| Last dayyyy |
[Oct. 28th, 2009|02:48 pm] |
My last day working in my dads work. Hurrah! A few months ago I was dying for a job, any job, but now I couldn't be happier leaving. It's cemented the feeling that I NEVER want to do office/administrative work. Don't get me wrong... I'm glad I've been able to build up some savings since I've worked here which will (hopefully) tide me over christmas, but I know if I don't leave there now I'll end up in there forever, and It's not want I want to do. I can't be one of those people who spends years getting a degree just to waste it.
So as of next week I'm devoting myself full time to getting my career started. I'm sick of applying on s1 jobs because THEY'RE BAWS. Srsly. I must have sent at least 25 applications via S1 jobs and they just disappear off into cyber space. Completely useless. Whereas the people I took the time to write a detailed cover letter and send a CV via the post to are the people who actually replied to me. From now on it's personalised cover letters and CVs for all. Would be great if I got to work at bpi, but I know it's not exactly likely so I'm not pinning all my hopes on it.
I'm going to be a very busy bunny over the next few days preparing for the party. I thought I had sold it out, but I fucked up the tickets some how?? I was up to ticket number 95, Mcguigan had like 5 unsold and Ben had like 8 unsold and I recorded about 70 sold and paid for. So 70+8+5 doesn't make up to 95. Meaning some tickets got lost somewhere?? Idk. Quite alot of people are just paying in on the night since I haven't had the chance to see people to give them tickets.
If anyone who reads this wants to come just drop me a line somewhere and you can pay in on the night, it's all for a good cause! :)
Remember folks 7:30, Regent Club, 30th October, Prize for best dressed and a buffet! :)
Soooo excited!!! :D:D:D:D |

[Oct. 23rd, 2009|09:19 am] |
Ok so me and Ben finish work in Glasgow around the same time, and yesterday I was finishing about 5:30. He phoned me at 5:15 and told me he was at the bus station. So I asked him if he would wait another 15 minutes so we could get the bus home together. He said no and that he was too tired. Very good, too tired to wait 15 minutes to see me thanks alot Ben.
So I finish work at 5:30 and go to get the bus and lo and behold Benji is on it! So I go up to him and go
"Awwww darlin it was so sweet of you to wait for me so we could get the bus together!"
and he goes
"No the last bus just never came so I had to get this one"

This is one of the times it's ok to lie to your girlfriend. |

Remember how in my last entry I was bitching about how I hate my job and haven't been getting any interviews for my degree?
Well I got one!
For British Polythene in Port Glasgow.
For Tuesday the 10th of November.
When me and Ben are in London.
And it can't be reshedualed because the guy who does the interviews is only in town for that week.
:|
Some times I feel like God is laughing his big velvet robed ass off at me.
Of course I'm going for the interview. I would be a fool to turn it down. It would be the perfect job and I wouldn't have to move away. So now I have to go though all the hassle of rebooking my flights and hotel. The hotel shouldn't be an issue but the flights are with **groan** Ryanair. Commence the robbing.
On the brightside meeting Puggs after work to see K Smith :D:D:D SUPER EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
|
| As spurred on by Taylor |
[Oct. 9th, 2009|12:54 pm] |
I'm SO glad I never bought a ticket for Newton Faulkner btw because on Monday me and Puggs are going to see Kevin Smith a.k.a Silent Bob! Shelled out a shit load for those tickets but I have faith it's going to be a good night. Have both his stand up dvds and they're so funny! The next few weeks are going to be absolutely insanely busy. Kicking off the party season (I haven't heard the phrase Rocktober used yet ;) )We have Kevin Smith, then on Tuesday I have this big careers fair in the SECC. Hopefully someone will want to hire little ole me right folks? :) Then Friday is Alexisonfire followed by Glasgow night out on Sat (will be deed by sunday!!) Then I have the Halloween party on the 30th, Paulas engagement on the 6th Nov, Kats birthday night on the 7th Nov and then me and Ben go to London on the 9th Nov. Woooot.
Ticket sales are going swimmingly largely thanks to McGuigans excellent (and pushy) salesman ship. All in all think I've sold about half?? Something like that. So if you read this and want a ticket let me know a.s.a.p so I can keep one by for you! Fingers crossed the night will be a big success. Got my blonde wig 4 my costume :D:D:D
I've been so unsatisfied in my job, on the 1st Nov I finish and can go back to being an unemployed bum....probably not the best thing but I feel like if I stay here longer I'll get too comfortable and I'll stop me going for what I really want. My dad was telling me about all the people who have degrees in his work. Not shit degrees either but really good ones. Maths degrees, Journalism, biochemisty etc etc and I just CANNOT let myself become one of them. I really need to step things up and start sending more CVs. The longer I'm out of uni the harder it will be.
Apart from the shit job life is good. I have plenty of other things to look forward to no matter how silly they may be. Ben doing this PhD is starting to put a strain on things a bit tho :( I feel like we hardly see each other anymore, which is crazy because the last time I saw him was Tuesday and it feels like ages ago. We went to bed at like 10:30 because we were both exhausted. Going to the cinema with him tonight though so that'll be good :)
Hope everyone is doing well x |

