Ah the joys of the posh and English in summer! Yesterday (summer) was fantastic, in the sense that it was good and slightly unreal. Went for breakfast with a group of friends as always, and a walk on the beach afterward, as sometimes happens on a nice day. Then, in the further interest of procrastination, had the most stereotypically Engish picnic ever in one of the guys' back yards: scones, cream, jam, tea, ginger beer, champagne. Then another long walk by a stream along some of the parks in St Andrews, complete with dicking around on the playground. After this I went home and had a nap (it's hard work!), ate dinner, and got a call to go on another walk with another friend. That was my Sunday: zero studying, zero worrying about studying, lots of outside time. It was awesome.

Revision now is really odd-I've had practically 2 weeks to prepare for 3 exams (7 hours), which has led to me being slack-tastic.

Is this what the British are referring to when they talk about "walking around?" Maybe Neruda was writing about you in his poem "Walking Around?" (it appears that the original title is in English with the verse in Spanish) Original poem in Spanish, English translation.
