So, I am at the seaside :) Weather: Sunny but very windy.
Internet access: Limited. I have dial-up at Dad's, which is excrutiatingly slow, so I am at present at the library, where I can have an hour a day. At present I am on 11 minutes lol. I may have to think cunningly about how this is going to work, including writing e-mails and things on my laptop, saving them to my KUSU USB pen and then sending them at the library. Or doing the same but sitting through hours of waiting for pages to load, and then only having them load 30% of the time (note - facebook does not seem to be designed for dial up, I feel there is a certain irony that I cant get facebook on my Dad's computer but Katy can get it on her phone). Anyway, I do feel quite lucky to have the library, so all is good.
Funny story - Last year when packing to leave I accidentally left behind my spaghetti, and Hannah and Simon were kind enough to look after it for me over the holidays. This year I thought it would be an amusing joke to leave the spaghetti on purpose so that they could do so again, which I did, chuckling to myself. I then discovered upon arriving in Coventry that I'd accidentally left a duvet behind, which Hannah and Simon have been very kind in saying they will look after. Unfortunately, it makes the amusing spaghetti joke slightly less funny I feel. Ah well.
We got to Coventry and I sorted out from my stuff what I wanted to take to Dad's with me, and then everything else went into R&C's loft. This makes me quite sad inside, as it seems like I will officially be living out of a suitcase for the next month and a half. But I did bring all the important things down with me, and I've just bought a new pair of shoes :)
I am also very sad because I am missing everyone :( I am putting a brave face on it though. I bought pear drops!
My master's application form is all in, at least one of my references is in, I'm assuming the other is, so now all I have to do is sit and wait. Both my parents have said that I should accept any offer regardless of funding and we will find a way to do it somehow. After this point, however, they differ, my Father says I should avoid having to get a job at all costs and that he will give me any support he can so that I dont have to get one. My Mother says that she will give me support as long as I get a job and try and support myself. Unfortunately it appears that it is my Mother that has the most money hehe. In any case, it is looking more and more likely that I will be back at Keele in September, so happy thoughts Hannah! And, if I'm not back in September, you can keep the duvet and the spaghetti - see them as my guarentee of return.
I'd better go now, as I seem to have now used 23 minutes of my hour - I'm suspicious of the accuracy of this clock. Love you all, and dont feel offended if I'm not on facebook much *sniff*
