My XBOX and an exercise ball are how I spend my days. OK, so I don't actually work out on the ball, but I do sit on it while playing the games so I feel accomplished.
This in conjunction with adjusting to my new surroundings, up keeping the flat, day-to-day hazards such as washing my bus pass with my clothes, and trying to finish off my thesis by the end of March have really held me back. There are some fun things to do here in Birmingham and I am sure my updates will become more frequent as I push forward.
