finally final year
hello old diary blog :)
well so, things have changed slightly since the last time i logged into here!! im 23 now, in final year of my civil engineering degree (whod a thunk it)
been with my mister ben for two years (nearly :P), ive got an awesome little job nd so many friends :)
mum and dad live in brazil and eimear is about to move to china because some little smarty pants got accepted for international business at Dongbei University in Dalian!!
Life couldnt have changed more really, im happy now! like genuinely happy and its amazing!
I have one year (just 24 weeks!!) left of university, i was lucky with that .. when i quit architecture i had passed all my first year modules quite well meaning that when i applied for engineering i could skip straight to second year. Engineering was a stroke of luck that realistically i should have applied for to begin with. Its applied math, the one subject ive always loved!!
once again however ive changed my mind slightly about my direction and am contemplating a Msc in financial math once i graduate.. but we shall see!! I should stay well away from post grad courses considering the issues ive had with undergraduate ones .. but there ya go.
Ben and i cycled from his over to greenwich the other day, that university looks amazing and im very much contemplating looking at them for my masters.. but like i said, we shall see :)
Eugh im feeling kinda sick right now its so poooooo... i think i ate too much junk food!
well in two weeks ben and i are jetting off to cyprus for a week, i cant waaaaait!! the weather here has been amazing but nothing beats getting away from the humdrum of normality and laying by the pool for a few hours, sipping some cold drinks! Oh and were going scuba diving too!! soooo excited :D
the mister taught me to swim last year on holiday so its no issue now :)
working in a gym helps too, joys of a free membership to a virgin active gym and pool :) i love my little job!! all the people are soooo nice it couldnt be more different from when i was so lonely at uni in second year architecture. now not a day goes past that im not talking to someone or if i feel the need to have a chat ill even strike up conversations with customers!! They love it too :P
got a staff meeting tonight actually that im not really looking forward to .. i just know things are gonna get heated about silly things like breaks allowance and wages and bleh, b ut oh well
hmm oh i dont really go back to derry anymore, ive been back twice this year i think .. realistically ben cant go back with me so im less likely to go there and now with my work and my life over here i just find myself wanting to go back less and less. The fact that really not many people keep in touch anymore helps. Clare and i used to call at least once a week but we had a fight over her talking about bens profession last time i was back and although we sorted things we just arent so close now.
the fight wasnt about ben himself it was about my family but with bens profession being the main issue. its hard to explain when i cant really write up all the details but yeah its a sad situation but there you go.
at the end of the day they are all going on holiday together this year ( i was invited this time surprisingly enough) but have had holidays for weeks to the states and all sorts keeping in mind not one of them pays rent or bills of any sort, even food is bought by the parents and yet i havnt had a visit from someone since sinead and eimear visited last year...
i dont want to sound bitter i mean at the end of the day im the one who left, im the one who is still at university but working and house hunting and paying bills and working for the future, i decided to grow up..
i dont drink or smoke anymore, i eat (usually) quite healthy .. in general im just a different person than i used to be and im not sad, i miss some of the things we used to do but the drinking all the time or the constant boredom of languishing in one town where you know everyone and everyones business .. no thank you.
i miss them though, when i picture my graduation party i always imagine they will be there .. even though i know in the back of my mind they wont show.
anyways, generally i have too much on my mind to think about all that too much!!
its SO HUMID here right now!! it reminds me of china!! we had a family holiday there last year, thats when eimear fell in love with the country and decided to move there.
eugh i think im def coming down with something!! i dont feel good at all!!
sigh im bored now, i cant really think of anything else to write in here ..
perhaps i will update this again soon, but realistically ill probably remember it next year and write a new little update :)
