Sunday Summary #56

1.Hot chocolate 2.New boots from the sales 3.Snowy 4.Bought myself a new phone

From the looks of Twitter and Instagram, it seems that just about everywhere in the UK has been covered in snow this week. There wasn't any snow here until Friday evening then it was quite heavy for a few hours, but most of it has melted away now, boo! 50% of people seem to hate the snow and the other 50% seem to love it - I would definitely put myself in the latter group. I think it helps that everywhere I need to be is within walking distance, if I had to drive or get the train anywhere I think it would be a different story! I was going to go out for a little walk yesterday and take some nice photos of the snow, but it was starting to look pretty slushy (and I also I didn't really want to get out of bed) so I didn't bother. I think it's meant to snow again tonight/tomorrow so might go tomorrow instead. Possibly. Or I might just stay at home and eat soup all day.

I've been thinking about buying a new phone for months, and finally gave in this week and ordered myself a Samsung Galaxy S3. I was trying to hold out until I was due for an upgrade in August, but my old phone was just too rubbish to deal with any more. I was a bit reluctant to shell out so much money for a phone, but I spent all of yesterday setting it up and testing it out and omgggg it's amazing. It loads everything so quickly and can do loads of things at once, plus the screen is so bright and sharp, and it takes really nice photos. Yeah, I basically love it. I've been downloading so many apps - mostly useful stuff but I also may have got The Sims Free Play and Nemo's Reef. Oops. Any suggestions of good apps I should download? And also any links to pretty phone covers?

It was my first week back at uni this week so I haven't really been up to much else, just getting back into the swing of things. I haven't got very many classes this semester as I'll mostly be concentrating on my internship and my dissertation. The dissertation's not due until the end of August, but I suppose I'll have to start doing the research for it pretty soon. I just started my internship at an archive this week and I'm going to be researching some material that's never been looked at before which is super exciting (well, it's probably not very exciting to you, but to me it is!).

Hope you've all had a great week, have you been off adventuring in the snow or staying tucked up indoors?
