University
It is only 19 days left. I got a suitcase, tomorrow I will pay for accomodation. SAAS are going to cover my tuition fees.
I have to get a parcel service for a few things. I have to get some sort of prescription for the pill, or I will have to find a gynaecologist in Scotland, which might be possible as well, but more expensive.
I have to buy some books, I fortunetely already read some of the necessary stuff for English, and fuck I need to open my internet account and do the module thingie and I am overcharged, but well...
Life
This weekend was nice. Friday night we have been to the lantern festival, which is in the next sort of bigger city and it was quite lovely, because we all met dozens of people we knew and had not seen in a while. I had thai noodles, which was awesome and I bought anis candy for boyfriend. There was a huge drama because of getting home and people being stupid. Seriously, if you do not organize stuff on your own, you always end up in trouble. I hate it.
Apparently people are incapable of reading bus plans and all, but we ended up getting home with some friends.
Did I mention my utmost dislike for people.
But the evening was lovely. I talked to some friends from school and had nice food and sweets.
I drove home with Sonja and boyfriend with some friends. He gave me his car keys, in case I'd be there before he would, so I would not be cold at the station. Very lovely indeed.
So we got home, watched an episode of Scrubs and went to sleep.
Saturday was his cousin's wedding. It sucks to not kiss in churches, because there pemanently is the impulse to do so.
The reverend, well, he was quite bizarre, but I guess he made a nice job of it. The bride had an ugly tattoo on her breast. Memo to self: Never get a tattoo in a place that will be visible when wearing your wedding dress.
The party was nice. Cakes, great food...not so great music, but oh well.
Sunday, we did pretty much nothing at all except for watching Scrubs and in the evening we drove to my place. Is today Tuesday, I am confused.
Well all in all, things are going just fine at the moment, which is sort of depressing.
Books
I read The Handmaid's Tale by Margarete Atwood, which gave me a night of nightmares. The thing that is so scary is in how far most of the things described in the dystopia have actually appeared somewhere in modern history.
Like the idea to make women machines who have to produce children, which was a concept the nazis used. Or the comments about islamism. It was freaky and I liked the writing a lot, because despite the fact that one never learns the main character's true name, after a while you feel like knowing her. The thing with "Hiruno maleficis evoltat" was touching and the Commandant. I just disliked this historical comment in the end, which made it sort of a travesty. I mean, the irony was there throughout the entire thing, but that was sort of riddiculous.
Now I am reading Short Stories, by Alice Munroe. She is fantastic. That is all I can say.
Blah
Today I will make payment for accomodation. Probably that will cause me to cry for several hours, because it is one more definite step.
Kara, send my package ;)
