My Day
Today was okay... fairly unproductive, but good! I ate waaaaay too much, so am now totally resolved to do SOME form of exercise tomorrow.
I spent most of the evening chatting away to Liz on MSN, one of the girls I'm living with next year. It terrifies me how alike we are - our likes and dislikes, our interests, our attitudes towards things... it's ridiculous, even down to our insane love of olives on pizzas and cottage cheese with pineapple chunks in!! Tonight we ended up talking about places we want to visit - admittedly we did list half the nations of the world whilst doing so, so the similarities may not be that great - and we ended up saying we should go travelling together next summer. Hopefully that's not one of those things you just say and never do! Admittedly living together changes everything, and who knows, by this time next year we may hate each other, but I think it'll be good! :)
Being home is incredible, but I do miss Uni. misssimm put it best (in the same phone conversation that inspired the Yorkshire Tea Appeal - see her journal for details!) - it's a case of the grass is always greener on the other side! When I'm in Aber I get incredibly homesick for Friday nights at the pub, my kitten chasing his tail, my Mother's home-cooking and little stone walls that just characterise Yorkshire for me! When I have all that, like right now, I miss living a stone's throw from the sea, discussing Neighbours in great depth with my friends, pub quiz night, the favourite pizza places and lectures like there's no tomorrow. It's like I just can't win!!
I'm just going to try and enjoy home while it lasts, and then REALLY enjoy next year! I really can't wait. I'm starting to get nervous about exam results which are out next month, as we all know how this went last year, but I think I'll be okay. I know I did well on some papers - I know I did badly on at least one. But I think it'll be okay. I'm settling for just trying not to think about it, personally! :)
We had a little more Stepmother drama tonight - will update more about that at some point in a locked post. It's nowhere near as bad as the last e-mail, but I wasn't impressed by certain things in this one. That said, I am considerably biased now, so I may be making something out of nothing!!
I suppose I should try to get to sleep - I want to be up around 8am so I can shower and have a few coffees before starting to e-mail/ring around various places on the job hunt. (Plus, then I can watch the morning version of Jeremy Kyle, yes I am highly ashamed of myself) I'm also meeting friends in town at lunchtime, and then possibly going swimming (or at the very last a walk!) later on. Yay, I like having plans! It's a lot better than sitting at home all day feeling like a useless lump!
Also, must do my student loan form tomorrow. Don't let me forget that, I've already put it off for long enough!!!
