New Things...
New term started today. Its my very last term at University (unless i do a postgrad, but thats different). Its gone so quickly, and there's so little of it left. I suppose when i graduate, then i'm supposed to be a proper adult. I don't reckon i'll ever be like that.
Once again i'm pretty unhappy about my financial position. I mean i've spent vitually nothing since Christmas and paid most of my present money into the bank, but i'm still as overdrawn as ever. I seem to have reached some sort of sticking point. Its getting me down at the moment because i have 4 birthdays and Mother's Day coming up. Two of which are Ali and K, so i really want to get them somehing nice. It would be a bit easier if the bills for this quarter had arrived, then i would have some idea as to what i really have available to spend. Ho hum...
I bought myself some nice stationery the other day. It was sort of a compromise in that i needed stationery for the new term, but couldn't afford to buy that AND a present for myself, so bought particularly nice stationery instead. Now i even feel bit guilty about that because i should have kept it to buy people's birthday presents.
I'm not even going to start about the price of textbooks, because i'm sure its something that we're all well aware of!
My timetable isn't too bad this term. Only one really long day at uni. Its good to have enough free time to organise my study the way i want and add in all my other committments. I may have enough time in the first few weeks of term to make some new LRP kit too, which would be nice.
I have to go to the bar where the roleplayers meet tonight. I need to return a book to DW. I feel a bit nervous, because there are a load of people that i haven't seen in ages there, and i'm worried about how they will react to me. I dunno why i get so uncomfortable around them, i guess its just because they make you feel like they're judging you. I'm not too confident around people i don't know too well, so i get a bit paranoid. I hope tonight goes ok. I'm going to try and be brave and maybe go and talk to the people that i usually perceive as ignoring me or snubbing me and see what reaction i get. You never know unless you try. They may have thought i was ignoring them.
Be prepared for me not to feel too brave though.
