Disney tomorrow!

Well I've had the busiest past few days, I'm much better now thank goodness! I was up early yesterday to go to the orthodontist then from there the doctors and then a day of revision. Today I was up early yet again for a meeting with my head of college, nothing bad-all good. It was basically to congratulate me on my report as it was very good, and to say well done on achieving my good grades.
Anyway after a very interesting and strange english lesson on Angela Carter's 'The Bloody Chamber' discussing one of the short stories 'The Snow Child', I have not stopped rushing around. I went into town to exchange a christmas present, from there to Halfords, to buy headlamp beam adapters for the car (it is compulsary to have them when driving in France, to stop the other car on the other side of the road getting completely blinded), and then back home again to clean the car out. I still have to pack, but that shouldn't take too long as we're going for five nights only, however time is ticking away.
I am really craving a nice big mug of hot chocolate now anyway so I shall be blogging away as soon as I get back, and no doubt it will all be about my adventure in Disneyland Paris!

Snow is falling, all around me...

It really is beautiful outside, my courtyard is covered in a blanket of crisp snow, it's a shame I can't go outside to appreciate it. I've been cooped up in bed all week with sinusitis (infected sinuses), I feel awful and with Disney being two weeks today I really hope it clears up before then as I've got so much to get ready.
I'm on antibiotics so hopefully I will be feeling much better soon.
I cannot believe it's the first of December, It has come around so quick, and I haven't even got an advent calender yet! For some reason I don't feel that rush of excitement I normally feel when December comes around. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I feel like death, and nothing seems to make me feel better.
I'm supposed to be playing hockey this weekend but with this weather I'm sure it will be cancelled, and even if it isn't i'm certainly in no fit state to play. Plus hockey training has been cancelled the past two weeks due to the pitch being frozen. So it would be madness to play in this weather!
I hope it snows on Christmas day, that would be perfect, to just get up and see snow all outisde. I have this gorgeous vision of a wonderful Christmas day-  waking up to see snow falling, having the traditional family Christmas breakfast, and sitting inside the living room all cosy by the fire with a mug of hot chocolate while exchanging  presents. Every Christmas is wonderful, but with the exception of no snow, it seems to snow on any day but Christmas, I can't remember last time it did.
Hopefully, fingers crossed my vision of Christmas will come true, but for now I am going to retire to bed and dream lots of dreams!
