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.

Letters To November // 25 & 26
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.

Letters To November // 10
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.