| TICKETS FOR SALE!! |
[Sep. 26th, 2009|12:20 pm] |
Ok so as u may have heard I'm having a Halloween party.
I started selling my tickets last night in Slanj. But unfortunately there was a poor turnout at the gig and selling tickets b4 payday wasn't my best strategy! Lol. If you want a ticket for the party then just leave a msg here and I'll get a ticket to you :) We can make this a great night! See:

[Sep. 22nd, 2009|03:05 pm] |
I just found out today that I'm being taxed 300.00 off my wage slip because I'm on the wrong tax code. Apparently you need to fill out a P45 or the goverment fucks you over and takes about 25% of your wages.
Oh and the best part is they did it to me last month too but I never found out until today because they never gave me a wage slip last month.
Both my dad and my brother work with me and neither of them warned me about this. |

| Locked in |
[Sep. 11th, 2009|12:55 pm] |

Ben got locked in my house this morning. No one knew he stayed overnight so when everyone left to go to school work etc they locked the doors and locked him in. Lmao |

| Work |
[Sep. 1st, 2009|02:46 pm] |
Ah livejournal. The only social networking site I can get on during work. I've been working in my dads place as a "pensions administrator" now for just over a month. It's really pish, just sit filing most the time, still it's good to have money :) Getting the first pay cheque rocked. Good timing too as it came on Bens birthday.
For Benjis birthday, which was Thursday, we just spent the whole day together. I gave him his presents (dvds, flannel shirt, horror tee shirts etc) then we sat watched "Brain Dead" one of the DVD's I got him (So funny check it out btw) and just fannied about. The night consisted of a dinner at Morgans and then Harry Potter in the cinema followed by snugs and sleeps :)
Friday was much more interesting. Started the day at the Jade Palace because I woke up and felt like chinese for breakfast lol. I then had to ditch Ben so I could carry out the secret part of his birthday plan!! A very "special" birthday cake. Met up with Gombo my partner in crime and we went to go get the secret ingredient :) Lindsay very kindly let us use her kitchen for the baking, as for obvious reasons we couldn't do it in our own houses lol. At first I thought the cake was going to be a disaster. After adding every ingredient Gormley would say "Add a bit more....more....wee bit more" until I had to shout at him to stop. The funniest was the green food colouring.
"Ok now add two or three drops"
Gormley tips half the bottle in and the mixture goes bright green.
"FUUUUUUUUUCK"
Aside from a few mishaps the cake turned out beautifully! It had peppermint middle and vanilla buttercream ontop :) Benjo turned up just as it was hot and coming out the oven and everyone except me had a bit (thank god! you'll see why later) Infact Benjo and Gormley had two bits! Greedy bastards. It worked very well!
Me and Benji went to mine for a bit then we picked up Gombo again and drove to Kevs gig in the soundhaus. It was a big deal for me because it was the first time I had ever drove up to Glasgow! I literally drove past Linwood and I was like
"OMG this is officially the furthest I have ever drove!!"
and then I got pulled over by the police :|
Apparently I was "weaving" and they thought I was a drunk driver. Go Ruths awesome driving skills. So I was taken into the back of a police car, quizzed if I had anything to drink and given a breathalyzer test :|:|:| Fuckin typical. Why does stuff like this always happen to me?!? The only thing I can say is thank fuck they never searched Gormley or Ben or we would have all been in a whole lot of trouble!! That really shook me, but I made it to Glasgow in one piece. THEN mister Ben "yes I know exactly where the Soundhaus is" Fleming got us lost. Needless to say he did not know where the Soundhaus was. Sick of driving I just parked in the city centre and we found our way by walking there. The venue was awesome. Much cooler than I thought it would be. The whole place was obviously catered for pill heads and pretty much everyone in that place was off their face. If you ever wanna take drugs and not be judged. Go to the Soundhaus. By the time I got there I wasn't really up for dancin so I just sat talkin to wee Dunnin and Corky the whole night. Corky is one entertaining drunk. The only photo I got all night was when Corky found a ping pong paddle in the middle of the road and started playing with it. Lmao. Dropped the guys off but never got home till super late.
