Life in general...
Last night was really nice; went out for dinner and drinks with Sophie, Ed and Rocki. When we went out last week as a whole group, I spent an over an hour in the loo with excrutiating stomach cramps, dry heaving. This time was fine - I laid that ghost to rest I think! No need to feel quite so embarrassed.
Andrew Davies (the guy who did Pride & Prejudice, Bleakhouse and Little Dorrit for the BBC) is coming to uni to talk to us this evening. I'm quite looking forward to it, although he does have a reputation for being a complete shit when he wants to be. Hopefully we'll all ask the right questions...
I'm quite concerned about the money stuff at the mo. I'm seriously considering getting a new loan, with a smaller interest rate and a period of non-repayment, paying off my current loan and actually giving myself something to live off. As things stnd, my rent and the loan repayments are going to eat up the whole thing by about February. Then I'll be fucked completely. If I can just lose the repayment side of things I might manage. I really don't want to miss out on the social side of my course, but I can't afford to go out for dinner again at the moment; I want to enjoy this course and make friends without worrying I'll get into oodles of debt.
I'm feeling quite homesick today, probably because I'm by myself. I can't concentrate on the reading (mainly because it's boring beyond all reason) but I have to get it done so there's no point complaining!
