(no subject)
I'm currently procrastinating from writing my essays. My timetable for getting them done says I should have written 5000 words by now, but I have in fact written 2289. Whilst this is an improvement on the 1598 I had earlier today, it's still not looking good lol.
So anyways, the era of the purple tshirt is over! I got into work this morning (I drove myself!) and saw the new sub of the day things on the door (in case you're wondering, it's only saturday and sunday that have changed, and I'm not happy about it because ham conspires against me!) and the weird onion things (I have no idea what that's all about) and as if by magic, I was allowed to wear green! Ari and I had one of our deep morning conversations (I think he's going to miss me next week when I only work one day lol) and he got yelled at by a crazy vegan. And Vicki was late because she had some digestive trouble after being dared to eat a lot of chillies yesterday hehee. Then after that I went and had coffee at the new spangly starbucks with Ian :D he's going to buy me the cute barista for my birthday :D:D:D:D
Hmm...I feel like I should say something deep because it's my first post since the new year and that's the time for deep thoughts about last year. Well, I can honestly that this time last year I would never have expected to be doing what I'm doing - I was kind of hoping to have a job, be married (or at least engaged), be living somewhere nice and to be happy. Whilst I have a job and I am technically living somewhere nice, this wasn't quite what I had in mind! But y'know what, this is so much better. I have a job I really enjoy (even if I do occasionally have to be bribed with starbucks to finish my 10 hour shifts!) and which has changed me so much. I realised the other day that I really am so much more confident and independant than I was and I never would have achieved this without all that nasty heartbreak. I realised that people aren't nearly as scary as they seem and that even though everything in my life isn't wonderful right now, I still have so much to be thankful for and happy about. And that being nice to other people really does make a difference (I realised that after a chat I had with my postman the other day lol). I'm going to get my masters and get a job I really love (even if I do have a gap year first hehe). So in essence, it's all good :) I hope 2008 has less heartbreak than 2007, but I wouldn't change a minute of last year. I also hope 2008 brings better money management skills than 2007 because whilst I managed to pay off my overdraft, when I get paid tomorrow I will have earned £4000 from Subway and I have no idea where a lot of that money went hehee. And on that note, I'm going to go back to writing about biodiversity in assessing the quality of an environmental statement!
Love you all lotsies :)