Me and Ben slept until like 1 on Sat. He left and then I was just being a lazy bastard and went on the internet for about 3 hours spending my hard earned cash :) After 2 nights out I wasn't up for Red so just headed to Loftys house for some intense GTA and some movies. Watched "Cry Wolf" "The Octopus 2" and "Pathology."
The Octopus 2 was terrible. It was about 50% stock footage. There was a part were it pans underneath NY harbor so you can see the water and the footage was obviously taken from Planet Earth or somethin. I'm pretty sure NY harbour doesn't have exotic sea flowers and white sands under it. Lmao.
Pathology was actually pretty good. Very gory. :)
Again picked up a drunken Ben from Lyndseys and took him back to mines for snugs :)
Monday was back to work after 5 days off which really sucked. After work watched Saw V (again) with Helen. And all the special features. It's nice to have someone who appriciates Saw as much as me.
After work meeting Marianne to see The Final Destination in 3D. It will be shit obv but the 3D makes it amazing. I loved My Bloody Valentine and I'm fully aware that was terrible!
Wednesday night is dinner with the family for ma wee Aaron turning 18
Thursday night is pub with the guys for ma wee McGuigan turnin 22.
Friday night is the all important yaG gig in Slanj which I reckon will be a most memorable night. I'll have my dancin shoes on (And my singing....voice) so good times shall be had all round. Paula B has invited us to the conservatory of uber boozyness, do I dare go after the state of me 2 Fridays ago. (Were I did not only fall over but fell ONTOP of Taylor) We'll see. Hope to see you all there.
Hurray for timewasting.
Peace x |

| Kickass weekend |
[Jul. 21st, 2009|11:23 pm] |
There are lots of birthdays in July aren't there? I believe Liz's headed off the start of them (altho I apologize if I'm wrong)
Friday started off with my auntie Maris 50th birthday in Priyas Palace. She arrived thinking it would just be like 4 people there when actually my whole family on that side turned up (well almost :() There must have been more than 20 people there!! It was insane. I got to talk to alot of relatives I haven't seen in ages, like my cousins and uncles and stuff. It was funny because the table was giant so you couldn't talk when you were all sitting eating, but then after a course half the people would get up and go for a fag and everyone would switch seats and sit next to someone new.
After the dinner me and Michael went to the Jimmy and against my better judgement I ended up in Red haha. It was actually a really good night, good choons, but I kinda fucked my ankle.
( Red )
So that was Friday. I got home kinda early cause I wasn't drunk. Plus didn't wanna tire myself out for Satuday. The biggy. Liz's birthday night out in Word up. Night started in my house to give Liz her pressies, then it was off to Cleats to meet the guys for a few drinks followed by a very entertaining train ride and Word up.
Liz wearing some of her presents!!
( Lizs birthday night out )
Got considerably more drunk on Saturday than Friday. Had to end the night earlier than I wanted tho which sucked because I started feeling really sick. Like I might barf sick. The taxi driver was very concerned I might blow chunks in his taxi.
This weekend looks to be equally as exciting. After skipping a year for her 21st, this year we will once again be spending Stefs birthday in Inverkip woods. Checked the weather and it's SUPPOSE to be sunny. But as with every year it will inevitably rain. Hahaha. If your not there then you have aids.
Catch yeez. |

| Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince |
[Jul. 16th, 2009|10:03 pm] |
Just back from seeing it with Miss B and my wee sis and it was amaaaaaaaazing. I liked it much better than the last one. So many awesome wee moments. That girl who was obsessed with Ron had me in stitches, as did Luna Lovegood. I loved her giant Griffindor lion head hat!! Hahaha.
Also more Draco Malfoy in this one which was a major plus! He was totally under used in some of the last films but he really got his moment in this one. The only thing that pure annoyed me is how they missed out the giant fight scene in the end when the death eaters enter the castle. They just trashed the place a bit and then left. Wtf? I guess they're saving the big Hogwarts fight for the last film.
Thanks for reading my geekout! Peace x |

| Graduation weekend |
[Jul. 13th, 2009|03:44 pm] |
This weekend has been so eventful. One of the best in ages. So good it even inspired me to update for the first time in donks!
Friday was me and Bens graduation. A stressful morning to start. Had to pick up our gowns and then I made a mad dash to Greggs with my mum to get food for us because we were both starving! Pure dashed across George Sq with no shoes on! Went into the Barony church and was pleasantly surprised to find myself sitting next to Ben. I assumed we would be seated alphabetically but it was in order of degree. He was the only chemistry Hons student with a 2:1 and I was the highest with a 2:2. How weird is that?!? So he got called up first directly followed by yours truely :)
After the ceremony there were 2 receptions to go to. We got to see our classmates and lecturers and stuff. It was awesome. Headed home for a kip for a few hours and then my family and Bens family met up for dinner at Morgans. Was really nice to get everyone together!
( Graduation )
After Friday came the crazy partyness of Saturday. I don't know about the rest of you guys but I totally wasn't prepared for that! A crazy amount of people turned up, the place was jumpin! Who the hell brought those cigars aswell? That matrix fight between William and Lofty actually had me in stitches. Also Jonny, Puggs and Davy in the hulahoop hahahaha. Hulahoop rape man. Also Jonny pure making fun of the way I said "Auuucid" Even I had to laugh. There was plenty of singing, drinking and general trashing of the place. Also I'm pretty sure all my pictures were taken b4 midnight b4 Harribo etc arrived. It totally doesn't show the full scale wreckageness!
None the less.
( McGuigans flat leaving party )
All in all a fantastic night. Was pretty hungover on Sunday. Tesco vodka will do that to you. But we still managed to get a big crowd to the cinema (14 strong!) to go see Bruno!
O.MA.GAWD
I was actually gutting myself laughing. I knew it was going to be funny but there were bits when I was actually almost in tears.
To terrorist: Your King Osama basically looks like a dirty wizard or a homeless santa.
You just have to see it (Not recommended for homophobics!) also go see "The Hangover." I went to see that with Puggs last week and totally loved that too! 2 awesome comedys. Both so funny in their own ways!!
Next up on the cinema list is of course "Harry Potter and the half Blood Prince." We're celebrating the release by having a Harry Potter day tomorrow (ahhh maturity) then theres Lizs birthday celebration on Sat followed by Stefs camping the next week.
Catch yez later xx |

