This week has been really wonderful. It was Elliot's half-term, so we had lots of fun together. We had advetures in town, went to the Zoo, and visited the swimming pool with the amazing wave machine. Elliot has been so happy, and energetic, but now I think we both feel a little tired from all the fun!
Other than spending lovely time with my family, I have also been very productive. I am hoping I am one step closer to a career this week than I was last week, as I received good news from the research department I am in. I am feeling very positive, at the same time struggling with the immense pressure of performance and deliverance. I guess this is what is like when you really know what you want. I have never been able to lie to myself, so knowing what is closest to my heart has always been easy for me. It is a great thing really, but can also be torturous.
Me and my love had more space to focus on each other as well this week, and boy did we need it! There has been far too much negativity around us lately, but, I must admit, it is very ironic, the more some people may want to 'break us up' (or whatever the goal may be for all the continuous complaining), the closer we grow. My love shared a very beautiful poem with me last night. Perhaps, with his permission, I can share with you.
I wish I had more energy tonight to write more, but I feel very tired. Perhaps I can share some more words tomorrow. Although, proposals and essays due soon, and those are my one priority for typing on this laptop.
Buenos noches my friends.

So, stand tall.
If you close yourself, you are only closing yourself to a world that will go on without you.

Hi. I have not written now in a long, long time. And wow, look how the little boy has grown? And see those new wrinkles I got? Anyways, today was a good day. Me and boy went for adventure in central London. We got on the tube early-ish (I will post a picture of Elliot's super-smile from excitement about the 'TRAINS!', as he puts it...). We were both very happy to meet up with Daddy halfway there for some company on our journey in. We both like daddy very much :)! London Aquarium was the destination, and we both loved it, again. I mean, I am sorta lying because I do not think it is all that great. It is going there with Elliot that makes it fabolous! When we seen all the big nice 'hajar', we went to share some fries, which we ate as we strolled across the river.
It was a beautiful day today. Not sunny, but the light was amazing. Hazy, springlike, with slight hints of green and golden colour soming through. Spring is just so fantastic. Have always been my favourite season. I pay attention to the slightest changes all the way 'til summer (and, unfortunately, beyond too...). I make sure I smell all the flowers, feel the buds and leaves with my hands. I know, sound pretty freaky perhaps, but I simply appreciate this season immensely.
Life has been very busy since December. Many deadlines, and the Masters is a lot harder than I anticipated. I have almost certainly failed the one exam I had (on brain physiology). I do know I passed the advanced statistics, but that is all I have passed so far. I will find out about the rest soon... My biggest concern for the time being (except being the best partner and mom I possibly can) is my applications for a PhD. The pressure is high, and I have never quite felt as stressed as now. I am trying to stay positive! I really enjoy the learning, and the creative part of research and I deeply wish to be accepted somewhere soon. With funding ofcourse! Aaaah, to think I could have som money coming my way soon is... new :). I have been a student for far to long now! Having said that, I have not, not worked. I still am. All goes to my boy now, which is fine. I love that little sweetheart.
The top 3 in my life at this instant is:
1. The heartbeats of me and my lover.
2. Elliot's developing sense of humour.
3. Friendships.
For summer I am getting a pair of these.
Kid in bed. Mommy and daddy time <3.
Bye!
