the last week of the month, but I can't exactly promise anything.

Dear November,
I spent the Sabbath day exactly how it was meant to be spent - doing nothing. It was so nice to relax and watch cartoons whilst reading a book and just to do nothing for once. I do know I have some organisational things to do, but those can be done later, as always.
The forthcoming week is going to be stressful but exciting and it is most likely that the weekend will be the one thing I will be looking forward to.
I also had a realisation today about actually how good my life has gotten? More than two years ago I was close to self-harming and wanting to end it all and I'm so glad I didn't. 2013 has been the best year of my life and I couldn't be more thankful.

Dear November,
I felt a mixture of feelings today - from nervousness, to anxiousness and even to relaxation. Also being filled with worry about things isn't great either, but at least I was productive today and got things done. Even if it wasn't all that I wanted to do.

Dear November,
TGIF. Literally. Today was filled with inspirational videos, college stresses and good prospects. I experiences enjoyment, and frustration from watching Glee for the first time after a long hiatus.
Not much else to say about today, apart from I possibly slightly regret staying up until 1am.

Dear November,
I seriously just want this week to end. I suddenly feel quite sad and I'm attempting to use Christmas songs to cheer me up.
I'm also sad at the fact I'm in such a reading slump and just haven't had the time to read.
I fully intend this weekend to just do all my work on one day, then do nothing and just watch films and tv shows in bed for the other day. I just feel kind of done with everything.

Dear November,
Luckily today has been pretty easy as Wednesdays usually are. I did do some productive things with my mostly free day along with a decent amount of procrastination and potentially wasting my time on watching terrible TV shows.
But it's never great when you become prepared for something and then that thing is cancelled, like today. Also it isn't great when it's a certain time you should be going to bed, (like right now) but you aren't tired at all. Additionally it isn't great when you can't access the site, in which to find out what is happening with my academic future.
Right now, I just want this week to be over really.

Dear November,
Tiredness has creeped back into my day. But I've been productive at least at some points with little stresses during my day. As well as the end of my day being filled with exciting prospects for next year despite the horrible weather.

Dear November,
I am so very tired already. Starting back at college again was rather painful to say the least and being by yourself with no work during free time isn't the greatest either. As well as not even remembering work that was set and having to write an essay the night before. Along with doing so many other things that I forgot to do that are needed for tomorrow, I know I'll feel better once I do them.

Dear November,
It's always good to get a good rest. But then to have a very slow start to the day isn't always good. I gained happiness today from watching livestreams of events but the rest of the day was rather timid and uninteresting. Hurriedly completing tasks for college almost last minute isn't always great, but what else was I supposed to do?
Back at college tomorrow and I'm not really looking forward to it to be entirely honest. Lets see how it goes.

Dear November,
Today was a day filled with prospects and excitement. Viewing places that I could potentially be studying at for the next three years. As well as my day being filled with tiredness from an early wake-up call to travel to Leeds and then traipsing around the city centre in the rain to get back home.
A few times today I was on the verge of crying. And a few times today I was just kind of tired with life as well as unexpected different things happened. I hope tomorrow will be better.

I was thinking of trying to do NaNoWriMo this year, but I'm so busy with college work so that would be pretty impossible. Instead I have taken inspiration from emilieofnewgloom's video project that she did in July, where she basically wrote a letter to each day about how she's feeling. You can watch them here and I thought this would be good to do in November instead of NaNo because I'm still writing something and it's not as intimidating as 50,000 words.

Dear November,
You have started whilst I was having a break from the constant regime of going to college and coming home again, but soon I will have to start that regime again for another good six weeks.
October was a funny month, there were exciting prospects of university open days and actually applying to university and a party celebrating my friend's 'coming of age'.
I remember being sad for the most part of October though, due to my lack of money and the frustrations of college work. I was mainly just waiting for the month to be ending. But I'm excited for what November will hopefully bring.