| The results |
[Jun. 4th, 2009|10:52 pm] |
Theres never been a day quite like today. The day were we find out if it was all worth it. I didn't post about it on lj before hand because I didn't want to remind people that it was coming up. The more people that knew about it the more people I would have to disappoint if I failed.
9 oclock we had to be up in Glasgow to see if we had oral exams. My worst nightmare. Sitting being grilled on everything you know about chemistry. Luckily me and Ben never had oral exams so that left us a whooping 7 hours to kill until our results were released at 4pm. We went for breakfast and then went to the cinema at 10am. Lol weird. You would think no one would be there but there was like a queue of middle aged men lining up outside. Haha. Went to see Terminator Salvation. It wasn't that good. Relied more on special effects than a good story to carry it through. Christian Bale did his "batman" voice the whole way through the film aswell. It got old fast.
After that was shopping and more eating. Then it came.
It was so weird. The whole day flew in. It's like when you don't want something to come it comes super fast. Well I didn't want to see my results. I was sure I had failed. Imagined it 100 times over in my head opening my letter to reveal "fail" and then thinking about how to break the news to everyone. Horrible. The last 20 minutes dragged horribly. We were waiting in the TG foyer to collect our letters. I wouldn't open mine in the Foyer with everyone standing there. I made Ben go up to a classroom so we could open ours in private so my classmates wouldn't witness me if I had a mental breakdown. I can't explain how horrible the feeling was. I could feel the bile in my throat ready to pop up and my stomach was doing flipflops.
Moment of truth. I opened my letter
and was ecstatic
I got a 2-2 :D:D:D
Everyone seems to think you have to get a 2-1 in your degree (which is what Ben got incase your wondering) but I was so happy I almost started crying. I was so sure I had failed. Most people know me and know I'm not one of these "I've failed, i've failed" people who secretly know they've done well. I genuinely thought I had fucked up because I done so badly in my organic exam. And I thought if I did pass it would have been a scrape on a 3rd. I was so happy because I think a 2-2 was actually the best I was capable of. And thats what I got =)
Me and Ben just stood in our private room just hugging each other because we were both so happy with our results. Both of us just grinning like maniacs. It doesn't bother me in the slightest he done better than me - because in the end we both worked our asses off and got the marks we deserved - he's just cleverer than me and I've always known that =)
Then I got the fine job of texting all my girls and my mum and dad to let them know I hadn't fucked up after all. All that worrying for nothing! Telling mum and dad was the best because really most of this was about wanting to make them proud of me. Mum got me flowers and we all went to Cathay Royale for dinner to celebrate. Since I've got home I've just been sitting playing the Sims 3 :D
Tomorrow will be my night for celebrations so everyone must come out and be merry!
Oh and now i'm going to have to go last minute dress shopping because my grad ball is on Tuesday and I didn't want to buy a dress and then have to return it if I failed. So now I have nothing to wear. Ha!
Peace love and happiness to all! |

