Bit of an emo entry here
No photos for this entry, I'm afraid. This week hasn't been too exciting so this'll probably be a shit read.

Flathunting's going well but kinda ground to a halt. Last Friday Laura and I viewed two and fell in love with the second one... BUT on Saturday we tranferred our affections to a smaller one on the same street. All the good qualities (mezzanine bedroom!) but cheaper and WAY more practical in terms of storage. We've been chasing it up but it's making us really anxious, it's offers over so it's all a bit vague. And we're ACTUALLY in love with it. Even swatching the paper for property nowt seems to live up to the one we saw. <3

Uhh... Tuesday night I worked 6-10 in the shop then 10.45-close in the club, cos there was some NME afterparty thing on. Music was good but it was so quiet the time pure dragged. Afterwards there was a fair few of us up for partying (on a Wednesday morning :|) so we went on a bit of a mission in the car, then hit Stevie's, then onto Trish's. Ended up getting soaked with Cherry Lambrini and Buckfast, nice... headed home about 2 cos it seemed the sensible option. Managed to keep my eyes open til 6pm then conked out for about 16 hours. Just in time for uni, the joys.

I've not been loving uni lately. My mum and dad have been on my back a lot about attendance but that's not really the problem, I've just been finding it really hard to care about the topics we're doing. The English Lit lectures are usually fairly interesting, but I've not been liking the actual texts, and F&TV this term isn't half as fun as it was last time. Yesterday I got my Twin Peaks essay back, got a B3 for it. Not a bad mark but I think the 40/60 means my mark'll average at about C1... which won't let me into Honours. Gonna email my tutor to see if I can appeal or whatever, cos it's really only a *fraction* more I need. Bit disheartening though. There's no question of me jacking in uni, but I'm surprised that I actually PREFER working now. :|

Thursday night I was meant to be hitting the artschool with the lovely Lana, but one of the girls needed her shift covered and I was feeling too delicate for partying. Ended up getting an early anyway (Y) Last night in work was pretty hardcore (full capacity, 9 staff on) but good fun regardless. Not working at all the rest of the weekend, kinda wish I was. Staying in on my first Saturday night off in yonks seems pretty sad, but I can't really be fucked facing the mobs you'd get in town. Also should probably be saving my johnny (cash) if we're moving out soon. Mmm, dunno yet. I know if I stay in tonight I'll just be SOOOOO bored.

I seem to bore really easily these days, I'm not sure if it's a function of breaking up with Danny (the King of Laziness) or what, but I can't lie in my bed and watch 4 straight episodes of old Family Guy like I used to. In some respects I'm really happy at the way stuff's been going lately, but I still get the feeling I'm just killing time til some unknown big important thing happens. Guess it's just the typical "reassess your life" thing you get when you're single for the first time in ages... or maybe I'm just annoyed at the fact the "ideal weight" I was so desperate to reach just makes me look ropey. At present I've just been amusing myself by developing crushes on inappropriate boys then getting annoyed at myself for being too shy to hit on them. (I think I've had ONE kiss since breaking up with Danny, and no sex whatsoever. That's like... 6-8 weeks? The crazy thing is that I don't even miss that stuff.) I probably need some sorta REAL hobby. Guess I should get back into the exercise again.

Speaking of which, I'm not sure how the weight's going. Haven't really been weighing myself cos I'm expecting major gains. Scales have been dancing between 8stone 7lbs and 8stone 12lbs the last few times I checked. I noted some mysterious worried comment on here, which I'm assuming was a joke...? Even at my absolute lightest I'm not even close to being underweight. I managed to tan a 9-pack of Penguins in the space of a day as well, so it'll all come piling back on soon.

I know what you mean.

I hate when you get down to what you wanted to get down to, then you don't even look as great as you think you do.

I know what you mean about the 'waiting' thing as well. Sometimes I feel like I'm just killing time, but I don't know what 'till...

Thanks for that, I'm glad I'm not the only one. Usually with the weight thing it's cos I don't look as slim as I thought I would at x-weight, but now I kinda feel I DO look as slim as I thought I would, but it just looks shite. I don't think there'll ever be a happy medium.

Was feeling really morose about the killing time thing til I whacked on The Good Girl... most depressing movie ever, but at least it makes you realise how much better your own life is!

xx

Are you actually buying property? Are you gonna get a student mortgage?x

Yeah, I think my sister and I are gonna buy a place together with our rents as guarantor. And aye, it's a student mortgage we're going for, there's no way we'd qualify for a normal one! It's looking like we'd pay the same per month for a mortgage as we would for rent, so it makes good sense. xx

6-8 weeks? Try 4 months doll! Have you though about English Lit as a single Honours option? xxx

Oh dear! It's totally overrated anyway. The way it's panning out I'll be hitting 4 months too, the thought of taking my clothes off in front of someone new really scares me now.

And yeah, I did think of that and probably could do it... I'm just keen on doing F&TV as well. Thankfully I emailed my tutor and she explained that if I get an overall B2 this term I'm guaranteed an Honours place, and that even if I don't there's a chance I'd still get in. Fingers crossed. (Y) xxx
