Easter update
It is now the Easter holidays which is fab. I once saw a guy in America wearing a t-shirt that on the front said 'Teacher' and on the back said 'Doing it for the holidays' and sometimes i feel a bit like that wise man. Mainly when it's holiday time and i see everyone else going to work whilst i can sleep in and laze around like a student again. Superb...if i was a cat i'd be purring. Saying that, why was i up on the first day of the holidays at 6.30am?? crazy stuff, maybe just in a routine. Ah well, I'll soon get myself out of that. Tonight i am going home to babysit jess (not that she's a baby anymore, but i wouldn't have liked being left home all night on my own at 15 and maybe she wouldn't either, or maybe my parents just want someone there to ensure she doesn't have any people of the male variety over, which is perhaps more likely). Anyhow, we'll probably go out for a meal and to the cinema, but she wants to see Norbit, urgh, so maybe not. In the morning i have to go to church for the second week running, as for the vicar to marry us in that church at least one of us (me) has to have been a regular worshipper there for 6 months, so i have to go to church at least once or twice a month for 6 months. I'm not too worried about this, as they could have made it every sunday and didn't, but it is quite a long service (90 minutes) and tomorrow cos of palm sunday it'll be even longer and frankly my arse is too fat for the pews and last week i kept slipping off. This may be a problem in the actual ceremony, come to think of it, cos i come from a family with huge arses, and not just a few people may be experiencing the same thing happening and not concentrating 100% on our declarations of love and obedience. On that topic, i have to decide whether i am going to say in my vows that i will 'love and cherish' paul or 'love, cherish and obey' him - sorry paul but i think i'm going with the former one! I can't promise to obey someone surely, they could tell me to do crazy things like like my own toes or eat brussel sprouts and hello, not going to happen. Although when i was a kid i used to suck my toes. Can't imagine being able to reach them to do that now though. I wonder if anyone can? Maybe gymnasts. I encourage everyone who reads this to try and report back if you can do it. I'd be very jealous. Or i'd just think you were a weirdo for trying it. But weird's not such a bad thing.
So in other news?? Er, well not much really. We've chosen the place for the wedding and reception which should be quite cool and original and sort of set a date for the 2nd August next year, but this will have to be confirmed by vicar and reception-place-lady who we are meeting on tuesday. I am going to ask jess and hazel to be my bridesmaids and hope i don't offend too many people by not asking them. The problem is i have too many close female friends to ask just one or two, and too many young kids i could ask, so i'll have to be fair and just stick to sisters. Hazel is coming to visit next week which should be nice. I like her. She's cool. I hope she agrees to be my bridesmaid.
I have also just finished one of my counselling courses although i still have the second draft of my essay to do which is in finally in june, so that won't be done for a while. For my other course i am researching phobias, anxiety and stress, which i can at least include some personal examples of. I am phobic of birds (especially pigeons) and heights (as witnessed on the snowdonia trip last year by many students, how embarassing) and am none too keen on closed in spaces either. I don't think this makes me too much of a freak though as i do know one person who is phobic of cotton wool, and even the thought of it makes her gag, and that really is relagated to the weirdo category.
Right, must get off and wash my hair and go collect 2 parcels from the delivery place before they shut. I hate it when people don't pay enough postage it's really annoying. Ah well, take care all, have a good weekend and easter break. xx
