Monday
Today, I read Book 7 of the Aeneid and summarised it here (I’ll keep updating that summary post until I finish the book!). I also did loads of workouts from my fitness app. I’ve been eating sugar free for a couple of weeks now!
Tilly had her theory driving test this evening and she passed! She gets her Oxford results tomorrow…
Tuesday
Tilly got an offer from Oxford!!!! She wants to study English Literature at Magdalen College. We’re so happy for her. I can’t wait to visit her! 😂 She won’t be going until October, of course. At Magdalen there are grand balls and formal dinners and a deer park 🤣
In the morning, I read and summarised another book of the Aeneid. We also started a Massolit course on it, but it was quite boring! I did my instruments, lots of exercising and ticking off in my bujo.
We had some of the afternoon off after we found out Tilly has an offer. I started rewatching Roman J. Israel, Esq., one of my favouritest films ever! It’s about a lawyer who’s played by Denzel Washington (who also happens to be my favouritest actor ever) – it’s a sort of courtroom drama movie, but it’s amazing. (I don’t care what the reviews say!) It’s also the only film in existence that has ever made me cry. OK, apart from Life of Pi!
Wednesday & Thursday
These days were pretty much the same! I read a book of the Aeneid in the morning, did my instruments and read some of Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s autobiography Infidel. In the evening, I watched Criminal Minds with my mum, Fringe with Andy, finished the one and only Roman J. Israel, Esq. and also started watching the Jeeves & Wooster with Fry and Laurie! I thought the books were way funnier but the duo’s acting was brilliant and it was still very good. Maybe the episodes will pick up the humour a bit in the future.
Friday
I started off this morning by reading Book 11 of the Aeneid. That means there’s only one book left which I’ll finish later! Then my mum and I went on a walk and found some new alleys!
Weekend
Healthy eating sort of went out the window this weekend! I’m hoping to get back onto it next week. (Writing this a few days later – Monday & Tuesday were a bit sugary too. The box of shame was ticked. 😑)
