Alright chaps?
It is now September and three weeks until I go back to univewrsity. Which is an undetermined thing as I have not yet recieved any confirmation of my financial status from the studemt loans company. I really do detest the student loans company. They're ridiculous. Why can they never give you a straight answer!? And why can they never understand your secret answer! I have a feeling that I'm only going to be temporarily enrolled, which worries me. I'm rather a good worrier so it just gives me something of substance to have concerns about for once! Other than that, I'm quitting my job as it's shit and am going to focus on trying to do better at university and help Mom and Dad out at the restaurant. Next summer, I'm hoping I'll be on my way to getting a real grown up job. Hopefully. Or at least a nice cushy receptionist job before I do my Masters.
Other things that have occured.... de de dee! Mostly summery things. Visiting pals in London, hanging out with Jazzy Jess, catching up with old friends... I went to a festival in London with Owen and Kirsty which was a lot of fun. I had the tastiest pie there ever. I also saw The Pipettes, Buzzcocks, British Sea Power and Graham Coxon. They were all great. Also, I saw Babyshambles and Lily Allen who were both exceptionally impressive. Not what I went to see but saw for the experience and they were wholly surprising. I even LIKE Babyshambles now! Aha, I can mention that in my dissertation... going to see a band I don't necessarily like for the experience. Hum, yes.
Ben and I went to Memorabilia last month with Gillian and Matthew and that was lots of fun. We had plenty of fun animated chattings and got free goody bags with Sonic the Hedgehog posters in! I bought shedloads of stuff, including a briliiant robotic Homer and a robotic Nibbler. I also got my very own Doctor of Doctor Who fame. Granted, he is only 6 inches tall but still. They're all waiting to claim residence in my Cardiff home.
I've had my hair cut. It's all neat now and a bit grown up. Not excessively so however still an obvious difference. Nice though. It's the first step on the way to getting a super short, super sleek razor cut bob. That will be fun. And different. And make me feel a bit like I'm bald. But still. Will be nice. I think.
That's all I have to say. However. Don't you think it's odd that people disregard you once they know that you're not as valuable to them as you initially thought? They sort of just give up and move on to paying attention to someone else. No matter what sort of relationship you had. Very odd. Why do you think that is? Some strange element of human nature to not give a fuck once you know that they can't do you any favours. I've witnessed in 2 people in the last week. Quite disconcerting, that.
I go now, in order to nurse my damaged leg and listen to more Bright Eyes.
