imperial war museum

So, as I mentioned, I had a(n unsuccessful) job interview in London last week, and as soon as I arrived at the group interview I had a feeling that I wouldn't get it which means that I'm less bummed about it. And like I said, I ended up having a lovely day in London, so all is well. Apart from the fact that I still need a job.

The interview was for the Imperial War Museum, which meant that obviously I had to check it out afterwards. And it was great. Seeing things like the last of the Dunkirk boats or one of the Enigma machines is just really cool. Especially as that's pretty much what I've been studying for the past few years. I find the letters from children to their parents with their P.S.'s of not being hit by a bomb/gassed/air gunned hilarious. In a brutal kind of way, but hilarious nonetheless. I didn't take any photos of it, but the holocaust exhibition was really interesting as well. All of it was really interesting actually. What can I say, I love a bit of history..

117 Packing for London.

118 I had a job interview in London, from which I should hear from by tomorrow (I don't have high hopes, haha). But anyway, it was a pretty day in London and I had a lovely time checking out a few of the museums. I will actually try and get to posting about them as soon as I can decide which photos I like the best. I actually have so much to post about!

119 Although London was lovely, I was happy to get back home too. Especially after a full day of walking around and two nights of no/very little sleep.

120 A well balanced day of Angel and uni things. Or a day of Angel and desperately trying to fit in some work in between.. (What a great photo, too.)

121 I always find it exciting to start a new month and get a new picture to look at, haha:--D Cannot believe it's May already, though. Time's going almost too fast at the moment.

122 A day in bed with loads of films.

123 Second day in bed with loads of films and chocolate. I lead such an interesting life.. But the travelling at the start of the week maybe justified staying in bed for a few days at the end of it. That is what I'm telling myself. Not that I need any justification to stay in bed at any time..

you're such a beautiful mess tonight

 Dress - Vero Moda

Cardi - Grandma's old

Leather jacket - Auntie's old

Socks - Primark

Shoes - New look

Necklace - Gift

Earrings - Seppälä

AH, it feels like it's been a small forever since I actually took these photos. This was the day I decided it was leather jacket and no-tights weather, and since then it's even been no-jacket weather at times. All of that makes me excited for summer that is almost here. Not that I have any plans, I don't even know where I'm going to live and what I'm going to do come July.. But I'm going to ignore all of that for a while, and instead enjoy my last few weeks at uni and, with the weather permitting, start wearing all my summery clothes with less tights and cardigans. Very exciting.

110 Excited that I can soon start to plait my hair properly, and in the meanwhile wee ones make me happy as well.

111 How cute is this Moomin  ball-thingy? I got a parcel from Finland which was the nicest thing, and obviously I got lots of Moomin things. This one had chocolates inside it and I think I'll start using it as a Christmas bauble from now on. So cute.

112 The parcel also had Moomin marmalade sweets! They are so good, I love the green ones that taste like apple.

113 It was very sad when the weather was lovely and I had to stay inside and do so much writing.

114 And this is what my life looked like most of the time. Pretty sure there's an actual dent in my bed where I've been sitting..

115 Cheese on toast has probably been the most advanced meal I've had in such a long time as I've genuinely felt like I have no time to cook (haha).

116 Praise the Lord, as I finally finished my dissertation on Saturday and was able to have a day off on Sunday. SO happy about that. Also, I'm thinking of bringing the middle parting back, even though I don't think my hair's quite long enough for it yet.

And I'll try and finally start answering to comments, commenting back and reading all of your lovely blogs soon! i feel like I am so left behind and I have missed this.

103 I actually left the house! But forgot to take my camera with me, ha..

104 I spent the day at the archives and had such a productive day. Kew is so pretty and it was the loveliest day in London. Although, I basically just sat inside all day, I quite enjoyed my Tuesday. (The fact that the archives' restaurant didn't have bagels this day was a bit of a let down, though.)

105 Birthday bbqs and surprise parties:-) 

106 I have this (Moomin) card that I got from my mum in first year that has little lights you can switch on and that changes colours. It's cute and I sometimes leave it on when I go to sleep.

107 Cadbury Creme Egg biscuits!

108 Pretty much my outfit of the day week life. I'm even thinking of upgrading this dressing gown into a kimono and wearing it outside.. Because if you say it's a kimono it's totally different and acceptable, right?

109 Looking at some wee treasures I've not worn in ages.

Can't believe it's already been a week, and I'm here again with my daily photos. After this week I'm looking forward to having less uni work for a while though, and getting back into blogging and other activities, like leaving my room. (Haha. Seriously, though.) So let's all look forward to that and hope that I finally get this dissertation finished!

Hope you've all had a lovely start to this week! Let me know if you've been doing anything fun or have nice plans for this week so I can live vicariously through you!

project 365: 096-102

096 My house is like a prison right now as I'm trying not to allow myself to leave it, haha. But as it was still Easter Monday, I didn't get much work done and instead continued watching TV and eating Easter eggs.. It felt good at the time, now I'm despairing with my dissertation.

097 The last of my Easter treats. The Moomin filled liquorice is my favourite thing (not filled with Moomins, but raspberry and blueberry). And the new popcorn chocolate was so good. Can I have some more, please?

098 Dissertation things. Cannot wait for this not to be a part of my life anymore.

099 How cute is my lil' Moomin pillowcase? :-)

100 I really wanted roast potatoes on Friday, so I made a mini-roast!

101 Brought this wee thing back on my wall. It's still very appropriate.

102 This is the only photo I have from Sunday, and I have dust in my hair. Who has dust in their hair? Apparently I do, and this isn't even the first time.. Is this a sign that I should move and go outside a little more often?

post-easter

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter! I was going to get up early on Easter morning to go to church, but the 5am alarm was quite quickly ignored.. But I had the loveliest few days eating all the eggs, chicken, chocolate and other food. As well as painting all my Mignon eggs and taking a break from studying. The break may have stretched itself to become a little longer than I meant it to be, but who can resist the powers of Netflix. I'm too weak for that, haha. Now it's a bit sad that there's no more chocolate and that I'll have to get back to my dissertation.