[May. 23rd, 2009|04:02 pm] |
I've been meaning to update for ages, but I knew it was gonnna be a pureeeeeeee long entry and I was like "canny bee fuked" lol.
So first things first. That's them finished. Over. Done. No more exams. How did it go overall? Well I've got to be honest with myself and admit overall it went pretty terribly. I know thats not what people want to read. They want to read "oh it went ok" blah blah "I think I've passed" etc. Well you don't get to read that!!!
It's so strange. They're my final exams, doesn't get any harder than this kinda stuff. But still myself and Ben were actually totally blown away by how hard they actually were. They girls remember how badly the first one went. Well the second went even worse! I think I've told everyone on earth about this but I ended up answering a question about how tin effects the environment. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TIN!!
Actually I know one thing:
You paint tertbutyltin on the bottom of boats to stop barnacles attaching. There. 20 marks :|
Hahaha.
The 3rd one went the best surprisingly. And the 4th again really really bad. Sigh. By the time the 4th one was finished tho we didn't care. Firstly we went to the union with our uni bud Zoe and played some pool while Ben frightened her with stories or crazy mushroom and acid taking. Zoe has never even smoked a cigarette before and Ben was totally oblivious to my "stop talking eyes" so hopefully she doesn't think we're like crazed heroin users now or something. Lol. After the union Chris and Bowes picked us up and gave us a life back down to Greenock were we started our crazy drinking session in the Jimmy. I was super happy at the load of people that turned up and I think it's safe to say everyone looked like they were having fun! And yes, the legends are true. I DID TAKE A SHOT OF WRAY NEPHEWS!! Bleh. It tasted like fire. I don't recommend it. Quite alot of us headed to text for dancing and more wreckage. They had shit loads of awesome tunes with Lady Gaga, La roux, Bon Jovi and Queen. Loved it. We were the only people dancing the whole night and we didn't care! The best part of the night was defo when Mcguigan stopped dancing, pointed at the giant screen and shouted:
"OH MY GOD IT'S ELOUISE HAWKING!!"
All of us just started like screaming and shit. Lmao. That was the best night I've had of the year so far guys! Lets have plenty more like that! :)
Tuesday I woke up with the most bizarre feeling. I had nothing to do. For the first time in months I had nothing planned and nothing to do. I starting doing something that I had been putting off for ages. I cleaned my room. Like PROPER cleaned it tho. I tore out every nook and cranny. It was crazy the stuff I found. I found a ticket that was from a Victorian Suite gig.
It was January 2005, Redemption, Carnage, Catharsis.
For those of you who don't know Catharsis is Bens old band. I went and saw him play before we even met! :) Isn't it funny the way things work out?? I also found lots of old birthday cards from my 18th birthday. So long ago now. And a whole bunch of other stuff that would make you go "wow!" Paula and Stef: I found the blue book with the boy on the front of it :)
So that was Tuesday. Wednesday Ben came up and we played video games most the day. I started Resident Evil 5! It's fucking awesome. Sheva keeps taking all the herbs tho. Bitch. Then at night met Mcguigan and a few of the guys for a spot of pool. I'm extremely ashamed to say Russel bet me at pool in what can only be classed as the most pathetic game of the century.
Thursday was me and Bens date date. This is pretty lame but in this months Glamour both me and Bens horoscopes said do something romantic on the 21st. So thats what we arranged. I got in the marks and sparks 2 meals for a tenner (great deal btw) and made it for him. Then we went to the cinema to see Coraline. Taylor wasn't half fucking kidding when she said it was scary for a kids film. The "other mother" is horrible! Lol. I totally loved it tho. It was really nicely done.
Friday, firstly took Trixie to the vet with Stef (were we evidently left without paying lol) and then headed to Mcguigans house and watched
1)Resident Evil
2)Poltergist
3)Face Off
We had an extended "Lost" discussion were Mguigs informed me Dr Chang is Shredder in the 2nd turtles (OMAGAWD) movie as well as various other crazy lost trivia. I also tried to convince him to take "Lord of War" off the bottom shelf as he tried to say it's a terrible film!!! Back me up here guys!
Got a bit pished and didn't get home till like 2:30 lol.
And that brings me to today. Usually I work Saturdays, but mostly everyone knows about the situation in TSC by now. Got a phone call yesterday saying the call center isn't opened on Saturdays now so I had to pick another day to work instead. Yay. I hate working there but I really did need the money :( Was saying to they guys aswell on Monday night I found an offical "Lionsgate" prop/ costume seller on ebay. They sold hunners of cool Repo and Saw shit.
Someone wanna loan me $7,499.99 so I can buy the Repo mans coat? No? What about $3,944.95 so I can buy Blind Mags bloody train?? Pretty please? Seriously tho not having a job is going to suck :(
Hope everyone is going to my boys gig in the Twisted Wheel on Tuesday. See you guys then :)

