Suspenseful waiting

so its the build-up to my birthday and Eurotrip..
exciting stuff...
and it seems like the fun has already begun with my trip in Newcastle which was surreal but absolutely fantastic! XD
all this excitement has rendered me useless in terms of dissertation work..
not good....
i can only imagine what i'll be like by the end of the eurotrip... hopelessly idle as exhaustion sets in and the buzz fades
with only a weekend to recover and the prospect of two months of really hard work to keep me going...
bleh.. lol
i keep telling myself it'll be worth it...
It better be