[May. 6th, 2009|11:35 am] |
All the "non exam" people must hate me. I feel like it's all I ever talk about. Moan moan moan constantly. Well it's because I'm fucking scared ok!! First exam is at 2 o clock today and I'm currently in the uni library trying to get some last minute cramming in. I've studied so hard but I just get the feeling I'll get stuck with a shitload of pish questions I can't answer. I feel incredibly anxious. Arrrrghh!! Fuck!
I feel like I'm at the point were I've just read over everything so much it's sickening me. It's like Ben said. Someone gives you a massive chocolate cake and you eat it until your full. But then you just have to keep eating more and more even though your fit to bursting and sick and you can't fit anymore in!! Thats how my brain feels =(
I hate this. I miss my friends. I miss seeing people. I miss being lazy. I miss going out and gettiung drunk!!
Wish me luck!! |

| Turning 22 |
[Apr. 29th, 2009|09:21 pm] |
It's official guys. Turning 22 is shit. You know what I done yesterday?? Studied. Well thats a lie I didn't study all day. Got my presents off aunts and uncles (which I must say I kinda feel quite guilty about) I'm 22, without question in my adult years now - should I really still be getting presents off them?? I feel like a sponger. Lol. I had a breakdown of sorts at about 2pm because I was sick of studying and nothing seemed to be going in anymore which resulted in (just a tiny tiny bit) of crying. I think it's ok to let it out once and a while or else it just builds up gets too much to handle. The day brightened up considerably when Ben arrived to give me my presents =) My favorite of which is possibly the most gorgeous bag in existance from one of my favorite online artists Callow Lily.
Check her deviant art out
http://callowlily.deviantart.com/gallery/
Love it. I will be whoring the bag considerably from now on. <3
I also got lots of awesome dvds including Juno and In Bruges from my brothers and from Ben the Tony Jaa box set, Waltz with Bashir (the film we saw on our anniversary) Gone in 60 seconds (Angelina Jolie would get rode) and.....CONAIR!!!!!!!!!!!! YASSSSSSSSSSSS IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!! Lol. Also we worked though some of the problems I was stuck at and he helped me out alot. So now I feel much better. One of the perks of having a genius boyfriend =)
At dinner we went to Caravellas again. This place doesn't get enough cred btw. It's totally awesome. The food there is maaaaaaavolous and it's a family run place so you don't feel like your feeding the corperate machine. Also it's not extortionate, price wise it's probably on par with Morgans and well worth the money. I highly recommend it =)
My first exam is a week today. As I was saying to Taylor, they get steadily worse as we go along (As in my first one is the best, 2nd one 2nd best and my last two are the worst) I feel like all I do is come on here and moan about exams. But what else do I have to talk about?!! There's nothing else going on in my boring life!! Lol.
Party when exams are done?? Hell yeah!
(P.S- You may have noticed on my list of dvds I never got the Saw films I wanted. Well Helen said she ordered them online and is waiting for them to come. As she said "Well it's not like I could just go into a shop and buy them!" Lol. Clever kid.) |

Took SAAS almost a month to sort out, but after a no nonsense phone call last Wednesday here I am 700.00 richer. Yas. Life is good. I'm going to be good and resist the urge to spend it all in one go tho. I don't think that will be a problem as I've been house bound for the past few days studying (But then again theres always online :-s) Le sigh. On the bright side it seems to be going slightly better. Lots of tutorials lined up next week starting tomorrow, so those should be incredibly helpful (hopefully). "The Fear" and I seem to be getting along well recently. Not freaking out as much. Give it a few days and it'll be back tho. Ben has been working really hard too which I'm super happy about. I think he'll do really well. He could even get a 1st I think. I may not do as well as him but I'll do as well as I'm capable of and thats more than enough for me.
Exams start 2 weeks tomorrow and my birthday is a week today. I think I can safely say turning 22 will quite unadventurous. No wild parties and caravan trips planned this year =( Just dinner with the family at Caravellos which should be nice. I'd trade a mad party for good exam results anyway so can't really complain. (Although just because I'm not doing anything doesn't mean you don't get away with not buying me a present!!)
Asked my mum and dad for Saw IV, Saw V and Twilight on dvd for my birthday.
......Yes seriously.
Lol. Catch yeez. |
